John Lynch provides injury update on 49ers quarterback Mac Jones

The San Francisco 49ers have been ravaged by injuries so far this season.

They've lost superstar pass rusher Nick Bosa for the season, and other key players have missed extended time as well, including Brock Purdy, George Kittle, Jauan Jennings, and Ricky Pearsall.

Even backup quarterback Mac Jones, who has played well in place of the injured Purdy, has popped up on the injury report with an oblique injury.

John Lynch downplays Mac Jones' injury

In an appearance on KNBR, Niners general manager John Lynch was asked about Jones' injury, which was new this week.

"No, I think we feel pretty good about where he's going to be," said Lynch via The Athletic's Matt Barrows.

Jones has been hobbled since taking over the starting job from the injured Purdy, and he took a beating last Thursday night in the Niners' win over the Los Angeles Rams.

The Alabama product was sacked only once throughout the overtime victory, but was hit 10 times throughout the game.

The Athletic's Dianna Russini reported that Jones was suffering through extreme cramps in both legs while fighting off the urge to vomit.

Through three starts, the former 15th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft has put up some gaudy numbers, completing 66.7% of his passes for 905 yards, six touchdowns, and one interception.

Jones is a tough player, and it seems like he's willing to play through just about anything to stay on the field. It's unlikely an oblique injury will prevent him from suiting up on Sunday when San Francisco takes on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
