San Francisco 49ers Injury Report
"Jimmy Garoppolo's shoulder & torn thumb are something to watch heading into this weekend.. Fred Warner will be playing on Saturday" ~@RapSheet
#PatMcAfeeShowLIVE #FTTB https://t.co/HxVCDFEvQ6
Despite his right shoulder and right thumb injury, Garoppolo should get the nod for this matchup, as is the case for Bosa, Warner and Mitchell. Bosa leads the team in sacks with 15.5 and Warner in tackles with 137. Mitchell averages 87.5 yards rushing per game, the fourth most in the NFL.
Green Bay Packers Injury Report
The Packers have activated OLB Za'Darius Smith off of injured reserve. He and star CB Jaire Alexander (who's listed as questionable) haven't played since September. So here come Green Bay's two best defensive players.
And David Bakhtiari, too.
Although it looks doubtful that Valdes-Scantling will be available, the Packers could have their All-Pro left tackle Bakhtiari and Pro Bowl cornerback Alexander back in the lineup.
