San Francisco 49ers rookie sensation Brock Purdy has suffered an elbow injury and has been taken out of the NFC Championship Game against the Philadelphia Eagles, only for his replacement, Josh Johnson, to also suffer an injury and be taken out of the game.
Purdy was crushed by Eagles defensive star Haason Reddick in a brutal sack that saw the reigning Mr. Irrelevant fumble, which was recovered by Philadelphia and led to a turnover after the initial incomplete pass call was overturned. Purdy was taken out of the game immediately, with fourth-string quarterback Johnson brought in.
Purdy has entered the medical tent and was captured practicing his throwing motion on the side. The 23-year-old was also seen talking to 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan as he appeared to say he couldn't throw.
