San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is out for the Week 12 matchup with the Green Bay Packers. Defensive end Nick Bosa will not play either.
Purdy did not practice Friday, leaving his status uncertain. But head coach Kyle Shanahan made it official when he met with reporters after practice. Brandon Allen will start at quarterback against Green Bay.
In addition, lefty Trent Williams is listed as questionable with an ankle injury and will be a game-time decision, according to Shanahan.
Earlier Friday, the NFL listed Purdy on its injury report. It was previously listed as doubtful, but has now been officially downgraded.
Bosa was also listed as out on the injury report due to hip and oblique issues. He suffered the injury in practice on Nov. 6 and played through the injury in the Week 10 game against Tampa Bay.
He left last week’s game against the Seahawks in the third quarter and did not return. Bosa told reporters after the game that he injured his oblique muscle while compensating for a hip injury.
Right shoulder soreness limited Purdy in practice Wednesday and Thursday, and he sat out the team’s final practice before traveling to Green Bay.

General manager John Lynch told KNBR on Friday that Purdy underwent an MRI and described his condition Sunday as “gentle.”
“Hopefully he’ll make progress and we’ll try to do that this weekend, but we’ll see,” Lynch said. “I think it’s weak.
At Thursday’s practice, Purdy’s participation consisted of soft throws while San Francisco’s three other quarterbacks went through drills with QB coach Brian Griese. Purdy stopped after about five minutes, had trainers treat his shoulder and returned to the locker room, according to reporters.
Purdy appeared to suffer the injury during last week’s 20-17 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. He finished the game, but didn’t make any throws of more than 10 yards after the hit that potentially hurt him. There was no indication that Purdy was injured.
