NFL injury tracker Week 12: Brock Purdy, DeVonta Smith ruled out, Mike Evans ready to return

Sean Leahy

Brock Purdy was ruled out by the San Francisco 49ers for Sunday’s meeting with the Green Bay Packers due to a shoulder injury.

Purdy did not practice on Friday, which made his status uncertain. But head coach Kyle Shanahan officially announced he was out when meeting with reporters after practice. Brandon Allen will start at quarterback versus Green Bay.

Purdy isn’t the only injury the 49ers have to deal with in Week 12. Edge rusher Nick Bosa will also miss the Packers game with hip and oblique issues. Left tackle Trent Williams is questionable with an ankle injury.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith to miss Rams game

The Philadelphia Eagles will be without wide receiver DeVonta Smith for Sunday night’s game against the Los Angeles Rams.

Smith has been dealing with a hamstring injury and did not practice at all this week.

The 26-year-old Smith has only missed two games in his four-year NFL career. He’s played through this hamstring injury this season, but has still put up solid numbers: 41 catches for 516 yards and four touchdowns in nine games.

Mike Evans looking to return vs. Giants

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ offense could get a big boost as wide receiver Mike Evans was a full participant in practice Thursday as he works his way back from a hamstring injury.

Evans has missed the Bucs’ last three games — all losses. At 4-6, and with a soft part of their schedule coming up in the next three weeks with games against the New York Giants, Carolina Panthers and Las Vegas Raiders, his presence on the field will help an offense that put up 145 points in the four games before he went out with injury.

“It hurt to see your team out there fighting in really tough, close games that we could have won,” Evans said. “I wish I could [have been] out there to help them. I’m excited for this week.”

Evans, with 335 receiving yards on the season, is hoping to return as soon as he can as he seeks his 11th straight season with at least 1,000 receiving yards, tying Hall of Famer Jerry Rice’s record. Evans needs 665 receiving yards over the Buccaneers’ final seven games to reach the mark.
