The San Francisco 49ers have provided an update on the status of Brock Purdy following his injury.
The 23-year-old sustained an elbow problem during the NFL NFC Championship game against the Philadelphia Eagles in January. The quarterback was diagnosed with a complete tear of his ulnar collateral ligament, which rendered him unable to throw the ball for more than 10 yards.
Since undergoing surgery he has been steadily working his way back to full fitness ahead of the new season. 49ers’ General Manager John Lynch has been impressed with Purdy’s progress and was able to offer some positive news after he began to throw the ball again last week.
