49ers quarterback Brock Purdy was supposed to have surgery on Feb. 22 to either repair or reconstruct his torn UCL. The day before his surgery, news broke that his procedure would be delayed until at least early May. General manager John Lynch on Tuesday provided some clarity on that decision-making process.
While the 49ers would like to have Purdy back as quickly as possible, Lynch from the NFL combine said the long-term view was important when considering all options with the elbow surgery. He also indicated Purdy’s surgery would happen during the first week of March.
