Quarterback Brock Purdy's Season Likely Over Due to Elbow Injury

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is expected to miss the final game of the 2024 season due to an elbow injury. Coach Kyle Shanahan revealed this during a Tuesday conference call. Purdy suffered the injury during a Monday night game against the Lions. An MRI was conducted to assess the damage. Shanahan described the injury as a bruise with nerve irritation. Purdy had surgery on his right elbow after a similar injury during his rookie season in the NFC Championship Game. However, Shanahan assured that this latest injury doesn't pose long-term concerns. Purdy will be eligible to sign a contract extension this offseason, although he is still under contract for the 2025 season. A key question for the team in the coming months will be how they handle negotiations with the quarterback regarding a new deal.
