Trey Lance, Brock Purdy not aware nor obsessing over 49ers’ 2023 plan
SANTA CLARA — Trey Lance stood at his locker on one side of the 49ers’ locker room, speaking for the first time to reporters since a Sept. 18 fracture to his right foot, which remains in an orthopedic boot.
Coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch will address the media Wednesday. But Shanahan caught up with a melancholy Purdy on Tuesday. The recovery from a torn ulnar collateral ligament figures to take at least six months. It’s essentially the most optimistic opinion Purdy has received. A full reconstruction of his UCL has not been ruled out, and that scenario could keep him out for a year.
Purdy spoke as if he’ll be back playing in 2023, after already stunning the NFL world the past two months. Quick refresher: He was the last player drafted in 2022, then “Mr. Irrelevant” relieved an injured Jimmy Garoppolo on Dec. 4, against the Miami Dolphins. Purdy went on to post eight wins in riveting, high-scoring fashion before a hit by Hasson Reddick left Purdy unable to throw downfield Sunday with a Super Bowl berth on the line.
Monday’s MRI revealed a torn UCL, and follow-up tests were upcoming Tuesday for Purdy, who was the last player in the locker room after the media’s hour-long access. Purdy wore an olive green compression sleeve on his right elbow.
