Pittsburgh Steelers fans will join San Francisco 49ers faithful on Brock Purdy watch this offseason. Coming off a severe elbow surgery in their NFC Championship Game loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, Purdy will begin throwing next week at the team’s OTAs, head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed Tuesday via NFL Network’s Taylor Biscotti.

Purdy tore his UCL early in the game against the 49ers though crucially, he did not need the typical Tommy John surgery, which would’ve guaranteed him to miss the start of the regular season and potentially all of 2023.
