Advice from Dr. Jeff Dugas, the orthopedic surgeon who performed the same UCL repair surgery on former Niners QB Nick Mullens.
Makes sense to me.
That's easy to say when you're not fighting for your professional life, but it's good advice. This doctor did also say he dragged out mullens recovery because they had extra time because of when it happened during the season.
Agree, so there is possibility that Lance or Darnold replaces him. I believe there is and think Purdy will be put on some kind of short term IR to start the season.
Won't know until the end of training camp, most likely. My gut tells me that Purdy won't not play if he feels good enough.
it'll be key to follow up with his progress in about 6 weeks. That'll tell us if he's got back the mobility/flexibility in his arm. If that goes well, then he has a shot at being 100% per the reports.
I'm just glad he's still super young and doesn't have a lot of miles on his tissue in that area. He's had about as ideal of a surgery that you can hope for in this situation, up to this point.
