The Facts: According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, Purdy is headed to Jacksonville today to throw the next couple weeks with QB coach Will Hewlett and ortho specialist Tom Gormely — another sign Purdy is progressing through his rehab following elbow surgery and remains on track to be ready for the 2023 season.
Diehards Line:
Hewlett worked with Purdy before the 2022 NFL draft, and Purdy will count on Hewlett to help him get his throwing mechanics back to where they were before the elbow injury he suffered in the NFC Championship Game. If Purdy is healthy, he’s expected to be the 49ers’ starting quarterback when the season starts. Trey Lance and Sam Darnold may get most of the work in training camp and the preseason while Purdy continues to focus on getting back to 100 percent.
