The Green Bay Packers ruled out cornerback Jaire Alexander and defensive lineman Edgerrin Cooper and listed defensive lineman Colby Wood as questionable on the final injury report before facing the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12.
How will the injury affect Sunday’s clash?
Here’s a detailed breakdown of the Packers’ final injury report heading into Week 12:
Exit (2)
CB Jaire Alexander (knee): The experienced defender did not train all week and will miss his fourth match of the season. Alexander is dealing with a torn PCL but is not expected to go on injured reserve. Without him, the Packers will play Keisean Nixon, Carrington Valentine and Eric Stokes at cornerback on Sunday.
LB Edgerrin Cooper (hamstring): The rookie linebacker suffered a hamstring injury during Wednesday’s practice and missed practice on Thursday and Friday. He may also be expected to miss next Thursday’s game against the Dolphins. The Packers have Quay Walker, Isaiah McDuffie and Eric Wilson at linebacker.
Doubtful (1)
DL Colby Wood (shoulder): He missed last week’s win over the Chicago Bears but was able to return after confined practice on Wednesday and Thursday and a full practice on Friday. It’s possible the Packers could still make him inactive given the overall health of the team.
No status indication
The following players do not have a status designation and will be available to play Sunday against the 49ers: DL Kenny Clark, RB Josh Jacobs, OL Elgton Jenkins, C Josh Myers, LT Rasheed Walker, S Evan Williams.
49ers injury report
The 49ers ruled out quarterback Brock Purdy (shoulder) and edge rusher Nick Bosa (hip/oblique), giving the Packers a huge advantage in terms of injuries. Brandon Allen will start at quarterback. Without Bosa on the field this season, the 49ers’ pass rush has been well below average. Left guard Trent Williams did not practice all week, but is questionable for the game due to an ankle injury. Cornerback Charvarius Ward (personal reason) will also miss Sunday.
