The Green Bay Packers ruled out running back MarShawn Lloyd and offensive lineman Jordan Morgan and listed cornerback Jaire Alexander and safety Evan Williams as questionable and defensive lineman Colby Wooden as doubtful on the final injury report before facing the Chicago Bears in Week 11.
How will the injury situation affect Sunday’s showdown?
Here’s an in-depth breakdown of the Packers’ final injury report ahead of Week 11:
Out (2)
RB MarShawn Lloyd (ankle/hamstring/abdomen): The terrible injury luck continues for Lloyd, who now has appendicitis and an unclear return timeline. He could miss multiple games if surgery was required to fix the internal problem. Without Lloyd for the foreseeable future, the Packers will continue to lean on Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks behind Josh Jacobs at running back.
OL Jordan Morgan (shoulder): Speaking of bad injury luck, Morgan injured his shoulder for the third time and is out indefinitely. He originally suffered the injury in training camp. After reinjuring the shoulder in Week 2, the Packers’ first-round pick missed three games. Morgan started at left guard in Week 9 and had been rotating with Sean Rhyan at right guard. The Packers’ top backup along the interior is now rookie Jacob Monk.
Doubtful (1)
DL Colby Wooden (shoulder): He didn’t practice all week while dealing with a shoulder injury and isn’t expected to play. The Packers could elevate a defensive lineman — such as Jonathan Ford — from the practice squad to help with depth up front against the Bears.
Questionable (2)
CB Jaire Alexander (knee): The Packers’ top corner returned to practice this week after missing Week 9 and got in three limited practices. While not 100 percent, he’s expected to play against the Bears. Eric Stokes, Carrington Valentine and Keisean Nixon have played the majority of perimeter snaps with Alexander not available this season.
S Evan Williams (hamstring): Like Alexander, Williams returned to practice this week and was limited in all three practices. The Packers would play Javon Bullard more at safety if Williams is at all limited on Sunday.
No status designation
The following players have no status designation and will be available to play on Sunday vs. the Bears: DL Kenny Clark, DE Kingsley Enagbare, RB Josh Jacobs, OL Elgton Jenkins, QB Jordan Love, C Josh Myers, LT Rasheed Walker.
Myers will attempt to play through a wrist injury. He was limited this week. Love was a full participant all week.
Bears injury report
The Bears ruled out starting left guard Teven Jenkins, who has an ankle injury, but the offensive line will return starting tackles Braxton Jones and Darnell Wright, who are good to go for Sunday. Edge rusher Montez Sweat is questionable, but he practiced in a full capacity on Friday. Former Packers defensive back Tarvarius Moore is questionable while still in concussion protocol. The Bears placed starting safety Jaquan Brisker on injured reserve.
