Packers return LB Quay Walker, WR Dontayvion Wicks to practice on Thursday

Of the five players estimated as non-participants for the Green Bay Packers on Wednesday, two returned in a limited capacity on Thursday.

Linebacker Quay Walker (shoulder) and receiver Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) were able to participate on Thursday, keeping the door open to both playing Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Packers did downgrade one player on Thursday: left guard Elgton Jenkins did not practice, but he missed practice last week and played through a shoulder injury.

The Packers were still without running back A.J. Dillon (thumb), receiver Christian Watson (hamstring) and safety Darnell Savage (shoulder) on Thursday. Dillon has a broken thumb and his status is uncertain for Sunday; Watson isn’t expected to practice on Friday and has to be considered unlikely to play for a second consecutive week.

Running back Aaron Jones was able to get in another limited practice and could be on track to return Sunday.

Coach Matt LaFleur said the Packers had 15 minutes of individual position work and otherwise walked through the rest of practice on Thursday.

The Buccaneers upgraded cornerback Jamel Dean and linebacker Devin White to full participation on Thursday.
