Green Bay Packers release Thursday injury report vs Miami Dolphins
After a big Monday Night Football win to stay in the playoff conversation, the Green Bay Packers now have another tough task ahead this week with the high-powered Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium. They’re dealing with some injuries, though.
Green Bay released its Thursday injury report ahead of the game and saw four players practice in a limited capacity. The most notable name on that list was running back Aaron Jones, who’s dealing with a knee injury and was also limited in Wednesday’s walk-through. It’s not all bad news, though, as offensive lineman Elgton Jenkins went from a non-participant in the walk-through on Wednesday to a limited participant in practice on Thursday.
Linebacker Krys Barnes and quarterback Aaron Rodgers were both full participants despite their respective injuries, while running back AJ Dillon was removed from the injury report as he exited concussion protocol. Dillon suffered the injury late in the Monday Night Football game against the Los Angeles Rams and entered concussion protocol shortly thereafter.
Tight end Marcedes Lewis missed practice Thursday, but didn’t have an injury designation. He had a veteran rest day.
Green Bay is coming off a key victory over the struggling Rams Monday night at Lambeau Field and remain in the hunt for a playoff spot. It won’t be easy for the Packers to make the field, especially since they has to win out to do so, but the possibility is still there. That quest for the postseason starts with a Christmas Day showdown with the Dolphins.
Here’s Green Bay’s full injury report for Thursday.
