Reports: Purdy suffered torn UCL, will be sidelined six months originally appeared on NBC Sports Bayarea
Brock Purdy reportedly will be sidelined for the next six months.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Monday, citing sources, that the 49ers rookie quarterback endured a complete tear of the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in his right throwing elbow and is recommended to undergo surgery. However, no official decision has been made as of Monday afternoon.
NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero added that Purdy is getting second opinions on his elbow and the hope is he will undergo just a repair — not full reconstructive surgery — to be ready for 49ers training
