GREEN BAY − Here’s the latest on Green Bay Packers injuries before they face the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Day.
Green Bay Packers Nov. 24 injury report
The Packers did not practice Nov. 24 but, if they did, this is the estimated injury report.
Karl Brooks (ankle), Keisean Nixon (neck), Lukas Van Ness (foot) and Savion Williams (foot) would not have practiced.
Javon Bullard (ankle), Edgerrin Cooper (foot/shoulder), Matthew Golden (wrist), Nate Hobbs (knee), Josh Jacobs (knee), Jayden Reed (IR/shoulder/foot), Zach Tom (back), Quay Walker (neck) and Dontayvion Wicks (calf) would have been limited.
Keisean Nixon injury update
Packers cornerback Keisean Nixon dropped out of the first quarter of the team’s 23-6 victory against the Minnesota Vikings due to a stinger after running into a teammate on the sideline.
Kamal Hadden replaced Nixon on the outside opposite Carrington Valentine and had four total tackles.
After the game, Packers coach Matt LaFleur didn’t have an update on his status.
“I would say I think it’s more day-to-day,” he said. “I think Thursday is certainly a question right now, but I wouldn’t rule him out by any stretch.”
Quay Walker injury update
Packers linebacker Quay Walker, who missed practice all week because of neck stinger, was ruled out of the Vikings game.
Isaiah McDuffie filled the role of middle linebacker to replace Walker and had a team-high nine tackles and his first career interception.
Josh Jacobs injury update
Packers running back Josh Jacobs suffered a knee injury in Week 11 against the New York Giants. He missed practice Nov. 19 and was a limited participant the next two days before he was ruled out of the Vikings game.
Jacobs told reporters last week that if he misses any time, it would be only one game.
“Worst case if I don’t play this week, Thursday [vs. the Lions] I’m definitely playing,” Jacobs said. “It’s not like something that’ll linger over past that. That’s really the worst-case scenario.”
Backup Emanuel Wilson took over at running back and rushed 28 times for a career-high 107 yards and scored two touchdowns. He was the team’s first 100-yard rusher of the season.
Matthew Golden injury update
Packers receiver Matthew Golden, after being a limited participant in practice during the week, missed the Vikings game due to shoulder and wrist injuries.
He missed the Week 10 game against the Philadelphia Eagles due to the injuries, played the next two games against the Carolina Panthers and New York Giants, but dropped out of the Giants game.
Nate Hobbs injury update
Packers cornerback Nate Hobbs has missed the past three games due to a knee injury.
Jayden Reed injury update
Packers receiver Jayden Reed returned to practice Nov. 21, opening his three-week practice window to be activated off injury reserve after having surgery on his foot and collarbone in September.
