Malik Heath among Packers inactives vs. Seahawks on SNF

The Green Bay Packers made four players inactive for Sunday night’s showdown with the Seattle Seahawks in Week 15. Cornerback Jaire Alexander and defensive back Javon Bullard were ruled out with injuries on Friday, and the Packers made receiver Malik Heath and rookie offensive lineman Jacob Monk healthy scratches.

Cornerback Corey Ballentine, who was questionable to play with a knee injury, is active. The Packers didn’t bring up a cornerback from the practice squad on Saturday, suggesting Ballentine is physically ready to play important snaps at a position dealing with injury.

Monk has been a healthy scratch during each of the last four games. Heath, who has played in 11 games this season, is a healthy scratch for just the third time this season. His deactivation on Sunday night highlights the health of the receiver group, which will return Romeo Doubs from a two-game absence.

The Seahawks will be without running back Kenneth Walker III, who will miss his second straight game with a calf injury. He is inactive.
