The Green Bay Packers have released an updated injury report ahead of Sunday’s game against the Washington Football Team. Linebacker Preston Smith, cornerback Kevin King, and safety Darnell Savage are all listed as questionable for the game. Center Josh Myers and tackle Dennis Kelly have already been ruled out.

Preston Smith has yet to miss a game in his NFL career

With Smith listed as questionable, his streak of 107 consecutive games played since entering the league in 2015 is in jeopardy. Smith originally came into the league with Washington in 2015, and later signed with the Packers as a free agent a couple of seasons ago. He has played 107 consecutive games, including 102 in the regular season. The Packers list him as questionable due to an oblique injury.

“Certainly, he’s an important part of this football team and you want him there for the long haul,” head coach Matt LaFleur said of Smith. “(His availability) is solely going to be based upon how he’s feeling. I think that he’s come a long way but we’ll see how he feels on Sunday.”

King is dealing with a shoulder injury for the Packers. He has been a limited participant all week in practice. Savage did not practice on Wednesday due to a concussion, but he has been limited on Thursday and Friday. Kelly (back) and Myers (knee) were both held out of practice all week.

In positive news, wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown was not given an injury designation by the Packers. St. Brown has been dealing with a shoulder injury but has been a full participant in practice all week.

Washington is also dealing with the injury bug ahead of Sunday’s game against the Packers. Tackle Sam Cosmi, receivers Curtis Samuel and Cam Sims, and guard Brandon Scherff have all already been ruled out.
