Even with their 2023 season over, quarterback injuries continue to haunt the 49ers.
San Francisco quarterback Brock Purdy will miss six months after tearing his UCL in the 49ers’ 31–7 loss to the Eagles in the NFC championship on Sunday, according to a Monday afternoon report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Per Schefter, Purdy "is seeking second medical opinions about whether he needs surgery," with the team "recommending surgery." However, no decision has reportedly been made.
Purdy was injured in San Francisco’s first drive on Sunday in Philadelphia, but pressed back into service in the second half after quarterback Josh Johnson—the 49ers’ fourth-stringer—was knocked out with a concussion.
