49ers HC Provides Unfortunate Update on Brock Purdy’s Significant Injury

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy left the team’s 40-34 Monday Night Football loss to the Detroit Lions after suffering an apparent arm injury late in the fourth quarter.

With the 49ers down 12 points and less than two minutes to go, Purdy was sacked by Lions safety Brian Branch. Purdy appeared to fall on his wrist, and went to the sideline to be looked at. The ESPN telecast showed Purdy attempting to throw the ball, and then shaking his head making it clear he couldn’t go back into the game.

After the game, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan provided an update on his quarterback.

Shanahan said Purdy is dealing with a right elbow injury. He said he thinks a nerve struck in the elbow and Purdy lost feeling in his arm. This is the same elbow in which he suffered a major injury two years ago in the NFC Championship Game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Purdy had to undergo Tommy John Surgery to fix it.
