The second-year player hasn't had any setbacks in this rehabilitation, and the 49ers remain hopeful Purdy will be medically cleared in time for the start of the regular season. According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Purdy is headed to Jacksonville for the next phase in his recovery.
"49ers QB Brock Purdy is headed to Jacksonville today to throw the next couple weeks with QB coach Will Hewlett and ortho specialist Tom Gormely — another sign Purdy is progressing through his rehab following elbow surgery and remains on track to be ready for the 2023 season," wrote Pelissero via a tweet.
The 49ers begin training camp late next month. The team is optimistic that Purdy could participate in practices sometime in late August, potentially allowing the quarterback enough time to prepare for Week 1 of the regular season.
"I want to just make sure my mechanics and everything are right," Purdy said in May of his goals in Jacksonville (h/t Cam Inman of the Mercury News). "So, I'll go down, work with them for a couple of weeks, and then get back here."
Trey Lance and Sam Darnold are competing for the QB2 job.
