Brock Purdy’s elbow was ‘on fire’ after hit but he says his surgically repaired ligament is fine
Associated PressSANTA CLARA, Calif. — Brock Purdy hurt his surgically repaired throwing elbow late in a loss to the Detroit Lions on Monday night, the latest blow in an injury-plagued season for the San Francisco 49ers. “But it doesn’t feel that bad, so we’ll see tomorrow.” Purdy said initial tests showed no damage to the ulnar collateral ligament he hurt in a 2022 NFC title-game loss at Philadelphia, and he hopes to play the season finale on Sunday. He couldn’t feel much.” Joshua Dobbs replaced Purdy and led a touchdown drive to close out the loss, which left the Niners assured of finishing in last place in the NFC West after making it to the Super Bowl last season. The pass game was going really well.” After throwing another touchdown pass on San Francisco’s first drive of the second half, Purdy struggled down the stretch, throwing two interceptions to Kerby Joseph that ended the Niners’ hopes of a victory.
