Brock Purdy returned to the NFC Championship Game in the third quarter despite sustaining a right elbow injury in the first quarter against the Philadelphia Eagles.

While Johnson was on the field for the 49ers' remaining first-half drives, Purdy was on the sideline attempting to throw a football.

The 49ers' first two offensive drives with Johnson under center ended in punts, but the Eagles weren't able to add to their early 7-0 lead. San Francisco managed to tie the game on Johnson's third series in large part to running back Christian McCaffrey, who had 44 total yards on the drive, capped off by a 23-yard touchdown run.

Purdy's rise from Mr. Irrelevant to 49ers starting quarterback has been one of the best stories of the 2022 NFL season, but there's a chance there might not be a happy ending depending on the severity of his elbow injury.The 49ers have had 4 QBs play for them this season.
