Brock Purdy’s incredible late-season surge came to a disappointing end Sunday as the former Iowa State quarterback was injured early in the San Francisco 49ers’ 31-7 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC title game.
Purdy suffered an elbow injury on San Francisco’s opening drive and had to leave the game. He finished just 4-for-4 passing for 23 yards, and returned late only after backup quarterback Josh Johnson suffered a concussion in the third quarter. By that point, though, Purdy could barely throw the ball farther than a few yards.
The loss was a microcosm of the 49ers’ season-long quarterback situation, which saw San Francisco turn to Purdy after Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo suffered season-ending injuries earlier in the year.

Even with the limited action, plenty of chatter regarding Purdy and his future began following the loss. Here is what the NFL media are saying about the rookie quarterback.
According to ESPN: “Purdy is seeking second medical opinions about whether he needs surgery, which the 49ers are recommending, the source told (reporter Adam) Schefter. The injury is expected to sideline Purdy for six months regardless of his decision on surgery, the source told Schefter.”
