Brock Purdy set for urgent MRI scan after taking worrying hit to his surgically-repaired elbow Brock Purdy is heading for an urgent MRI scan after hurting his surgically repaired throwing elbow late in the loss to the Detroit Lions on Monday night.
Joshua Dobbs replaced Purdy and led a touchdown drive to close out the loss, which left the Niners (6-10) assured of finishing in last place in the NFC West after making it to the Super Bowl last season.
Purdy said initial tests showed no damage to the ulnar collateral ligament he hurt in a 2022 NFC title-game loss at Philadelphia, and he hopes to play the season finale on Sunday.
Purdy is sacked by Brian Branch late in the game, and he went for immediate tests on his elbow.
Purdy rolled over as he fell to the ground and his right elbow went right into the face mask of defensive lineman Pat O'Connor.
