Purdy was unable to finish Monday night's loss to the Detroit Lions after taking a sack late in the fourth quarter. 'I got hit on the backside and basically just my arm was on fire kind of thing,' he said. 'I tried throwing a couple on the sideline and I couldn't at that point.' This incident raised alarms given Purdy's recent injury history, but it appears the damage is limited to a bruise and inflammation.
Testing shows that Purdy has a right elbow bruise with some nerve inflammation, Shanahan said. While there was initial concern due to Purdy's previous UCL tear suffered in January 2023, he confirmed there was no significant damage to the ligament, which brought some relief to the team ahead of their important matchup.
