The San Francisco 49ers plan on wrapping up their OTAs on Thursday after cancelling next week’s mandatory minicamp, but backup quarterback Mac Jones has not thrown last week or this week owing to shoulder soreness.

Jones, who went 5-3 as a starter last season for the 49ers in place of the injured Brock Purdy, is once again behind Purdy on the club’s depth chart. And while he would prefer the job of a starter, Jones said that he isn’t upset about his current situation and believes that he’s part of a good organization that he’s not looking to depart from.

“I also love it here, and I’m not really in the business of leaving good people, so I’m not mad about it at all,” Jones said via NBC Sports. “I think it’s a great organization, and I did a lot of fun stuff last year, but it’s a new year. I feel like this is the first year I’ve had the same offensive playbook, being in the NFL, so that’s kind of nice. If you go to a new team, you’ve got to learn a new playbook again and kind of do everything over, so it’s good.

“I’m excited, and really, just looking forward to this summer and getting everything going again.”

As far as the soreness in his shoulder, Jones doesn’t believe it will hamper him from being ready for Training Camp in late July.

“Just a little soreness in my shoulder,” Jones said. “Everything’s clean and looks good, so just kind of being precautionary, I guess is the word. But yeah, I’ll be ready for training camp.”
