Brock Purdy’s once-delayed elbow surgery could happen early next week, if all looks OK in an imminent exam in Arizona this week, 49ers general manager John Lynch said Tuesday.
Whether Purdy’s recovery timeline still aligns with a six-month target before the regular season, Lynch would only go so far as to say, “We’ll see where it goes.”
Lynch, speaking at the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis, acknowledged the uncertainty that remains for what extent of repair or reconstruction is facing Purdy, who tore the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow when sacked on the 49ers’ opening possession of their NFC Championship Game loss at Philadelphia on Jan. 29.
