Aaron Rodgers did not participate in the Packers’ Wednesday walkthrough, the team announced via their Jan. 4 injury report. Rodgers continues to nurse his injured thumb and knee as they set to host the Detroit Lions in Green Bay.

Rodgers was the only player on the Packers’ active roster that didn’t participate in practice Wednesday. It’s mostly a precautionary measure, and he is likely to practice in a limited capacity as the week ramps up.

Elsewhere on the report, defenders Krys Barnes and Rudy Ford were full participants, while six others were labeled as limited to the team during walkthrough including running back Aaron Jones and wide receiver Christian Watson.

Check out the full injury report below:

  • LB Krys Barnes (hand) – FP
