Starting left tackle David Bakhtiari needs more time to recover from an emergency appendectomy, but the Green Bay Packers are otherwise healthy going into Week 15’s showdown with the Los Angeles Rams.
While Bakhtiari was ruled out and won’t play, he was the only Packers player listed with an injury designation on the final injury report released Saturday.
Rookie Zach Tom is expected to start in Bakhtiari’s place at left tackle.
The Packers will return rookie receiver Romeo Doubs, who missed the last four games with an ankle injury, and safety Darnell Savage, who missed one game with a foot injury.
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers, running back Aaron Jones, left guard Elgton Jenkins, linebacker Krys Barnes, safety Rudy Ford and outside linebacker Kingsley Enagbare don’t have an injury designation and will play Monday night.
The Packers are coming out of the bye and will be as healthy in Week 15 as they’ve been all season.
Will it translate into a winning performance on the field? The visitors on Monday night won’t be nearly as healthy.
The Rams will be without defensive tackle Aaron Donald, defensive tackle Marquise Copeland, linebacker Travin Howard, defensive back David Long Jr. and quarterback John Wolford. All five were ruled out on Saturday. Quarterback Matthew Stafford and receivers Cooper Kupp and Allen Robinson are on injured reserve.
