"Obviously, I'm thankful to be able to have healed up from the injury, go to the Super Bowl and have three more seasons after what had happened there, Purdy said Thursday. But more than anything, it's our 2025 season and trying to finish strong and go in and compete against a new team. This 49ers season, regardless of how many wins or losses or injuries, figured to put scrutiny on Purdy's earning power courtesy of a May extension for five years and $265 million."
"And his surgically repaired elbow became a distant afterthought once he sustained a turf-toe injury in the season-opening win at Seattle. It sidelined him for the next two games and clearly impacted his mechanics when he rushed back in Week 4 against Jacksonville, resulting in a six-game hiatus afterward. Earlier in the year, with his toe, there were some things that affected him, more of his lower body, offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak said of Purdy's arm."
Brock Purdy recovered from a shredded elbow ligament and a season-opening turf-toe that sidelined him multiple games and affected his mechanics. The turf-toe forced him to miss two games and contributed to a six-game absence after he rushed back. Despite injuries, Purdy matched his career-best completion percentage (69.4) and a 7.0% touchdown rate, reduced sacks to 11 (3.7% of dropbacks), and threw 20 touchdown passes against 10 interceptions. A five-year, $265 million extension increased scrutiny of his earning power. The wild-card matchup against the Eagles could hinge on his arm, mobility, and intangibles.
