The Green Bay Packers are 9-4 following Week 14. Last week, they traveled to Detroit but lost to the Lions 34-31.
Green Bay has two more primetime games scheduled for Weeks 15 and 16. This week, they will head to Seattle for a Sunday Night Football matchup.
The Packers are looking to bounce back, and head coach Matt LaFleur provided an update on three important injured players.
Three Injured Players
LaFleur spoke with reporters on Monday and mentioned that safety Javon Bullard is week-to-week with an ankle injury. The rookie left the game against Detroit after injuring his ankle while in coverage. He was seen on crutches after the game, but it seems he avoided a serious injury.
Rookie safety Evan Williams also sustained an injury against the Lions, suffering a concussion. He left in the first half and is currently in the concussion protocol. LaFleur noted, “He is in the protocol right now.”
Williams will need to clear the various stages of the protocol if he hopes to play on Sunday. As for receiver Romeo Doubs, he remains in the concussion protocol, according to LaFleur. Doubs was injured in Week 12 against the 49ers. Although he has practiced three times in a limited role, he has yet to be cleared from the protocol.
The additional rest days could help these players, but it remains to be seen how the week will unfold. The Packers won’t practice until Wednesday when they will release their first injury report of the week.
Currently sitting at 9-4, Green Bay holds the sixth seed in the NFC due to the fierce competition in the NFC North. The Lions are 12-1, and the Minnesota Vikings are 11-2. The final four games will influence playoff seeding, starting with the Seahawks. The next few days will be crucial for the status of these three players.
