True , no reports of ulnar nerve damage, but with an UCL tear, you have to consider that the ulnar nerve was subjected to the same grossly unnatural force that tore the UCL. No idea if ulnar nerve was torn but GTD it was severely stressed. The fact he was able to throw a tiny bit means the ulnar nerve, even tho traumatized, is still working, and that is a positive sign. The UCL tear, tho, has to be fixed, but the internal artificial ligament procedure, would mean a lot less time off than TJ repair. Remember the snapping of the wrist/ elbow is inherent in pitching but not in throwing a football. The artificial ligament gives him protection at the elbow and isn't subjected to the similar forces a pitcher's elbow requires.

Only question is , no matter which surgery is done, how does Brock's elbow function post op? The old dictum, "no surgery makes things better than they were originally" is key here, but the good news is that for TJ surgery , in-game forces are not the same for pitchers vs Brock's situation. Brock has no need to rotate/snap his wrist/ elbow to throw a ball. That is the best thing i can see thru all this.

As for the ulnar nerve, it can always be moved…or transposed, if you will. I had that done over 25 yrs ago and they just move the nerve from where it was in ulnar notch to mid forearm. Makes no difference in function and protects it. So he should be okay nerve wise , even tho ulnar nerve got traumatized also.

Brock Purdy weighing options on his elbow, hopes to make a decision soon - ProFootballTalk (nbcsports.com)

"I still have some options to weigh and will make a final decision soon," Purdy said Tuesday, via video from Cam Inman of the San Jose Mercury News.

"I've heard multiple things," Purdy said. "I think in that scenario that would be six months ready to go. I think in that scenario they said after three months, you can start throwing and getting into a throwing program and getting into a routine. I think six months would be like when you're allowed to just go and practice and be part of everything. That's a scenario, but I definitely have some other options, too. So definitely going to go through these MRI scans and make a decision, hopefully soon."

This is still BCB's team, I'm confident he'll make a full recovery and be back better than ever.

I heard Brock say he was looking for another opinion and that he wasn't sure which surgery he would have or whether he would just let it heal on it's own.Of it's completely torn as the reports say, how can it heal on it's own? Is Brock just being optimistic?

I don't think he starts the season as qb1...but he could take it back if he's healthy and trey struggles

He's in the denial phase. Let's give the man a couple of days to process what happened to him.
