According to the NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport report, Purdy will meet with Dr. Keith Meister in Dallas on Feb. 21 and will most probably have surgery to repair his torn UCL on the 22nd.
The final pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, Purdy sustained the injury early in the NFC Championship Game loss to the Philadelphia Eagles when his arm was hit attempting to pass.
Following backup Josh Johnson’s concussion, Purdy returned to the lineup but couldn’t throw effectively, leading to the blowout loss that ended the Niners’ season.
The Niners anticipated a six-month rehab recovery after Purdy suffered the UCL injury.
Purdy showed potential in Kyle Shanahan’s scheme, winning his first seven starts, including two playoff games, before suffering the injury.
