On Wednesday, the Green Bay Packers released the team’s first Week 7 injury report. The team will release two more injury reports, including a final injury report on Friday with official game status indications ahead of Sunday’s matchup with the Houston Texans.
Here’s everything you need to know from the Packers’ first Week 7 injury report:
— Offensive lineman Elgton Jenkins (knee), defensive lineman Devonte Wyatt (ankle) and defensive lineman Colby Wooden (knee) did not participate Wednesday. Jenkins and Wyatt are dealing with the same injuries, while Wooden’s injury is modern. Wyatt has missed two straight games and may have a arduous time returning after missing the start of the week.
— Receiver Dontayvion Wicks (shoulder) was restricted on Wednesday, although he missed Sunday’s game with an injury. Receiver Jayden Reed (ankle) was also restricted after suffering an injury on Sunday. Wicks did not return to the game; Reed managed to do it. Both appear to have escaped stern injury.
— Center Josh Myers has a modern neck injury. He had restricted training opportunities on Wednesday. Myers briefly missed Sunday’s victory. In his absence, the Packers moved Jenkins to center and placed Jordan Morgan at guard.
— The Packers have removed linebacker Edgerrin Cooper (hip), offensive lineman Jordan Morgan (shoulder), tackle Zach Tom (shoulder), offensive tackle Rasheed Walker (knee), cornerback Carrington Valentine (ankle) and safety Zayne Anderson ( elbow). injury report starting in week 7.
— Cornerback Jaire Alexander (groin), defensive lineman Kenny Clark (toe) and tight end Tucker Kraft (groin) were restricted Wednesday. Last week they played despite injuries.
— Defensive lineman Jonathan Ford was a full participant. It’s possible he could be activated on the 53-man roster this week if the Packers are without Wyatt and Wood.
— The Texans listed nine players on their injury report, including six who missed Wednesday’s game. The DNPs included starters at linebacker (Azeez Al-Shaair, Henry To’oTo’o), safety (Jimmie Ward), cornerback (Kamari Lassiter) and defensive line (Folorunso Fatukasi). Veteran receiver Robert Woods also did not practice. The Texans also have injured backup Nico Collins.
