San Francisco quarterback Brock Purdy's delayed surgery could happen next week if the swelling in his injured elbow has been reduced.
Purdy was originally scheduled to undergo the operation last week to repair his throwing elbow that got hurt in the NFC championship game. But Dr. Keith Meister delayed the operation because Purdy's elbow was too swollen.
"I really want to thank Dr. Meister. He called me when he made that decision . That's a tough decision to make but I really appreciate the courage and the conviction to make that decision. It's all about the best outcome. Is it ideal? No, for a variety of reasons — time being No. 1. You want every waking minute that you have. Ultimately he's 22 years old and we want the best outcome.
Lynch said he expected the Niners to know more after the operation but stressed every case is different and the six-month recovery is merely a"guideline." Purdy's injury will give 2021 first-round pick Trey Lance time to work with the first-team offense. Lance began this past season as the starter before a season-ending ankle injury in Week 2."He's doing really well," Lynch said."When I'm in my office I have a nice view of the field. I get reports all the time but my eyes tell me a lot. I watch Trey out there every day, taking drops each day. I don't see a limp.
