San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy did not practice Friday, leaving his status for the Week 12 matchup against the Green Bay Packers uncertain.
While the 49ers have yet to make an official announcement, the NFL has listed Purdy as out on your injury report. He was previously listed as questionable, but has apparently been downgraded.
Right shoulder soreness limited Purdy in practices Wednesday and Thursday, and he did not participate in the team’s final practice session before traveling to Green Bay.

General manager John Lynch told KNBR on Friday that Purdy underwent an MRI and described his status for Sunday as “subdued.”
“Hopefully he progresses and we can have a chance this weekend, but we’ll see,” Lynch said. “I think it’s tenuous.”
At Thursday’s practice, Purdy’s participation consisted of soft throws while San Francisco’s other three quarterbacks went through drills with quarterbacks coach Brian Griese. Purdy stopped after about five minutes, trainers worked on his shoulder and he returned to the locker room, according to reporters at the scene.
Purdy was hit in the right shoulder during last week’s 20-17 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. He finished the game, but did not make a throw more than 10 yards after the hit. There was no indication afterward that Purdy was injured.
If Purdy can’t play Sunday, Brandon Allen will likely start at quarterback for San Francisco with Joshua Dobbs backing him up.
Additionally, defensive end Nick Bosa is listed as off the injury report due to hip and oblique issues. Bosa suffered the injury in practice on November 6 and played through the injury in the Week 10 matchup against Tampa Bay.
He left last week’s matchup against the Seahawks in the third quarter and did not return. After the match, Bosa told reporters that hurt his oblique while compensating for the hip injury.
