Green Bay Packers WRs Suffer Further Setbacks in Eagles Injury Report
The Green Bay Packers face significant challenges with their wide receiver lineup as they prepare for their upcoming game against the Philadelphia Eagles. The situation worsened with injuries affecting multiple key players.
Injury Setbacks for Packers Receivers
Jayden Reed, a key receiver, is currently on injured reserve due to a collarbone injury. Additionally, first-round rookie wide receiver Matthew Golden, previously limited in practice, has now become a complete non-participant due to a hip injury sustained during the match against the Carolina Panthers.
Reserve receiver Malik Heath has also appeared on the injury report for the first time this week, listing a hip injury. These setbacks leave the Packers’ receiving corps in a precarious situation.
Current Receiver Depth Chart
In response to these injuries, the Packers recently added a fourth receiver to their 17-man practice squad following the trade deadline. Multiple practice squad receivers may be called up for the game on Sunday. Possible elevations include:
- Isaiah Neyor
- Will Sheppard
- Jakobie Keeney-James
- Michael Woods II
The Packers have a history of promoting practice squad players shortly before games, making this a likely scenario.
Other Injuries Impacting the Team
Beyond the wide receivers, the Packers are grappling with additional injuries. Defensive end Lukas Van Ness is listed with a foot injury, while cornerback Nate Hobbs struggles with a knee issue. Limited participants in practice include:
- Malik Willis (quarterback, calf)
- Aaron Banks (left guard, neck)
- Zach Tom (right tackle, back)
- Micah Parsons (defensive end, pectoral)
- Colby Wooden (defensive tackle)
- Quay Walker (linebacker, calf)
- Edgerrin Cooper (linebacker, foot)
All participants, except for Willis, are regular starters, exacerbating the challenges faced by the team.
Eagles Injury Report
In contrast, the Philadelphia Eagles listed only two players who could not practice on Friday. Center Cam Jurgens is dealing with a knee injury, while cornerback Adoree’ Jackson is not participating due to a concussion. The disparity in the health of both teams could significantly influence the game.
With one practice day remaining before the match, the Packers’ ability to field a competitive lineup remains in question. The outcomes of these injuries could play a crucial role in the game against the Eagles.
