49ers fans can exhale now that last season's star, Brock Purdy, is on track to be back by Week 1.
" he'd referred to last month, in which his UCL was reconstructed with an internal brace.
Though the elbow injury happened during the NFC championship game Jan. 29, the procedure had to be delayed due to complications with Purdy's elbow. The last announced delayThe timing of this surgery does put Purdy on track to be ready by Week 1, though the level of his readiness will depend on how much practice time he gets. More salient is the fact that it helps the Niners' offseason plans dramatically.
Despite being the last pick of the draft, and San Francisco's original third-stringer, Purdy showed he was more than capable of leading the 49ers to glory, winning eight straight games as the team's starter. While there's no guarantee the Niners would have beaten the Eagles in the NFC Championship with Purdy at 100%, his presence could have at least kept things more competitive.
