San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy may have taken his last snaps of the 2024 season during Monday night's loss to the Detroit Lions. Purdy exited the game late in the fourth quarter after sustaining an elbow injury. He was replaced by Josh Dobbs, who finished out the remainder of the game.

After the loss, Purdy spoke with reporters and explained a bit of what happened to his elbow. The way he described it certainly didn't sound good, though he was reportedly cleared of having sustained any UCL damage. He underwent surgery to repair the UCL in his right elbow after last season.
