On Monday, the Green Bay Packers released the team’s first injury report from Week 14. The team will release two more injury reports, including a final injury report on Wednesday with official status indications ahead of Thursday’s game against the Detroit Lions.
Here’s everything you need to know from the Packers’ first Week 14 injury report:
Who didn’t participate?
On Monday, three players did not train, including one surprise. Linebacker Edgerrin Cooper (hamstring) and cornerback Corey Ballentine (knee) did not practice for the second day in a row (the Packers practiced on Sunday). However, the Packers were also without starting left tackle Elgton Jenkins and it wasn’t about resting veterans. He has a knee injury and did not take part in any match on Monday.
Any modern injuries worth knowing about?
Jenkins’ knee injury appears to be modern and should be monitored for the rest of the week. Ballentine suffered a knee injury in the first game last Thursday night and did not return to the field. The Packers listed Josh Jacobs as circumscribed due to a calf injury, with which he was sidelined last week. Defensive end Arron Mosby was being evaluated for the concussion he suffered last week, but he participated in full action on Monday. Defensive lineman Colby Wooden was once again hampered by a shoulder injury after failing to appear on the injury report last week.
Who are the injured players to watch this week?
Cornerback Jaire Alexander returned to practice on Sunday and was available again on Tuesday, potentially opening the door for him to return. Receiver Romeo Doubs practiced on a circumscribed basis but still has not received an official concussion protocol. Cooper could be in danger of missing a third straight game, while Jenkins will need to be monitored on Tuesday and Wednesday.
What to know from the Lions injury report?
The Lions fielded six players and four did not practice on Monday. Left tackle Taylor Decker (knee), defensive end Josh Paschal (knee), defensive lineman Levi Onwuzurike (hamstring) and defensive lineman DJ Reader (shoulder) were not available. Cornerback Carlton Davis (knee) was circumscribed. The Lions injured reserve list includes linebacker Aidan Hutchinson, linebacker Malcolm Rodriquez, linebacker Alex Anzalone, cornerback Ennis Rakestraw, linebacker Derrick Barnes, linebacker John Cominsky, linebacker Marcus Davenport, linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin, safety Ifeatu Melifonwu, receiving Caliph. Raymond and defensive lineman Mekhi Wingo.
