That being the case, quarterback Brock Purdy may have to feed the ball to Pearsall and tight end George Kittle in the passing game. Kittle has proven to be one of the league's best tight ends for years now, so it's Pearsall's turn to show that he can be a dependable No. 1 option in a thin receiving room.

Completed 6 of 8 pass attempts and threw a beautiful touchdown pass in the red zone while rolling to his left, as well as a second touchdown pass to Isaac Guerendo. The 49ers most likely will need Jones to play at some point this season, and it seems they should be able to win with him. He's a good backup quarterback.

The San Francisco 49ers activated wide receiver Ricky Pearsall from the PUP list Sunday after his recovery from a hamstring injury.
