Anytime a San Francisco 49ers fan hears that Brock Purdy has a right elbow injury, there’s an immediate cause for concern — especially after the quarterback said his elbow felt like it was “on fire” after Monday’s loss to the Lions. But based on an initial report Tuesday, the 49ers can breathe a sigh of relief.
Purdy left Monday’s game a few plays early with what coach Kyle Shanahan called “nerve stuff” in the postgame press conference. NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero said Tuesday that Purdy’s right elbow injury is not as problematic as initially feared.
