Report: 49ers' Brock Purdy Out 6 Months After Elbow Injury Diagnosed as Torn UCL

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy reportedly may need surgery after suffering a torn UCL during Sunday's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, "the initial hope is he can undergo a repair—not reconstruction (aka Tommy John)—and will be ready for training camp."

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Purdy will be sidelined for six months and noted the quarterback is seeking second opinions about whether he needs the surgery the 49ers recommended.

This article will be updated soon to provide more information and analysis.
