The Green Bay Packers have released their final injury report ahead of Sunday’s matchup against the Washington Football Team. Green Bay will be without a couple of contributors on both sides of the ball. Kickoff for Sunday’s game is set for 1 p.m. ET at Lambeau Field.

Final Packers injury report vs. Washington

Inactives: LB Preston Smith, CB Kevin King, S Vernon Scott, DL Jack Heflin, OT Dennis Kelly.

The Packers will be without two key contributors on the offensive line against Washington due to injury. Green Bay placed starting center Josh Myers on injured reserve late in the week. He had been dealing with a finger injury, but left last week’s game with a knee injury. Myers’ injury is not likely to end his season. He will be first eligible to return on Nov. 14 against the Seattle Seahawks.

Additionally, offensive Dennis Kelly was ruled out early in the week with a back injury. Neither Kelly or Myers practiced this week.

On the Packers’ Friday injury report, linebacker Preston Smith, cornerback Kevin King and safety Darnell Savage were all listed as questionable. Smith is dealing with an oblique injury. He has played in 107 consecutive games since entering the league in 2015, and that streak will be snapped. Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that Smith would test himself pregame to see if he can play through his injury against Washington, his former team.

“Certainly, he’s an important part of this football team and you want him there for the long haul,” LaFleur said of Smith earlier in the week. “(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 has been dealing with a shoulder injury and was a limited participant in practice all week. Savage missed Wednesday’s practice with a concussion, but he was limited Thursday and Friday.

Washington is also dealing with the injury bug. Two key offensive linemen in Sam Cosmi and Brandon Scherff will miss the game, as will receivers Curtis Samuel and Cam Sims and cornerback William Jackson.
