Speculation has emerged regarding the Baltimore Ravens potentially pursuing San Francisco 49ers quarterback Mac Jones should starter Lamar Jackson suffer an injury. The discussion follows Jones' appearance warming up before the 49ers' game against the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field on October 11, 2026.
Jones, wearing number 10 for San Francisco, was photographed during pregame preparations at the Seattle venue. The former New England Patriots first-round pick has served as a backup for the 49ers since joining the organization.
Jackson, the Ravens' franchise quarterback and former NFL MVP, remains the undisputed starter in Baltimore. Any potential move for Jones would be contingent on Jackson's availability, though no injury has been reported. The Ravens' current backup options behind Jackson include Josh Johnson and Devin Leary.
Jones, 26, was selected 15th overall by New England in the 2021 NFL Draft and led the Patriots to a playoff berth as a rookie. He was traded to San Francisco in 2024 after two inconsistent seasons in New England.
