Three takeaways from the Week 12 injury report.

The Green Bay Packers‘ biggest game of the season to date takes place at Levi’s Stadium on Sunday when they meet the 9-1 San Francisco 49ers.

On Friday, the final injury report was released for both teams. For once, this late in the season, the Packers are healthy.

Here are three takeaways from the final injury report:

1. Cole Madison out for the season

This came as a bit of a surprise.

Second-year offensive lineman Cole Madison was added to the injury report on Thursday due to a knee injury. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Madison tore his ACL and will miss the rest of the season.

It’s awful luck for Madison. Hopefully, he’ll make a quick recovery and be ready to go at the start of next season. For the Packers, they may look to sign another guard to ensure they have depth in case of more injuries.

2. Packers are healthy after the bye week

Outside of Madison’s injury, the Packers are healthy. Madison was the only player who didn’t practice on Friday.

Tight end Robert Tonyan is questionable for Sunday night’s game, but according to ESPN’s Rob Demovsky, Tonyan said he’s “ready to go”. The fact he was a full participant at practice on Friday is a good indication he could be available for the game.

Fullback Danny Vitale is also questionable. He was limited at practice all week. Madison, of course, has been ruled out and will likely be placed on injured reserve.

But other than that, everyone on the Packers’ injury report is ready to against the 49ers in Week 12.

3. 49ers likely to be without key players

The 49ers will likely be without running back Matt Breida, edge rusher Dee Ford and kicker Robbie Gould. All three were listed as doubtful on the 49ers’ injury report.

Tight end George Kittle and wide receivers Emmanuel Sanders and Deebo Samuel are questionable. All three were limited during Friday’s practice, so it’s unclear if they’ll be available for Sunday’s game.

Tackle Joe Staley has been ruled out.

The Packers are healthy and ready to go in Week 12, but the 49ers could be without a few key starters. And that could make a big difference in such an important game.
