Updates, highlights
Wicks active: Jordan Love and the Packers will have all their wide receivers available on Sunday. Dontayvion Wicks (shoulder) is active despite being listed as questionable. So is defensive lineman Colby Wooden (knee). The Packers have five healthy scratches, while the Texans will be without five different starters, including four on defense and top receiver Nico Collins.
Love INT leads to early Texans lead: Jordan Love threw an interception on 3rd-and-3 on the Packers’ first possession, and the Texans turned the takeaway into three points. The Packers defense held inside the red zone to limit the damage.
Deep Packers offense drives for go-ahead touchdown: Seven different players touched the football before Jordan Love rifled a 14-yard touchdown pass to Tucker Kraft to give the Packers the lead. Brandon McManus made his first extra point attempt. Packers 7, Texans 3. The drive went 92 yards.

Another turnover hands Texans points: A mistake on a punt return led to another turnover, and the Texans turned this one into a 2-yard Joe Mixon touchdown run. On the turnover, Keisean Nixon didn’t catch the punt, and a backwards bounce hit Corey Ballentine. The Texans recovered. Two plays later, they were in the end zone and taking a 10-7 lead.
Dime to Wicks: The Packers retook the lead on a dime from Jordan Love to Dontayvion Wicks. Credit to Emanuel Wilson, who extended the drive with a tough third-down conversion.
Injury update: Linebacker Quay Walker has been ruled out after suffering a concussion.
Turnover, Texans take lead: Another turnover — a second Jordan Love interception — helped the Texans re-take the lead. Joe Mixon finished off an efficient drive following the takeaway with a 4-yard touchdown run. Evan Williams stuffed the ensuing two-point attempt. Texans 19, Packers 14.
Josh Jacobs’ first career receiving TD takes back lead: The Packers responded coming out of the half, forcing a quick three-and-out before the offense unleashed a 9-play, 71-yard scoring drive. Josh Jacobs’ first career receiving touchdown put the Packers up 21-19.
