What to know from Packers’ first injury report of Week 13 vs. Chiefs

The Green Bay Packers released the team’s first injury report of Week 12 on Wednesday. The team will release two more injury reports, including a final injury report on Friday with official playing status designations before Sunday night’s showdown with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Here’s everything to know from Week 13’s first injury report:

— The Packers listed 15 players on the injury, including two players — Darnell Savage and Eric Stokes — who are still on injured reserve. The Chiefs had eight, but six were full participants on Wednesday. Of the Packers’ 15, only three were full go.

— New injuries: Keisean Nixon (wrist), Robert Rochell (calf) and Devonte Wyatt (heel).

— Running back A.J. Dillon didn’t practice because of a groin injury — one he played through last week — but Matt LaFleur said the team is just trying to get him closer to 100 percent.

— Rookie Jayden Reed (chest) and running back Aaron Jones (knee) did not practice. Reed played through the injury last Thursday; Jones might need another week before he’s ready.

— The following players were limited: Jaire Alexander, De’Vondre Campbell, Kenny Clark, Josiah Deguara, Rudy Ford, Rashan Gary, Rochell, Stokes and Dontayvion Wicks. Alexander, Campbell, Deguara, Ford, Stokes and Wicks didn’t play last week.

— Savage was a full participant on Wednesday and should be on track to play Sunday. He’s missed five games.

— Overall, the Packers have eight preferred defensive starters on the injury report.

— Wicks is no longer listed with a concussion label because he passed protocol. He does still have a knee issue he’s working through. He was limited.

— Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon (groin) did not practice Wednesday. Linebacker Nick Bolton (wrist, designated for return from injured reserve) was limited.
