Brock Purdy leaves ‘MNF’ game with arm ‘on fire’ with memories of injury nightmare still fresh
NY Post
There could be another 49ers star down for the count this season.
Quarterback Brock Purdy is set to undergo testing Tuesday after exiting the 49ers’ 40-34 loss to the Lions on “Monday Night Football” following an injury to his right elbow late in the fourth quarter.
“I got hit on the backside and basically just my arm was on fire kind of thing,” Purdy said postgame, according to ESPN. “I tried throwing a couple on the sideline and I couldn’t at that point.”
The third-year quarterback, who is roughly two years removed from a UCL tear sustained in San Francisco’s NFC Championship loss to Philadelphia, quelled fears it could be a similar injury.
“We did some tests with UCL stuff, and I’m good in that regard,” said Purdy, who went 27-for-35 for 377 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions.
“But we’ve just got to go get imaging on it tomorrow and see the whole thing.”
