Green Bay Packers vs. Philadelphia Eagles: Inactives for NFC Wild Card matchup

The Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles have released their list of inactives for Sunday’s NFC Wild Card Round matchup at Lincoln Financial Field.

Green Bay Packers inactives

QB Sean Clifford (3rd QB)
WR Christian Watson
S Zayne Anderson
OT Andre Dillard
TE Ben Sims

Philadelphia Eagles inactives

QB Tanner McKee (3rd QB)
CB Eli Ricks
DB Lewis Cine
OL Nick Gates
OT/G Darian Kinnard
G Trevor Keegan
WR Ainias Smith

The Packers will have quarterback Jordan Love in the lineup after he suffered an elbow injury in last Sunday’s regular season finale against the Chicago Bears. Love said Wednesday, via The Athletic, that he was “hopeful” he would be able to play against the Eagles. He added that the numbness in his hand disappeared Monday, and he was having no issues gripping the football. The Packers and Love are obviously hoping that the numbness doesn’t return as the elbow injury was causing issues with his throwing motion.

Absent is Watson, who sustained a torn ACL in the loss to Chicago. Watson is a big-play threat in Green Bay’s offense and without him, the Packers need others to step up such as Bo Melton and Malik Heath.

“Christian is our guy. We love Christian to death,” Melton said earlier this week. “To see that go down, it hurt me to my heart. Obviously, we gotta step up as a group but having Christian is definitely a big part of this.”
