Green Bay Packers rookie receiver Dontayvion Wicks cleared concussion protocol and was available to practice on Monday after missing last week’s win over the Detroit Lions.
Wicks suffered a concussion in the second half of the Packers’ Week 11 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. He was listed as questionable for Week 12 but ended up being unable to clear protocol before the Packers played the Lions on Thanksgiving Day.
Returning Monday should mean Wicks is available to play Sunday night against the Kansas City Chiefs, but he was dealing with a knee injury last week and the Packers won’t put out an official injury report until Wednesday.
In the three games prior to missing Week 12, Wicks caught 10 passes on 13 targets for 191 yards, including five catches of 20 or more yards.
Without Wicks available against the Lions, rookie Malik Heath caught all four of his targets for 46 yards and was the offense’s highest-graded player at PFF.
Wicks, a fifth-round pick, is second on the team in yards per catch (16.6) and first in yards per target (10.3). He has a catch of 30 or more yards in three games in 2023.
The Packers host the Chiefs on “Sunday Night Football” from Lambeau Field in Week 12.
