There’s little doubt which team’s injury report is the favorable one entering Sunday night’s showdown between the Green Bay Packers and San Francisco 49ers.
While the Packers listed only two players as questionable and ruled out backup lineman Cole Madison on Friday’s injury report, the 49ers have seven important players with injury designations, including two starters ruled out and two others listed as doubtful.
The Packers are mostly healthy entering Week 12. Tight end Robert Tonyan (hip) and fullback Danny Vitale (knee) are listed as questionable, but both are expected to play. Madison tore his ACL during Thursday’s practice and will eventually go on injured reserve.
The 49ers have some major question marks.
Edge rusher Dee Ford and left tackle Joe Staley are both out. Running back Matt Breida and kicker Robbie Gould are doubtful, and tight end George Kittle and receivers Emmanuel Sanders and Deebo Samuel are questionable.
Sixth-round pick Justin Skule will start at left tackle for Staley. Tevin Coleman would likely start at running back if Breida is out, and rookie Chase McLaughlin would be the kicker if Gould can’t go.
Ford, who the 49ers added via trade this offseason, has 6.5 sacks this season.
