How long Brock Purdy will be out with the San Francisco 49ers?

Brock Purdy injured his right elbow during the NFC Championship Game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Philadelphia Eagles. The hit in the first quarter left him with no chances to throw the ball for the remainder of the game and, in some part of it, Josh Johnson came in as backup.

So, Brock Purdy finally got surgery after the tear on hisulnar collateral ligament and the teamconfirmed a first possible timetable for recovery. “San Francisco 49ers quarterbackBrock Purdyunderwent successful surgery with renowned specialist Dr. Keith Meister this morning. Dr. Meister conducted an internal brace repair to Purdy’s right elbow. Purdy is anticipated to start a throwing progression program in three months.”

However, the three months are just to start throwing. A full-recovery process will definitely take longer and that’s why the first estimate is around six months to be back. The bright side of the story is that the procedure could have ended with a worse diagnosis. The scenario of missing the entire 2023 season was real, but, that won’t happen. He could be ready in September.
