Maybe they're doing therapy to see if it will heal on it's own like Conor McDavid & his PCL a few years ago.

I'm not even kidding.

No. They are hoping the inflammation goes down enough that the ligament can be repaired, and he can avoid a ligament replacement (Tommy John).

I keep saying that the six month return projection is highly optimistic, and they won't know if he can avoid Tommy John until they open up his elbow and evaluate the ligament.

The timeline has been more consistent with a ligament that is irreparable, and this just adds to the evidence. Niner fans just don't want to hear it.

Nick Mullens avoided Tommy John surgery on elbow

When 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens was shut down for the season with an elbow injury, there was word that he might need to have Tommy John surgery to repair it.

Nick Mullens tore his ucl around dec 19 2020 And had surgery that month meaning up to 12 days later. Brock’s elbow cant Be operated on for at least six weeks.

I'd feel really bad for him if this is career ending. To finish college, get drafted (barely), make it onto the regular season roster, actually start games and win....you've got to be thinking the cards are lining up to make you a millionaire in a couple of years. It'd be a shame to get this far and then be done.

I've been saying since the announcement that 6 months was not gonna happen & is surely not gonna happen now. If they can't control the swelling with today's technology, this is very concerning.

Will the 49ers try to get Tom Brady to end his second annual retirement?

When Tom Brady retired for the second straight February 1, he said it's for good.

Idk about Brady, but everyones Been claboring for a high end vet backup since. More a Brissett or Minchew than someone at Vet minimum.

Not likely, but it is kinda weird that he‘s not joining Fox until 2024.

As much as I didn’t like he was good. I also hope he gets to continue to play. Amazing story. And he is a for fearing man which lacks in the NFL. Well ones that are open about it. Usually they get mocked.

But really. I hope he gets to play again. Even if he is on the 49ers.
