A short week was not kind to the San Francisco 49ers, since the team will be without key offensive pieces, including the Brock Purdy Field Marshal, against the Los Angeles Rams in “Thursday Night Football”.
Open receptors Ricky Pearsall and Jauan Jennings will not be available for 49ers on Thursday night.
Purdy lost weeks and 3 after suffering an injury in the first game of the season, but returned in week 4 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. During the defeat 26-21, Purdy’s feet injury turned on again.

In turn, Mac Jones will make his third beginning of the season.
He completed Purdy in the previous games, completing 66% of his passes for 563 yards with four touchdowns and an interception in that period. The 49ers won both games.

Jones is also dealing with a knee injury, but the 49ers said he was a participant of the complete practice in the three injury reports this week. He has no game state on Thursday night.
Jennings is fighting ankle and rib injuries, while Pearsall has been limited by a knee problem. The 49ers will resort to the Kendrick Bourne and Demarcus Robinson receptors, the last of which debuted last season after fulfilling a suspension.
San Francisco will also be without the receptor Jordan Watkins (calf) and the defensive wing Robert Beal (ankle), while the defensive Tackle CJ West (thumb) is questionable.

This is already a fundamental game in the NFC West Race, with both teams that enter 3-1 in the first of the two clashes this season. The Rams recovered last week with a victory after an overwhelming defeat against the Philadelphia Eagles, when two blocked field goals sealed the defeat.
Matthew Stafford and the offensive of the Rams have prospered, since the incorporation of Davante Adams to play with Puka Nacua and Kyren Williams has taken the fourth more yards per game in the league this season.

The 49ers chief coach, Kyle Shanahan, will have to rely on the Christian McCaffrey stars and the precision of Jones to prevent Rams from moving away.
