INJURIES

Josh Jacobs - Says he'll play this week Jacobs (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday but said he'll be ready for Sunday's game against Detroit, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Impact Coach Matt LaFleur also hinted at the injury being minor, saying Wednesday that Jacobs "rolled" his ankle late in the fourth quarter and wanted to re-enter Sunday's 30-27 win over the Jaguars. The Packers held him out for the final few snaps but now seem optimistic about having Jacobs ready for an NFC North showdown this Sunday. QB Jordan Love (groin) appears in more danger of missing the game, which would put more of the offensive burden on Jacobs and the other pieces of Green Bay's running game (backup QB Malik Willis as well as backup RBs Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks).

Quay Walker - Past concussion Head coach Matt LaFleur told reporters Wednesday that Walker has cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Impact Walker missed the Packers' Week 8 win over the Jaguars after sustaining a concussion the week prior, but it now appears he's moved past the issue. The 2022 first-round pick from Georgia has tallied 52 total tackles, including 1.5 sacks, through seven appearances this season. He's expected to start alongside Edgerrin Cooper as one of Green Bay's top inside linebackers in Week 9, when the Packers host the Lions.

Josh Jacobs - Misses practice with ankle injury Jacobs missed Wednesday's practice with an ankle injury he suffered toward the end of Sunday's 30-27 win at Jacksonville, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Impact Coach Matt LaFleur said Jacobs wanted to go back into the game but was prevented from doing so on the final drive. The Packers ended up winning on a chip-shot field goal after a 51-yard connection between backup QB Malik Willis and Jayden Reed. There's an opportunity for Jacobs to be even more emphasized than usual in the Green Bay offense if his ankle injury clears up before QB Jordan Love's groin injury.

Josh Jacobs - Not spotted at Wednesday's practice Jacobs (undisclosed) is not participating in practice Wednesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Jacobs' absence may simply be related to load management, and Wednesday's official injury report will provide clarity on the star running back's health. Quarterback Jordan Love (groin) is also not practicing Wednesday and seems up-in-the-air for Week 9, making Jacobs' availability an even more pivotal factor than usual for the Packers' offense. Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks are both available behind Jacobs in the backfield for Green Bay.
OCTOBER 30 • ROTOWIRE
Jordan Love - Not practicing Wednesday Love (groin) is not participating in Wednesday's practice, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
Impact Love got some work in on an exercise bike but did not ultimately take the practice field with teammates, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports. The starting quarterback was knocked out of Green Bay's win over Jacksonville in Week 7 due to a groin strain, for which he's been labeled day-to-day. It sounds like Love still has a chance to be available for Sunday's pivotal divisional matchup against Detroit, but he now has only two more opportunities to officially get on the practice field prior to Week 8 action. Malik Willis will start under center for the Packers in the event that Love can't go.

Impact The All-Pro cornerback sustained a knee injury late in the Packers' Week 8 win over the Jaguars, but Demovsky's report Monday suggests Alexander avoided what could have been a serious issue. His practice participation throughout the week will likely provide the best indication on whether he can play through injury in the Packers' Week 9 divisional matchup against the Lions.

Jordan Love - Day-to-day with groin strain Love (groin) is considered day-to-day after an MRI undergone Monday revealed the nature of the injury that forced him out of Sunday's 30-27 win over Jacksonville to be a strain, Ia...
Impact Love will be considered day-to-day heading into Week 9 action against the Loins, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, with the diagnosis of a groin strain providing some optimism that the franchise quarterback may not have to miss time. During Sunday's win over Jacksonville, Love was visibly hobbled by the second quarter before being forced out of the game early in the second half, after which point Malik Willis took over under center. Green Bay will benefit from a Week 10 bye after a pivotal divisional matchup against Detroit on Nov. 3, so if the team has any lingering concern about Love's injury the decision could be made to opt for caution. Love figures to get every chance to demonstrate his health during practice, though, with Green Bay scheduled to next take the field Wednesday.

Xavier McKinney - Gets another interception McKinney recorded six tackles (four solo) and an interception during Sunday's 30-27 win at Jacksonville.
Impact After Sunday's win, McKinney now has an interception in six of the Packers' eight games, and he's alone at the top of the league in that category heading into Week 9. McKinney and Green Bay are now in line to host the Lions and Jared Goff, who has thrown 13 touchdowns and just four interceptions through seven games in 2024.

Eric Wilson - Records season-high tackle total Wilson recorded nine tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 30-27 win at Jacksonville.
Impact Wilson led Packers linebackers in snaps (56) for a second straight game in Week 8 with Quay Walker (concussion) out, and he tallied nine tackles in a game for the first time since back in 2021. If Walker can't return in Week 9 versus the Lions, Wilson could enter consideration as an IDP option.

Edgerrin Cooper - Forces game-changing fumble Cooper recorded nine tackles (five solo) including 1.0 sacks and a forced fumble along with a pass defensed during Sunday's 30-27 win at Jacksonville.
Impact Sunday's game was the most complete of Cooper's young career thus far, and it was highlighted by a strip sack on the Jaguars' four-yard line which led to a Packers touchdown. He's gotten more regular playing time over the past few weeks after a slow start to the season, but he's still not worthy of IDP consideration in most formats yet.

Chris Brooks - Gets involved in win Brooks had four carries for 16 yards and one reception for one yard in Sunday's 30-27 victory over the Jaguars.
Impact Brooks was the third Packers running back to get work Sunday, but he finished with just one fewer touch than fellow reserve Emanuel Wilson, and he also wound up playing 17 snaps to Wilson's 12. There has not been an official changing of the guard behind starter Josh Jacobs, and another ball carrier -- MarShawn Lloyd (ankle) -- could be back soon, but Brooks is more than an afterthought in the Green Bay backfield at this point.

Emanuel Wilson - Continues ceding snaps Wilson had four carries for five yards and two receptions for minus-2 yards in Sunday's 30-27 victory over the Jaguars.
Impact Wilson's snap count has been trending down for weeks, and he did not even finish second among Packers running backs in that department in Week 8, as Chris Brooks took the field for 17 snaps while Wilson was out there for only 12. Green Bay figures to lean on top back Josh Jacobs in Week 9 before going on bye in Week 10, so those who have held onto Wilson should be evaluating other options.
