The Facts: Purdy is awaiting second opinions on his injured right elbow to make a decision on the course of action. Purdy tore his ulnar collateral ligament on the sixth play of Sunday’s game when Eagles pass rusher Haason Reddick pinned Purdy’s arm as Purdy was in his throwing motion. “I still have some options to weigh and will make a final decision soon,” Purdy said Tuesday.
Diehards Line:
The 49ers’ team doctors are recommending surgery. Purdy’s rehab is expected to take six months and he expects to be ready for the 2023 season. "I’ll be ready come camp and honestly what matters to me most is being able to play for the season,” he said. HC Kyle Shanahan said today that the most encouraging thing he’s heard on Purdy is if surgery is done, he’ll build up his arm strength from 3-6 months. By 6 months he’ll be “the same dude and ready to go.”
