Sad report;Finally Brock Purdy mentioned his departure from Francisco 49ers’ today what happened…..
After further testing, the San Francisco 49ers’ fears became a reality, as quarterback Brock Purdy has a “complete tear” of the UCL in his throwing elbow, according to NFL Network.
The report added that Purdy will be looking for second opinions to avoid getting Tommy John surgery, which wouldn’t have him ready for training camp. Tommy John surgery, commonly found when baseball pitchers suffer an injury to the UCL, is a reconstruction of the ligament.
Purdy is hoping something different can be done to have him ready to vie for the starting job this upcoming summer.
The injury to Purdy came when he was looking to make a pass downfield, but Eagles edge rusher Haason Reddick, who is having quite the playoff thus far, hit him before his arm came forward, causing a fumble and switching the field in favor of the home team.

Purdy’s arm was clearly disrupted as Reddick’s hand smacked him prior to the throw.
Backup quarterback Josh Johnson came in for Purdy, but he suffered his own injury during the game. A concussion was sustained after a hit, knocking him out of the contest and forcing Purdy back in.
Head coach Kyle Shanahan had no choice, but Purdy couldn’t throw the football more than five yards. The offense, then, was one-dimensional and the Eagles feasted on their run plays, no matter how tricky Shanahan tried to get with them.
