How to watch the 49ers vs. the Saints on Sunday
The San Francisco 49ers take on the New Orleans Saints at 10:05 a.m. PT on Sunday, Sept. 14 at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.
The Niners are not expected to have quarterback Brock Purdy or tight end George Kittle for the Week 2 matchup as both suffered injuries in the season-opening win in Seattle over the Seahawks. Purdy has a toe injury and a shoulder issue, neither of which kept him from playing a snap in the win, while Kittle’s hamstring injury knocked him out in the second quarter and
Former Patriots first-round pick Mac Jones is expected to start in Purdy’s place, five years after the 49ers considered drafting him No. 3 overall. Jake Tonges, formerly of Los Gatos High and Cal, stepped into Kittle’s spot and caught the game-winning touchdown from Purdy in Week 1.
Whether the backups can repeat that success on Sunday will go a long way to determining if the 49ers can win on the road again.
