49ers believe QB Brock Purdy suffered UCL injury

The 49ers’ blowout loss in the NFC championship game was catalyzed by an injury to quarterback Brock Purdy on San Francisco’s first possession. ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Sunday evening reported the 49ers believe Purdy suffered an injury to his ulnar collateral ligament. He will have an MRI on Monday.

Purdy on Sunday drove the 49ers to the 50 on their first possession. On a second-and-6, San Francisco tried some play action trickery. The result was Eagles defensive end Haason Reddick blowing past tight end Tyler Kroft and hitting Purdy’s arm as he threw. The play resulted in a fumble recovered by the Eagles.
