Mac Jones, quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, recently played through a knee injury during a Thursday Night Football game against the Los Angeles Rams. He was dealing with a PCL (posterior cruciate ligament) sprain in his left knee, an injury he had been playing through since training camp. Despite this, Jones completed 33 of 49 passes for 342 yards and two touchdowns, showing resilience and toughness. He also experienced cramping in his forearm during the game but returned to play after briefly going down on the field. His performance helped the 49ers secure a 26-23 overtime victory, and he earned praise from coaches and teammates for his grit and commitment. Jones emphasized that he was signed as a backup and supports the starting quarterback Brock Purdy, who is currently injured.
In summary, Mac Jones is currently the 49ers' backup quarterback stepping up due to injuries on the team, performing well despite an existing knee injury.
