Brock Purdy will not undergo surgery on his right elbow as planned. Purdy tore the UCL in his throwing elbow on the 49ers first possession of the NFC championship game against Philadelphia on January 29.
According to Tom Peliserro of NFL Network, Purdy met with Texas Rangers team physician Keith Meister on Tuesday as scheduled. Meister recommended postponing the surgery due to continued inflammation.
The parties will get back together in early March, with all signs pointing to the insertion of an internal brace to repair the UCL. This procedure has a six-month recovery period; however Purdy should be able to begin throwing around the three-month mark.
