    NFL Injury Tracker Week 12: Brock Purdy has MRI on right shoulder, Mike Evans set to return, DeVonta Smith out

    Vaseline Posted on

    Brock Purdy didn’t throw a pass during Wednesday’s practice for the San Francisco 49ers. On Thursday he left training early and did not speak to the media. That’s a concern ahead of Sunday’s game with the Green Bay Packers.

    Purdy was limited in practice Thursday and underwent an MRI on his right shoulder on Friday.

    “Hopefully he makes progress and we can give it a try this weekend, but we’ll see,” general manager John Lynch told KNBR on Friday. “I think it’s weak.”

    Brandon Allen or Joshua Dobbs would get the start if Purdy can’t go as the 49ers look to improve on their 5-5 record.

    “We feel good about where things are from that perspective,” Lynch said. “But you still have to be able to go out and operate. And so we’re figuring all that out. Brock will be here today, and we’ll see where he can go in terms of practice, and we’ll make some decisions accordingly. Brandon Allen and Josh Dobbs would both be ready, but Brandon would take the first snaps.”

    Not only are the 49ers waiting on Purdy, they may also have to make decisions on left tackle Trent Williams (ankle) and edge rusher Nick Bosa (hip/oblique). Both are nursing injuries and neither has practiced this week.

    The Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense could get a big boost as wide receiver Mike Evans was a full participant in practice on 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 portion of their schedule over the next three weeks featuring 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 dropping out with an injury.

    “It hurt to see your team fight in really tough, close games that we could have won,” Evans said. “I wish I could (be) there to help them. I’m excited for this week.”

    Evans, with 335 receiving yards this season, hopes to return as soon as possible as he pursues his 11th straight season with at least 1,000 receiving yards, tying Hall of Famer Jerry Rice’s record. Evans needs 665 receiving yards in the Buccaneers’ last seven games to reach the mark.

    The Philadelphia Eagles will be without wide receiver DeVonta Smith on Sunday evening against the Los Angeles Rams.

    Smith is dealing with a hamstring injury and has not trained at all this week.

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