The San Francisco 49ers are dealing with yet another quarterback injury.
Rookie QB Brock Purdy suffered a right elbow injury on the Niners’ first offensive drive of the NFC Championship Game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Purdy sustained the injury on a sack-fumble when Eagles edge rusher Haason Reddick hit him.
Purdy is officially questionable with the right elbow injury. He was 2-of-2 passing for 19 yards and the fumble.
Veteran Josh Johnson took over under center for the Niners, trailing 7-0.
Purdy, the final pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, took over after Jimmy Garoppolo suffered an injury in Week 13. The rookie went 7-0 in starts, including two postseason victories to lift the Niners to the NFC Championship Game.
