The 49ers are aiming to start the 2025 season with two consecutive road victories,

and it does not look as if anything will come easy in the big easy.

The 49ers turn to backup quarterback Mack Jones with Brock Purdy out of action for at least one game with a toe injury,

and they will not

have George Kittle available either. On this episode of 49ers talk, we will check in with Coach

Kyle Shanahan in our weekly segment of 49ers game plan. He will tell us what the team must do

to overcome the losses of a couple of their top players. We will also continue our Ask Papa segment with the man himself, Greg Papa.

He brings us up to date on his personal battle and we'll talk some football too.

We have the injury update and everything else that will get you set for kickoff on this episode of 49ers talk coming at you right now welcome to another episode of

And I'm Matt and Jennifer Lee Chan is en route to New Orleans, where the 49ers face the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.

And they're going to do it with kind of a hodgepodge, if you will, of offensive players.

Still a lot of uncertainty.

What's going to happen at the wide receiver position?

Of course, Mack Jones will make the start in place of Brock Purdy.

That means Adrian Martinez. The newcomer who's on the practice squad will be the 49ers

backup quarterback for this game. And I'm recording this outside of Levi Stadium on a busy street.

49ers on the road to New Orleans. And so I'm on the road to the 49ers studios where we do NBC Sports Bay Area

studios, studios where we do 49ers pre and post game live on Sunday.
