Kyle’s update, 5:37 p.m. PT: Adam Schefter reported that the 49ers believe Brock Purdy injured his UCL during Sunday’s game, and the hope is that it’s not ruptured. If that’s not the case, Purdy would require only a six-week recovery. His MRI on Monday will provide more clarity.
In the press box, some feared that a potential rupture could lead to Tommy John surgery, which is obviously the worst-case scenario. Generally speaking, Tommy John surgery would force Purdy to miss anywhere between 9 and 12 months.
It was evident that 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy was suffering severe pain in his elbow.
