Mac Jones, the 49ers quarterback, was the final player to address the media at a recent OTAs session, stating his commitment to the team while acknowledging he has not thrown due to shoulder soreness.

San Francisco is also exploring options to bolster their pass rush, potentially using Jones as part of a trade package if they pursue a higher-profile edge rusher.
