Green Bay Packers release Friday Injury Report for Week 16 matchup vs. Miami Dolphins

The Green Bay Packers released their final injury report on Friday for their Week 16 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. The two teams are slated to play on Christmas Day, Sunday, December 25th. Packers’ left tackle David Bakhtiari is listed as doubtful for the game. He’s missed the past two games after undergoing an emergency appendectomy. Bakhtiari hasn’t been healthy for much of the 2022 season and has been dealing with knee issues for much of the past two years. Everybody else on the Packers injury report got in at least a limited practice session on Friday.

Packers’ star running back Aaron Jones got in limited practice sessions on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. He wasn’t given a status for Sunday’s game. Jones has been limited in recent weeks, but has still played. He ran for 90 yards last week against the Rams, so it’s clear that the Packers’ coaching staff is just being cautious with him in practice. Jones is a critical piece to their offense, so it makes perfect sense. Another key Green Bay offensive lineman, tackle Elgton Jenkins was limited in practice on Thursday and Friday. Packers’ safety Rudy Ford was a full practice participant on Friday after being limited on Wednesday and Thursday. He snatched two interceptions in the Dallas game on Nov. 13.

Packers’ tight end Marcedes Lewis was a full participant on Friday, despite resting on Wednesday and Thursday. He’s received veteran rest for much of the season, so that’s not out of the normal for him. Lewis has hauled in one touchdown this year in limited action. Last, but not least, Packers’ star quarterback Aaron Rodgers was a full practice participant on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. He’s been dealing with a fractured right thumb and injured ribs. Rodgers has put up decent numbers this year, considering the circumstances and injuries he’s been dealing with.
