GREEN BAY PACKERS NEWS

Tucker Kraft - Set for Week 17 Kraft (hip) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest in Minnesota, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Kraft followed an LP/LP/FP practice regimen this week, while fellow tight end Luke Musgrave was listed as limited on all three Week 17 practice reports. Both players have been cleared for Sunday's game, which should result in Kraft taking on a majority share of the Packers' TE reps. Over the last five games, Kraft has combined for a 16-242-2 line on 20 targets.

Christian Watson - Questionable for Week 17 Watson (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest at Minnesota, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Watson stuck to the rehab group during Week 17 prep due to the left knee injury that he suffered Monday against the Saints. Despite Watson having no practice reps under his belt this week, coach Matt LaFleur left the door ajar for the wide receiver to play Sunday, per Hodkiewicz. In the end,. Watson's availability, or lack thereof, will be clarified about 90 minutes before a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Dontayvion Wicks, Bo Melton and Malik Heath would be the candidates for elevated roles behind Jayden Reed and Romeo Doubs if Watson is inhibited or sidelined.

Luke Musgrave - Remains limited Thursday Musgrave (ankle) was limited at Thursday's practice.

Impact Green Bay has placed practice restrictions on both Musgrave and Tucker Kraft (hip) this week, but it doesn't appear as if either player's status is in peril for Sunday's game at Minnesota. Friday's injury report may provide clarity on the overall situation at tight end for the Packers in Week 17.

Tucker Kraft - Limited again Thursday Kraft (hip) practiced on a limited basis Thursday.

Impact The Packers are capped the practice reps of both Kraft and Luke Musgrave (ankle) this week, but there's been no indication that the second-year tight ends are in danger of sitting out Sunday in Minnesota. Friday's injury report will reveal whether or not either player has a designation for that contest.

Christian Watson - Another DNP on Thursday Watson (knee) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Watson attempted to play through a left knee injury that he sustained during Monday's win against the Saints but ultimately was shut down. On Tuesday, coach Matt LaFleur called the issue "just a bruise" and noted that Watson's availability for Sunday's game at Minnesota would be determined by his on-field work this week, per Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site. With none to speak of yet through Thursday, Watson may be trending in the wrong direction, and his situation may receive some clarity as soon as the team posts its final practice report of the week Friday. Dontayvion Wicks, Bo Melton and Malik Heath all could stand to benefit behind Jayden Reed and Romeo Roubs if Watson is limited or out this weekend.

Jaire Alexander - Logs limited practice Thursday Alexander (knee) was a Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel in Thursday's practice, Tom reports.

His limited practice Thursday hints that the veteran corner may have suffered a setback in his recovery, but head coach Matt LaFleur did not comment on Alexander's rehab. Alexander's practice participation Friday will provide clarity on his chances of playing in Sunday's NFC North clash against the Vikings.

Jaire Alexander - Listed as full participant Alexander (knee) was estimated as a full participant in Green Bay's practice report Wednesday.

Impact Alexander has missed the team's past five games as he's been battling a knee injury but appears to be nearing his return.The 27-year-old will likely be good to go for Sunday's matchup versus the Vikings where he will look to help slow down Justin Jefferson and the rest of the team's high-powered offense.

Quay Walker - Listed as DNP Wednesday Walker (ankle) was listed as a non-participant in Green Bay's practice estimate Wednesday.

Christian Watson - DNP on estimated injury report Watson (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report.

Impact Watson banged up his left knee Monday when a Saints defender landed on his leg out of bounds after a 14-yard carry. Upon further evaluation Tuesday, the third-year pro is dealing with "just a bruise," as coach Matt LaFleur told Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site. "Still gotta be able to function," LaFleur added. "We'll see how he practices this week and see where we're at." As such, Watson's presence on the field the next two days may be key for the Packers' decision-making process in advance of Sunday's game at Minnesota.
