The athlete is aware that some people may have questioned his viewpoint and his desire to participate; for them, Brock clarified his intention by saying, “I love to compete.” Purdy has been collaborating closely with the team’s medical staff and is optimistic and committed to his rehabilitation despite the uncertainty surrounding his recovery timeline.

Other than that, man, I love my teammates. I love to compete, and I’m going to do whatever it takes to help this organization win. And that’s how I’m looking at it. And nothing more than that.”

With a UCL repair, Purdy’s expected recovery timeline is six months. According to the report of the 49ers, the 23-year-old will spend the first three months simply recovering from the procedure, and in the following three months, he should be able to start throwing the football.
