As Giants co-owner John Mara battles cancer, a supportive airplane banner flew over MetLife Stadium’s parking lots before Sunday’s game against the 49ers. The banner read: “MR. MARA GET WELL SOON & WATCH GIANTS NATION SHOW.” That show is a popular fan-run Giants podcast.

Ferrell and trade acquisition Keion White will be the new blood on the 49ers defensive line, moves that were made even more necessary with the 49ers’ placing defensive lineman Yetur Gross-Matos on injured reserve, meaning he will miss at least the next four games. The 49ers (5-3) face the Giants (2-6) Sunday at MetLife Stadium. (CBS, 10 a.m.)

The Giants' defensive secondary will have to field some young players this weekend, with most of their starters sidelined by injury.

San Francisco 49ers DC Robert Saleh says rookie QB Jaxson Dart is "uber talented" and feels the New York Giants "hit on this one big time."

Purdy won’t start. Coach Kyle Shanahan said that duty still belongs to backup Mac Jones when the 49ers (5-3) visit the Giants (2-6) at the Meadowlands Sunday (CBS, 10 a.m.) But Shanahan left open the possibility that Purdy could be active and be No. 2 ahead of Adrian Martinez. He didn’t commit to it, however.

The San Francisco 49ers may get their starting quarterback back in Week 9 when they visit the New York Giants, but their starter isn't set to change. Quarterback Brock Purdy is officially listed as questionable after getting a trio of limited practices in during the week.
