49ers Non-Committal On Brock Purdy's Status For Week 18
2 days agoAccording to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the San Francisco 49ers are non-committal on quarterback Brock Purdy's (elbow) status for Week 18. During Monday evening's loss to the Detroit Lions, Purdy suffered a right-elbow injury late in the game, which caused him to leave early during their final offensive drive. Schefter reported that Purdy is dealing with a nerve-related issue and will undergo further testing on Tuesday. With the team remaining non-committal, it is possible Purdy will not play in their final game on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. Before exiting, Purdy went 27-for-35 with 377 yards, three scores, two interceptions, and an additional 12 yards and a score on the ground. In relief, veteran Joshua Dobbs went 3-for-4 with 35 yards and a seven-yard rushing score on the final drive. Dobbs would likely get the start in Week 18 if Purdy is eventually shut down.
