Josh Whyle - Not practicing yet Whyle (concussion) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Dominique Yates of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Whyle faces an uphill battle to clear concussion protocol before Sunday's game against the Vikings. If he's unable to do so, he would sit out for a second consecutive game while Mark Redman and Jonnu Smith continue to function as the depth options behind Tucker Kraft.

Zaire Franklin - Not ready to practice yet Franklin (shin) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Dominique Yates of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Franklin has yet to resume practicing since sustaining a hairline fracture during Green Bay's Week 6 win over Dallas. He's trending toward a fourth consecutive absence Sunday against the Vikings, with confirmation on that front to come Friday when the Packers release injury designations.

Josh Jacobs - Set for surgery on finger Friday Jacobs (finger) will undergo surgery Friday, and the Packers will have a better sense of his recovery timetable afterward, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jacobs exited Green Bay's Week 9 win over the Patriots after fracturing his ring finger and has already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Vikings. A more precise recovery timeline is expected to be established after Jacobs undergoes surgery on the injured finger Friday, though initial estimates put his likely absence at 2-to-3 weeks on the optimistic side. MarShawn Lloyd, Kaleb Johnson and Pierre Strong are set to lead Green Bay's backfield while Jacobs is sidelined.

Trey Smack - Coach expects full practice Thursday Head coach Matt LaFleur said he expects Smack (calf) to practice without limitations Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com, LaFleur added that he isn't concerned with Smack's mechanics being affected by the kicker's right calf injury based on Smack's performance at Wednesday's practice. If Smack returns to full participation Thursday after being limited Wednesday, that would put him in the clear to face the Vikings on Sunday.

1 DAY AGO • Associated Press

Evan Williams - Records third interception of 2026 Williams logged five tackles (four solo) and one interception during the Packers' 45-27 win over the Patriots in Week 9.

Impact Brandon Cisse broke up a deep pass from Drake Maye to Kyle Williams early in the second quarter, and Williams was able to make a toe-tapping grab for the takeaway. Williams is up to three interceptions on the year, which ties his career high that he set across 16 regular-season games in 2025. The third-year defensive back is up to 76 tackles (48 solo), including 1.0 sacks, seven pass defenses and one fumble recovery through nine regular-season games.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Xavier McKinney - Picks off Maye twice in Week 9 win McKinney posted four tackles (two solo) and two interceptions during the Packers' 45-27 win over the Patriots in Week 9.

Impact Both of McKinney's interceptions took place in the first half, and the Packers offense capitalized by scoring touchdowns off of each of those two takeaways. It was the second time this season that McKinney logged two picks, and his five interceptions are tied with Amani Hooker for most in the NFL. McKinney is up to 38 tackles (22 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and six pass defenses through nine regular-season games.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Isaiah McDuffie - Takes down Maye in Week 9 victory McDuffie registered 10 tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery during the Packers' 45-27 win over the Patriots in Week 9.

Impact McDuffie's first tackle of the game was a nine-yard sack on Drake Maye early in the first quarter, which led to the Patriots punting the ball away on the next play. McDuffie also recovered the fumble he forced late in the third quarter, which the Packers offense turned into a 37-yard touchdown pass from Jordan Love to Christian Watson one play later. McDuffie has racked up double-digit stops in three consecutive games, and he's been the starting inside linebacker in each of those contests due to the absence of Zaire Franklin (shin). McDuffie should hang onto his starting role against the Vikings on Sunday assuming Franklin is ruled out for that game.

Ty'Ron Hopper - Limited in Wednesday's practice Hopper (chest) was a limited participant in Wednesday's jog-through practice.

Impact Hopper picked up a chest injury during the first quarter of the Packers' win against the Patriots in Week 9 and did not return. The good news for the third-year pro is that he was cleared to practice in a limited fashion Wednesday. If Hopper can upgrade his participation over the next two days, then he would likely avoid an injury designation for Sunday's NFC North showdown against the Vikings.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Javon Bullard - Nursing ankle injury Bullard (ankle) was held out of Wednesday's jog-through practice.

Impact Bullard may have tweaked his ankle during the Packers' win over the Patriots in Week 9, when he logged three tackles (two solo). He'll have two more chances to return to practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Vikings, but if he cannot play in that contest, then Kamal Hadden, Carrington Valentine and Benjamin St-Juste would all be in line for more defensive snaps in the secondary.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Lukas Van Ness - Working through back issue Van Ness (back) was listed as a DNP on Wednesday's practice report.

Impact The Packers hosted a jog-through practice Wednesday, but Van Ness was a spectator for that session due to a back injury that he may have picked up during the Packers' Week 9 win over the Patriots, when he logged one solo tackle. He'll have two more opportunities to practice in at least a limited capacity ahead of Sunday's NFC North tilt against Minnesota.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Zaire Franklin - DNP to open Week 10 prep Franklin (shin) did not participate in Wednesday's jog-through practice.

Impact Franklin has missed the Packers' last three games while recovering from a hairline fracture in his shin that he suffered in Week 6 against the Cowboys. He hasn't been cleared to practice since sustaining the injury, so unless he can return to on-field action over the next couple of days, Franklin is unlikely to be available for this Sunday's NFC North showdown against the Vikings. Isaiah McDuffie has stepped into a starting role at inside linebacker in Franklin's absence.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Bo Melton - Logs full session Wednesday Melton (head) was a full participant in Wednesday's jog-through practice.

Impact Melton was removed from this past Sunday's game against the Patriots in order to be evaluated for a possible concussion. His ability to practice in full Wednesday is an encouraging sign for his availability for Week 10 against the Vikings on Nov. 15. Melton has five catches (on 10 targets) for 34 yards and 372 yards on 14 kickoffs through nine regular-season games, although he has not recorded a reception since Week 7 against the Lions.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Skyy Moore - Logs limited session in return The Packers designated Moore (ankle) to return from injured reserve Wednesday.

Impact Moore was a limited participant in Wednesday's jog-through practice, which was his first on-field action since being placed on injured reserve in mid-October due to an ankle injury. He's mostly operated as a returner on kickoffs and punts this season, but his return would also give the Packers some extra depth at wide receiver.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Chris Brooks - Limited to open Week 10 prep Brooks (ankle) was listed as a limited practice participant for Wednesday's jog-through session.

Impact Brooks continues to work his way back from an ankle injury that caused him to land on injured reserve in early October. He would likely need to log consecutive full practices before being activated from IR. The Packers face the Vikings on Sunday, and Green Bay is expected to be without Josh Jacobs for 2-to-3 weeks due to a broken right ring finger, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Trey Smack - Limited with calf issue Smack (calf) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

Impact It's a new injury for the Packers' rookie kicker, who went a perfect 7-for-7 on kicks in last Sunday's demolition of the Patriots. The team doesn't currently employ another kicker on the active roster or practice squad.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Micah Parsons - Officially LP on Wednesday Parsons (knee/illness) officially was limited at Wednesday's jog-through.

Impact Prior to Wednesday's session, head coach Matt LaFleur told Ryan Wood of USA Today that Parsons wasn't slated to participate Wednesday due to an illness, but he instead did enough to avoid a DNP listing. On top of that, Parsons is expected to return to team drills later this week, so it'll be interesting to see if he goes down as a full participant Thursday and/or Friday. The Packers are exactly one week into a 21-day window in which to evaluate Parsons and activate him from IR, so the team likely will continue to exercise caution with his return to action.
