Ruled out Anderson (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Saturday night's game against the Ravens.

Questionable to return Anderson (ankle) is questionable to return to Saturday night's game against the Ravens.

Impact Anderson exited the game in the first quarter with an ankle injury. The safety logged a solo tackle before his exit, and someone will need to fill the defensive back's role on special teams while he is absent from the contest.

Won't play vs. Detroit Anderson (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Anderson was limited in practice this past week due to a knee injury, and it is severe enough for him to miss Sunday's regular-season opener.

Could play in Week 1 Anderson (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Lions, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

The BYU product was a key contributor on special teams in 2024, tallying 16 total tackles over 371 total snaps (118 defensive and 253 on special teams). If he's unable to play in Week 1, Kitan Oladapo will likely play as Green Bay's lone reserve safety.
