The Green Bay Packers released the team’s first injury report of Week 8 on Wednesday. The team will release two more injury reports, including a final injury report on Friday with official playing status designations before Sunday’s showdown with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Here’s everything to know from the Packers’ first injury report of Week 8:
— Defensive lineman Devonte Wyatt (ankle) returned to practice for the first time since suffering an injury in Week 4. He was limited. Practicing on Wednesday should give Wyatt a legitimate chance of returning on Sunday.
— New injuries included a wrist injury for center Josh Myers, a glute injury for left guard Elgton Jenkins and an ankle injury for cornerback Corey Ballentine. All three missed practice on Wednesday. Injuries to Myers and Jenkins are especially troublesome considering Myers is the starting center and Jenkins has operated as the backup center. If one or both can’t go, the Packers would need to do some serious shuffling along the offensive line.
— Linebacker Quay Walker is in concussion protocol. He did not practice Wednesday. He’ll have to progress through the protocol over the next few days to have a chance to play Sunday. The Packers have Isaiah McDuffie, rookie Edgerrin Cooper and Eric Wilson behind Walker at linebacker.
— Cornerback Keisean Nixon has a new hamstring injury, but he practiced in a limited capacity on Wednesday.
— Defensive lineman Kenny Clark remains on the injury report with a toe injury. He’s played through the injury for six consecutive weeks. Cornerback Jaire Alexander is still listed with a groin injury. Both were limited.
— The Packers removed tight end Tucker Kraft (groin) and wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (shoulder) from the injury report to start Week 8. All both are recovered from past injuries.
— The Jaguars were without starting left tackle Cam Robinson, who is in the concussion protocol to start the week. Seven other players were listed as limited, including defensive lineman Arik Armstead, receiver Gabe Davis, tight end Evan Engram and running back Travis Etienne. Linebacker Foye Oluokun and safety Andrew Wingard were designated to return from injured reserve and were limited during Wednesday’s practice.
