Brock Purdy stepped into the huddle with the first-team offense on the second day of training camp practice for the San Francisco 49ers and it was a major milestone coming less than six months since he tore a ligament in his throwing elbow.
SANTA CLARA -- When Brock Purdy tore the ligament in his throwing elbow less than six months ago in an NFC title game loss, there was uncertainty about whether he'd back in time for the start of the 2023 season.
The months of grueling rehab paid off for Purdy as his arm strength looked similar to what it was before the injury. But he knows it will still take time to get back into rhythm after not taking part in the offseason program. After getting only a couple of reps each practice period last year as a third-stringer, Purdy began this camp with the first-team offense. He won't practice more than two straight days to begin camp as he builds up arm strength but should be on a normal practice plan in a couple of weeks, according to coach Kyle Shanahan.
"Honestly, they gave me a plan, we all sat down, had a plan, and we just stuck to it," Purdy said."It was just get better every single day. Once we start throwing, here's the set of throws we've got, here's the amount of volume, here's the intensity, and then just work your way up, see how you feel after every throwing session, and then just go from there."
