Green Bay Packers release final injury report ahead of Vikings game

The Green Bay Packers have released their final injury report ahead of Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings. The Packers are dealing with quite a few injuries, and some notable names are listed on the report.

Final Packers injury report vs. Vikings

Out: Offensive tackle David Bakhtiari (knee), wide receiver Malik Taylor (abdomen), running back Aaron Jones (knee).

The Packers will again be without offensive tackle David Bakhtiari, who is still working his way back from a torn ACL. Running back Aaron Jones suffered a knee injury in last week’s game. He will likely miss multiple weeks with the injury, paving the way for more involvement for young running back AJ Dillon. Malik Taylor was also ruled out with an abdomen injury.

Doubtful: Wide receiver Allen Lazard (shoulder).

Allen Lazard did not practice all week due to a shoulder injury. He is unlikely to play on Sunday, meaning that the Packers will be without two key offensive weapons against the Vikings.

Questionable: Linebacker Rashan Gary (elbow), Kingsley Keke (concussion).

Rashan Gary suffered an elbow injury last week against the Seahawks. He was able to practice all week, although in limited fashion. Gary currently leads the team with 19 quarterback hits and 5.5 sacks. His inclusion on the injury report is concerning for the Packers on defense. Kingsley Keke’s status is also uncertain as he works his way back from a concussion. He was limited on Wednesday and Thursday but was a full participant on Friday.

Quite a few players enter the weekend without an injury designation despite dealing with issues. Among those names is quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers, who just returned after a positive test for COVID-19, returned to practice in a limited capacity on Friday. That was his first on-field work in 18 days. Rodgers has been dealing with a toe injury. Packers head coach Matt LaFleur expects Rodgers to play against the Vikings.

“He looked good throwing the football,” LaFleur said Friday. “I’m confident he’ll be in a good place on Sunday.”

Davante Adams, Dominique Dafney, Equanimeous St. Brown, Eric Stokes, Mercedes Lewis, Darnell Savage, and Marquez Valdes-Scantling were all listed on the injury report but enter the weekend with no injury designation for the Packers.

The Vikings ruled out offensive guard Wyatt Davis and corner Bashaud Breeland for the game.
