Set to return for Week 17 Savage (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Savage has missed the last two games with a shoulder injury, but has been given the green light to return after logging limited practice sessions all week. He'll resume his starting free safety role alongside starting strong safety Jonathan Owens. Savage has 45 tackles (32 solo) over eight games this season.

Solid effort in loss Savage recorded seven total tackles (six solo) during Monday night's 24-22 loss to the Giants.

Impact The 2019 first-round pick had his best outing since returning from injured reserve in Week 14, tying Isaiah McDuffie for the team's leading tackler. Savage has had some trouble staying on the field thus far, appearing in only eight of the Packers' 13 games. He's been productive when available for Green Bay though, logging seven or more tackles in four of his eight appearances this year. Savage and the Packers' defense will look to rebound Sunday against a Tampa Bay offense that's 22nd in the NFL in points per game.

Has new injury Savage (chest) did not participate during practice Thursday.

Impact Savage missed several weeks with a calf injury but returned to the field against the Chiefs on Sunday and played 90 percent of the team's snaps on defense. Now, the 2019 first-round selection is dealing with a chest injury, which has sidelined him to start Week 14 prep. He'll likely need to get back on the field Friday or Saturday to be cleared to play Monday against the Giants.

Impact Savage is now eligible to be added back to the 53-man roster, but he does have a 21-day window to practice with the team before he needs to be added to it. With the Packers on a short week, it may lessen the chance he returns in Week 12 against the Lions, although his practice status leading up to Thanksgiving Day will provide more clarity on his potential to do so.
