Brock Purdy will undergo surgery to repair the torn UCL in his right throwing elbow on Friday in Dallas, a source told NBC Sports Bay Area.
Lynch and the 49ers understand the need to focus on Purdy's long-term health, even though the six-month recovery timeframe currently sits at the second week of September. Week 1 of the 2023 NFL season kicks off on Sept. 7.
Typically, the six-month recovery from a UCL repair is broken up into two time periods. The first three months is spent simply recovering from the procedure while minimizing swelling and inflammation. In the final three months, Purdy should be able to start throwing the football, with full recovery expected at the end of six months.
Third-year quarterback Trey Lance is set to take all first-team reps through the offseason after recovering from a second procedure to remove hardware from the right ankle he injured in Week 2 of the 2022 NFL season.With training camp set to begin at the end of July, the club will need to add depth to their quarterbacks room in free agency or in the draft, but Lynch recently shared he is happy with both of their young play-callers.
“We love the two guys we have,” Lynch said on the latest"49ers Talk" podcast. “Might we look elsewhere? Sure, because I think that’s just good business.”
