Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur provided a host of injury updates in his first availability of Week 15 on Monday.
On safety Javon Bullard, who is dealing with a new ankle injury: “I would say it’s more week to week.” Bullard left Thursday night’s loss to the Detroit Lions after suffering the injury in coverage. He was spotted on crutches leaving the locker room, but it appears a significant, long-term injury is off the table.
On safety Evan Williams, who suffered a concussion in Detroit: “He is in the protocol right now.” The rookie safety will need to pass through protocol this week to play Sunday night against the Seattle Seahawks.
On if receiver Romeo Doubs has cleared concussion protocol: “He has not.” Doubs first suffered the concussion on Nov. 24. He practiced in a limited capacity three times last week but still hasn’t passed the final stages of the protocol, a worrisome sign.
On receiver Dontayvion Wicks, who took a hard fall at the end of a catch in Detroit: “He’s fine.” The Packers never listed Wicks with an in-game injury.
LaFleur didn’t have an update or wasn’t asked about cornerback Jaire Alexander, linebacker Edgerrin Cooper or cornerback Corey Ballentine, who all missed last week’s loss in Detroit. Also, offensive lineman Jordan Morgan and tight end Luke Musgrave are eligible to come off injured reserve this week, but no information was acquired on either player.
The Packers won’t hold an official practice or issue the first injury report of the week until Wednesday.
