Packers’ Injury Report: Four Questionable, Two Ruled Out for Eagles Game
As the Green Bay Packers prepare for their upcoming game against the Philadelphia Eagles, the team’s injury report highlights several key players facing uncertainty. Four Packers are listed as questionable, while two have been officially ruled out.
Packers’ Injury Update
The following Packers players are questionable for Monday night’s matchup:
- Matthew Golden (shoulder)
- Dontayvion Wicks (calf)
- Savion Williams (foot)
- Zach Tom (back)
Additionally, defensive lineman Lukas Van Ness (foot) and cornerback Nate Hobbs (knee) will not play due to injuries.
Player Specifics
Matthew Golden had to exit the recent game against Carolina due to his shoulder injury and did not return. Although he practiced on Thursday in a limited capacity, he missed practice on both Friday and Saturday. Head Coach Matt LaFleur commented on Golden’s determination, stating, “He’s fighting to play.” Further assessment was to be made on his readiness prior to Saturday’s practice.
Dontayvion Wicks, returning from a calf injury that kept him out of two games, managed limited practice this week. He has recorded 13 catches for 134 yards in six games this season. LaFleur expressed hope regarding Wicks’ availability, saying, “Hopefully, we’ll see how he’s feeling out there.”
Savion Williams is dealing with a foot injury sustained during the game against the Panthers. He did not practice on Thursday but returned in a limited role on Friday. Zach Tom’s back issue has also placed him on the questionable list.
Defensive Line Challenges
Lukas Van Ness is expected to miss his fourth consecutive game due to his foot injury sustained during a sack against Cincinnati. LaFleur mentioned that the recovery has not progressed as anticipated but remains optimistic about Van Ness returning soon.
On a positive note, kicker Brandon McManus (right quadricep) has fully practiced this week and will take on kicking duties. The Packers still have kicker Lucas Havrisik on the roster as a backup.
