Updates, highlights

Trent Williams inactive: Not only will the 49ers not have Brock Purdy, Nick Bosa and Charvarius Ward, but Trent Williams is inactive. Talk about short-handed. The 49ers won’t have their quarterback, left tackle, top edge rusher or top corner. The Packers made Kitan Oladapo and Jacob Monk inactive as healthy scratches. Jaire Alexander and Edgerrin Cooper are both out.

Packers open with TD: The Packers got 39 rushing yards from Josh Jacobs, including a pair of runs over 10 yards, and the offense overcame a red-zone penalty with an 11-yard touchdown pass to Tucker Kraft on a tight end screen. The scoring drive took up almost half the first quarter — 12 plays, 67 yards, 7:25.

McManus adds to first quarter lead: The Packers are dominating, and they now lead 10-0. Brandon McManus connected on a 51-yard field goal after a promising drive stalled. Both Josh Jacobs and Emanuel Wilson had nice runs on the drive. The Packers already have 87 rushing yards.

Domination early: The Packers went up 17-0 on Josh Jacobs’ 1-yard touchdown run. A pair of third down conversions to Romeo Doubs kept the drive moving. The Packers are dominating yards, plays and time of possession.

49ers respond: The 49ers won’t go quietly. Brandon Allen led an 11-play, 65-yard drive and finished it off with a touchdown pass to George Kittle to cut the lead to 17-7. The 49ers get the ball to start the second half, too.

Watson drop, fourth down stop to sandwich halftime: The Packers could have taken a 24-7 lead into the half, but Christian Watson dropped what should have been a 49-yard touchdown. After a holding call wiped out a long return from Deebo Samuel to open the second half, the Packers defense delivered a fourth down stop when Xavier McKinney broke up a pass intended for Christian McCaffrey.

No. 7 for X: The Packers needed another big play on defense, and guess who provided it? Xavier McKinney. He intercepted Brandon Allen’s pass — which went through the hands of Deebo Samuel — and returned the pick deep into 49ers territory. Interception No. 7 for McKinney.

Packers turn pick into 7: Following Xavier McKinney’s interception, the Packers got a defensive pass interference penalty in the end zone and a 1-yard touchdown run from Josh Jacobs to go up 24-7.
