“I felt like my arm was stretched,” Purdy said. By Pro Football Talk. “Actually, I felt several shocks from my elbow to my wrist – front and back. Pain, really, all over.”
Purdy was hit on the arm by pass rusher Hassan Reddick as he attempted a pass, and fumbled away from possession. Although Purdy wasn’t injured enough to be “out,” he attempted just two passes in the second half after returning to the game following Johnson’s injury.
“I threw after I got hit on the side to see where I was. But even on those throws it was painful,” Purdy said. “So, I couldn’t throw anything more than 10 yards, 5 yards. That’s why we had some screens. That was our only option when I went in.”
