Brock Purdy Expected To Be Ready By The Start Of The Season
2 years agoSan Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (elbow) is expected to be around 100% by the start of the 2023 regular season, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. Purdy tore his right ulnar collateral ligament in last year's NFC Championship game against the Philadelphia Eagles and had the ligament surgically repaired this offseason. With Purdy sidelined, Trey Lance has been getting all of the first-team reps during OTAs. Despite Lance's recent run with the first team, many close to the team believe that Purdy is the 49ers' QB1. That means that Purdy, and not Lance, could be starting under center in Week 1 provided he doesn't suffer any setbacks in the meantime.
