He had surgery to repair the UCL on March 10. Thus, Purdy still hasn't lost an NFL game he finished. Star running back Christian McCaffrey essentially closed the game as the QB. Purdy actually came back in for a spell once Johnson was injured, but the rookie could not throw the ball. Backup Josh Johnson was overwhelmed and eventually got hurt himself.
The game was essentially over at that point. Purdy relieved Garoppolo and led a win over Miami, and then went 7-0 as the starter, including playoff wins over Seattle and Dallas, before suffering a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his throwing elbow in the first quarter of the 31-7 NFC Championship Game loss to the Eagles. Lance suffered a season-ending injury in Week 2, and Garoppolo was hurt in Week 13. Purdy, who holds several records at Iowa State, was third on the QB depth chart at best entering 2022 training camp behind Lance and Garoppolo. Purdy has been officially cleared, though, and will have his first full training camp practice Thursday. After being forced into action following injuries to Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo, Purdy had one of the most unexpectedly successful rookie seasons in league history before suffering a serious injury of his own in the NFC title game loss in Philadelphia. Many NFL fans who don't follow Iowa State football very closely had little to no idea who San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy was as the final pick of the 2022 draft and a longshot to make the Niners' roster.
