What to know from Packers’ first injury report of Week 12 vs. 49ers

The Green Bay Packers released the team’s first injury report of Week 12 on Wednesday. The team will release two more injury reports, including a final injury report on Friday with official playing status designations before Sunday’s showdown with the San Francisco 49ers.

Here’s everything to know from the Packers’ first injury report of Week 12:

Who didn’t participate?

Only cornerback Jaire Alexander, who exited Sunday’s win over the Bears with a lingering knee injury. Coach Matt LaFleur said the Packers would give Alexander the week to see if he can get physically ready to play, but exiting Sunday and not participating Wednesday isn’t a good sign for his potential availability this week. Rookie running back MarShawn Lloyd did not participate Wednesday, but he was placed on the non-football illness list after needing an appendectomy.

Who returned to practice?

Defensive lineman Colby Wooden, who missed last week’s win with a shoulder injury, returned to practice in a limited capacity.

How is Jordan Love?

Officially healed. The Packers are no longer listing Love on the injury report. He practiced fully last week and looked more mobile and healthier overall in the win over the Bears.

Any new injuries to know?

Linebacker Edgerrin Cooper was limited Wednesday with a new hamstring injury, while running back Josh Jacobs added a calf injury and was also limited.

Who is still limited with injuries?

Jacobs (quad), defensive lineman Kenny Clark (toe), center Josh Myers (wrist), left tackle Rasheed Walker (knee) and safety Evan Williams (hamstring) were all limited on Wednesday with previous injuries. All five players played through the issues against the Bears last Sunday.

Who is no longer on the injury report?

Edge rusher Kingsley Enagbare is no longer listed. He had an elbow injury last week but practiced fully and had no restrictions against the Bears. Love was also removed, as noted above.

What’s to know from 49ers injury report?

The 49ers listed five players as non-participants on Wednesday, including defensive end Nick Bosa, who has hip and oblique injuries. That’s the one to watch for Packers fans. Bosa is a game-wrecker. Running back Christian McCaffrey got rest and left tackle Trent Williams didn’t practice with an ankle injury. Tight end George Kittle returned to practice in a limited capacity after missing last week with a hamstring injury — he’s convinced he’ll play Sunday. Quarterback Brock Purdy was limited with right shoulder soreness.
