The best story in the NFL ended on the San Francisco 49ers' first drive of the NFC title game when Brock Purdy tore his UCL in his elbow.
The Brock Purdy buzz of having him return home to play in the Super Bowl ended on the San Francisco 49ers' first drive in Sunday's NFL title game.
Former Cardinal Haasan Reddick of the Philadelphia Eagles hit Purdy's right arm as he was trying to throw a pass. It was ruled a fumble. The Eagles recovered. And Purdy's storybook rookie season was over. He returned in the second half only after fourth-string quarterback Josh Johnson was knocked out of the game with a concussion.
With a completely torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow, Purdy could only hand off to Christian McCaffrey and threw two short passes the rest of the way in a 31-7 loss that sends the Eagles to Glendale next week for Super Bowl 57 to take on the Kansas City Chiefs. An MRI on Monday reportedly revealed that Purdy suffered a complete tear of the UCL. Early reports have him out for six months. But if it requires Tommy John surgery, that could be a lengthy rehab that could jeopardize his 2023 season, depending on how fast he heals.
Purdy told reporters he is seeking more tests. If the surgery is more of a repair and not reconstructive elbow surgery, then Purdy could be back in six months.
