Brock Purdy "Right On Pace" In Recovery
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that quarterback Brock Purdy (elbow) is "right on pace" with his recovery from tightrope surgery on the torn UCL in his right elbow. Purdy is now throwing three times a week, and the Niners are hoping he'll be cleared for training camp at the end of July. The 23-year-old second-year signal-caller was present for the first day of mandatory minicamp on Tuesday, and although he didn't throw, he was seen running on a side field. In the meantime, Trey Lance and Sam Darnold will split first-team repetitions under center, but if Purdy is ready to go for Week 1 of the regular season as expected, he is the 49ers' starting QB after an impressive rookie season. Until Purdy shows us more, though, he'll be considered a low-end QB2 in fantasy.

San Francisco 49ers Brock PurdySigns Pointing To Brock Purdy Being Ready For Week 1
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (elbow), who has gone through his first week of throwing a football, is the clear favorite to open the 2023 season as the team's starting quarterback. Purdy had surgery to fix a torn UCL in his right elbow on March 10. If he is ready to play football when the season kicks off, the starting job will be his to lose after a strong rookie season. If his road to a full recovery stays true to his 12-week timeline, Purdy should receive full medical clearance to play around Aug. 21, 20 days before the start of the season. In 2022, the 23-year-old completed 67.4% of his passes for 1,877 yards with 16 TDs and three interceptions, including the playoffs. Purdy definitely impressed last year, but fantasy managers should want to see more before considering him as anything more than a low-end QB2 in superflex leagues, especially coming off significant surgery.

Brock Purdy did end up beating early post-surgery projections. The second-year quarterback’s previously reported plan to throw this week is a go, and John Lynch said no setbacks emerged after the session. The 49ers will still be, understandably, proceeding cautiously with last year’s third-stringer-turned-starter. But Lynch said during a Sirius XM Radio appearance the team […]
Jun 1 · Pro Football Rumors San Francisco 49ers Sam Darnold Trey Lance Brock Purdy49ers "Incredibly Encouraged" By Brock Purdy's Progress
San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch said "the early returns are good" and that the 49ers are "incredibly encouraged" by quarterback Brock Purdy's (elbow) recovery after he had surgery to fix a torn UCL in his right elbow around three months ago. Purdy resumed throwing this week, and the team is hoping he will be ready for training camp and the regular season. In the meantime, Trey Lance has taken the first-team repetitions in offseason practices. Although Purdy seems to be on track in his recovery, Lynch said they will not rush him back to the lineup. There's still a chance he isn't fully cleared to play in Week 1 of the regular season, but when he's got the green light, Purdy will be San Fran's starter under center in 2023 after he thoroughly impressed in his rookie season in 2022.

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that quarterback Brock Purdy (elbow) will be allowed to start throwing sometime next week. Purdy had surgery to fix a torn UCL in his right arm, and he remains on track to be ready for Week 1 of the 2023 regular season, barring any setbacks along the way. With Purdy out, Trey Lance and Sam Darnold are expected to split first-team repetitions in offseason workouts, but unless Purdy suffers a setback, he's fully expected to open the year as the starter under center after impressing in his rookie season in 2022. The 23-year-old played in nine regular season games (five starts) and completed 67.1% of his passes for 1,374 yards, 13 TDs and only four picks. Purdy should only be taken in two-QB superflex fantasy leagues.
May 23 · Source via San Francisco 49ers Brock Purdy49ers Think Highly Of All Three Quarterbacks
The San Francisco 49ers are extremely happy with all three of their quarterbacks -- Brock Purdy (elbow, Trey Lance and Sam Darnold -- heading into the 2023 season. "I do believe we have three quarterbacks talent-wise who are all capable of being franchise-like quarterbacks. But that's just capable. Brock's done that in his eight. And we have two other guys on our roster who we strongly believe can do that also." Purdy is expected to be ready for training camp this summer after having surgery on the UCL in his right elbow this offseason, and if fully healthy, he's expected to start under center in Week 1. Given San Fran's love for Darnold, there's a chance they trade Lance this summer to another QB-needy team. Lance's dynasty/keeper stock has fallen precipitously in the last year.

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that barring any setbacks, quarterback Brock Purdy (elbow) is expected to be back by training camp at the end of July. Purdy has already been making throwing motions with a towel, and he's expected to begin throwing a football again in June. The Niners have already said that the 23-year-old is the favorite to be the team's starter under center in 2023 if he's ready after having surgery to fix the right UCL in his throwing elbow after the season. It's one of the reasons why there have been so many Trey Lance trade rumors this offseason. Purdy led San Fran deep into the postseason and completed 67.1% of his passes for 1,374 yards, 13 touchdowns and four picks in nine games (five starts) during the regular season. He'll be a QB2 with upside in fantasy in his sophomore season.
