Quarterback Brock Purdy has cleared a major hurdle in his quest to be the 49ers’ Week 1 starter.
Purdy’s progress is a signal he is on pace to take the field Sunday, Sept. 10, when the 49ers open the regular season against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The 49ers finished the regular season with six victories after Purdy replaced injured Garoppolo in the first quarter of the team’s Week 13 game against the Miami Dolphins. He did not slow down in the postseason, either. Purdy completed 41 of 63 pass attempts for 569 yards, three touchdowns, no interceptions and a passer rating of 109.8. The 49ers beat Seattle and Dallas in the playoffs before losing to the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship Game.
Purdy originally was scheduled to undergo surgery on Feb. 22, but Texas Rangers orthopedic surgeon Dr. Keith Meister decided to postpone the procedure to allow inflammation in his elbow to subside.
