Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur said linebacker De’Vondre Campbell, who has missed two straight games with an ankle injury, is unlikely to return on Sunday against the Denver Broncos.
Campbell missed practice on Wednesday.
“I would say he’s probably more doubtful this week. We’ll see where he’s at. Obviously, give him up to game time to prove (he can play),” LaFleur said Wednesday.
Campbell, a 2021 All-Pro, was originally injured in Week 3 against the New Orleans Saints.
LaFleur initially expressed optimism that Campbell could return coming out of the bye, but he said he’s still “working through” the injury process to open Week 7. LaFleur did confirm that Campbell did not suffer a setback.
Without Campbell, the Packers will lean on Isaiah McDuffie and Eric Wilson at linebacker next to Quay Walker, who returned to practice on Wednesday after dealing with a knee injury against the Las Vegas Raiders before the bye.
Campbell played in all 16 games each season between 2017 and 2021, but he missed four games to injury in 2022 and will likely miss his third game in 2023 on Sunday.
A first injury report for Packers-Broncos in Week 7 will arrive later Wednesday afternoon.
