Brock Purdy reportedly tore the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow in Sunday’s NFC Championship Game loss to the Eagles.
The news was initially reported by NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, but the team has not confirmed the results of Purdy’s MRI, which was scheduled for Monday.
Purdy may be able to avoid a complete reconstruction — also known as Tommy John surgery — and instead opt for a repair, which has a typical recovery time of about six months, according to Pelissero and other reports.
