Packers Thursday injury report vs Giants
Did not participate — TE Marcedes Lewis (rest), DL Devonte Wyatt (quadricep)
Wyatt was limited on Wednesday, but was downgraded to a DNP on Thursday as he deals with a quad injury. The former Georgia star has two tackles to his name this season.
Lewis was a new addition to the injury report, but it turned out to be a veteran rest day.
Limited participants — S Adrian Amos (concussion), T David Bakhtiari (knee), S Tariq Carpenter (abdomen), G/T Elgton Jenkins (knee), WR Allen Lazard (ankle), C/G Josh Myers (foot)
Multiple Packers were limited on Thursday, but some could be nearing a return. Amos didn’t participate in practice Wednesday, but was back on the field Thursday as he works his way back from a concussion. But the biggest pieces to watch are Bakhtiari and Lazard, who are two important players for Aaron Rodgers and the offense.
Full participant — CB Jaire Alexander (groin)
It wasn’t all bad news on the injury report. Alexander was back to a full participation after being limited on Wednesday, a good sign as he grapples with a groin injury. He has Green Bay’s lone interception this season and is an instrumental part of the defense.
