Brock Purdy and the San Francisco 49ers were desperately trying to get themselves a win on Sunday. However, their hopes were not answered. In the end, they lost by an embarrassing score of 31-7. Overall, it knocked them out of the playoffs as the Eagles are now off to the Super Bowl.
Purdy was hit in the elbow in the first half and could no longer throw the ball. Subsequently, Josh Johnson came in and eventually got hit in the head. From there, Purdy had to come back in, but couldn't even throw the ball. Needless to say, it was a disaster for everyone.
Brock Purdy Diagnosis
Following the injury, Purdy was evaluated by doctors. Following the evaluation, it was revealed that Purdy has a torn UCL. Consequently, he will now have to be out for a grand total of six months. Furthermore, he may even have to get surgery to repair the damage.
According to Adam Schefter, Purdy is seeking a second opinion on the matter. The 49ers want him to get the surgery, although it looks like Purdy wants an independent doctor. Either way, this is bad news for the quarterback.
Purdy was a great story this season as he came in and went undefeated up until the NFC Championship game. There was this sense that he could go from the last pick in the draft to Super Bowl champion in less than a year. However, he will have to wait until next year to get another chance.
