The San Francisco 49ers plan on wrapping up their OTAs on Thursday after cancelling next week\u2019s mandatory minicamp, but backup quarterback Mac Jones has not thrown last week or this week owing to shoulder soreness.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\u201cI also love it here, and I\u2019m not really in the business of leaving good people, so I\u2019m not mad about it at all,\u201d Jones said via NBC Sports. \u201cI think it\u2019s a great organization, and I did a lot of fun stuff last year, but it\u2019s a new year. I feel like this is the first year I\u2019ve had the same offensive playbook, being in the NFL, so that\u2019s kind of nice. If you go to a new team, you\u2019ve got to learn a new playbook again and kind of do everything over, so it\u2019s good.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m excited, and really, just looking forward to this summer and getting everything going again.\u201d<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust a little soreness in my shoulder,\u201d Jones said. \u201cEverything\u2019s clean and looks good, so just kind of being precautionary, I guess is the word. But yeah, I\u2019ll be ready for training camp.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/article>\n
