Evan Williams - Pops up with injury Saturday Williams is questionable for Monday's game against the Saints with a quad injury.

Impact Williams did not appear on Green Bay's practice report Thursday or Friday before showing up as a limited participant Saturday. The rookie safety has quickly stepped into a significant role in the secondary this season, tallying 49 tackles and three passes defended over 13 appearances. With fellow rookie Javon Bullard (ankle) already ruled out, defensive backs Zayne Anderson and Keisean Nixon will likely step up into bigger roles if Williams ultimately ends up inactive.

Quay Walker - Won't play Week 16 Walker (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Saints.

Impact Walker exited with an ankle injury during last Sunday's win against the Seahawks, and he logged three straight DNPs during Week 16 prep. Over 13 appearances this season, the third-year linebacker has already logged over 100 tackles, marking his third straight season doing so. With Walker sidelined, veteran Eric Wilson will likely step up as Green Bay's defensive play caller alongside fellow off-ball linebackers Edgerrin Cooper and Isaiah McDuffie.

Luke Musgrave - Questionable, still on IR Musgrave (ankle), who remains on injured reserve, is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Saints, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact For a second week in a row, Musgrave operated with a cap on his practice reps, but this time around he actually has a chance to play for the first time since Week 4. He'll need to be activated by 4:00 p.m. ET on Monday to get back on the active roster, and the Packers then will be required to post a list of inactives about 90 minutes before an 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, which he'll need to avoid to be available again to Green Bay's offense.

Javon Bullard - Logs another DNP Bullard (ankle) didn't practice Friday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Bullard has not returned to practice since sustaining an ankle injury in the Packers' Week 14 loss to the Lions. He likely needs to practice in a limited capacity Saturday to have a chance at suiting up Monday night, when the Packers host the Saints. If Bullard misses his second consecutive game in Week 16, expect Keisean Nixon to move to slot corner, with Carrington Valentine starting as one of Green Bay's outside corners.

Quay Walker - Misses another practice Walker (ankle) didn't practice Friday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact It appears increasingly likely that Walker will be held out of the Packers' Week 16 matchup against the Saints on Monday night, as he's now logged back-to-back DNPs after sustaining an ankle injury in the Week 15 win over the Seahawks. If Walker is sidelined Monday night, expect Isaiah McDuffie to start alongside Edgerrin Cooper in Green Bay's linebacker corps.

Luke Musgrave - Another limited showing Musgrave (ankle) practiced in a limited capacity Friday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Musgrave has operated with a cap on his practice reps since the Packers designated him for return from injured reserve last Wednesday. He wasn't activated for the team's Week 15 win at Seattle, but coach Matt LaFleur said Friday that Musgrave "potentially" may be able to play Monday against the Saints, as the tight end has "looked pretty good out there the last couple days," per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com. Saturday's injury report will reveal whether or not Musgrave has a designation for that contest.

Packers HC Matt LaFleur: Jordan Love playing 'best ball' of career

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that quarterback Jordan Love is playing the "best ball" of his career.

Jordan Morgan - Done for the year Morgan is out for the rest of the season due to his recurring right-shoulder injury, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact The injury has limited the 2024 first-round pick to just six games this season, and he has been on injured reserve since Nov. 16, with Sean Rhyan serving as the team's starting right guard. Green Bay coach Matt LaFleur told Schneidman on the "Matt LaFleur Podcast" that Morgan had surgery on the shoulder recently and was seen in the locker room with his right arm in a sling. Morgan also worked with the first team over the summer before the injury and should compete for a starting job again in 2025, per Schneidman.

Jaire Alexander - Appears past knee injury Alexander (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Alexander has missed the Packers' last four games due to a PCL injury in his knee that he suffered against the Bears in Week 11. He was able to log full practices last week, and while he didn't play against the Seahawks this past Sunday, he is on track to play against the Saints on Monday.

MarShawn Lloyd - Not shutting door on 2024 return Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Thursday that he hasn't "shut the door" on the idea of Lloyd (appendix) playing again this season, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site repo...

Impact "I never want to shut the door on that," said LeFleur. [Lloyd]'s just gonna focus on continuing to get better and when he can go, he'll go." Lloyd had an appendectomy in mid-November, right when he appeared ready to return from a two-month stint on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury. The Packers had to activate him from IR and place him on the non-football injury list to keep him eligible for a return this season -- a move that won't happen for Week 16 but apparently hasn't been ruled out for the very end of the regular season and/or the playoffs.

Javon Bullard - Absent from practice Thursday Bullard (ankle) is not participating in Thursday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Bullard's ankle injury prevented him from suiting up Sunday versus the Seahawks, and his status still appears up-in-the-air heading into Monday's matchup against the Saints. The rookie second-round pick will likely need to resume practicing in at least a limited fashion Friday or Saturday to have a chance at suiting up Week 16.

Luke Musgrave - Limited Thursday Musgrave (ankle) was limited at Thursday's practice, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Musgrave has been listed as limited on Packers injury reports since the team designated him for return from injured reserve last Wednesday. He's in the later stages of his recovery from ankle surgery that was performed in early October, and he may need to get back to full participation by Saturday in order to have a chance to be activated ahead of Monday's game against the Saints.
