49ers pursuing big-time trade before Tue. deadline

The San Francisco 49ers face a slew of injuries, including to their starting quarterback, but manage to put together wins anyway. Brock Purdy missed seven games due to a turf toe injury, leaving former first rounder Mac Jones leading the offense for the majority of the season.
In Week 6, Malik Mustapha came back. The 49ers used Sigle in a platoon with Mustapha for two games, but once Mustapha took his role back over, there were no more snaps for Sigle. The 49ers move Ji’Ayir Brown into the starting lineup and slide Jason Pinnock into the nickel, making Sigle the fourth safety.
The San Francisco 49ers have been winning games despite significant injuries to key players. On Sunday, first-round pick Mykel Williams suffered a season-ending knee injury in a victory over the New York Giants.
Kyle Shanahan said last week that there was some hope that Brock Purdy could serve as the backup or emergency quarterback for Sunday's road game against the Giants, but he ultimately remained on the inactive list due to turf toe while Mac Jones started for the fifth straight game.
Sights and sounds that would have been unimaginable in the heyday of the Giants-49ers rivalry left Jon Runyan Jr. with a pit in his stomach.
