The Green Bay Packers made five players inactive for Sunday’s NFC Wild Card Round showdown with the Philadelphia Eagles.
The big news: Linebacker Quay Walker, safety Evan Williams and defensive lineman TJ Slaton are all active and available despite being listed as questionable. The starting trio will be important for the spine of the Packers defense against 2,000-yard rusher Saquon Barkley. Walker and Williams are returning after missing three straight games to end the regular season.
Receiver Christian Watson (knee) and safety Zayne Anderson (concussion) were both ruled out on Friday’s injury report. Offensive tackle Andre Dillard — who is coming off a concussion — and tight end Ben Sims are also inactive, and quarterback Sean Clifford is inactive as the emergency third quarterback.
Sims played in all 17 regular season games but is a healthy scratch for Sunday. John FitzPatrick is active as the third tight end behind Tucker Kraft and Luke Musgrave.
The Packers are also returning defensive end Brenton Cox Jr., who missed the season finale but had four sacks in his final seven games of 2024.
The Packers and Eagles kick off from Lincoln Financial Field at 3:30 p.m. CT.
