Returning to action in Week 2 Lazard (ankle) is active for Sunday's contest versus the Bears, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Lazard sat out the Packers' season-opening loss at Minnesota after getting stepped on in practice between the end of the preseason and the beginning of Week 1 prep. He was able to return to practice in a limited capacity in advance of Week 2 action, even mixing into team drills at Friday's session. The preceding seemingly set Lazard up to be available Sunday, and indeed he is. He'll serve as Green Bay's top wide receiver moving forward, but even with Davante Adams out of town, it's unclear if Lazard will be able to attain weekly viability.

Expected to be available Sunday Lazard (ankle), who is listed as questionable, is expected to play Sunday against the Bears, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Lazard tweaked his ankle during the final weeks leading up to the regular season and was sidelined for Week 1, but he returned to limited practices this week and is expected to make his season debut against the Bears. However, nothing is official yet, which makes things difficult for fantasy managers who have to wait until the 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff for final confirmation. Assuming Lazard is available, he could be just the spark that Green Bay's offense needs after a sluggish start during the season-opening loss to the Vikings.

Questionable to face Bears Lazard (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Lazard was limited for a third straight day at Friday's practice, never quite progressing to full. He thus may need to be treated as a game-time decision, in which case the 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff is suboptimal for fantasy managers. With Lazard out Week 1, the Packers had four wide receivers (Sammy Watkins, Christian Watson, Randall Cobb, Romeo Doubs) land between a 57 and 67 percent snap share and 3-5 targets, which isn't exactly a rotation that's conducive to short-term fantasy value. Once he's available, Lazard will be the favorite to lead the group in snaps and targets.

Packers' receivers may not be ready. Leaning on runners could help them

Ready for team reps Lazard (ankle) is scheduled to take team reps at Friday's practice, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

Impact Lazard returned to a limited practice Wednesday after missing a couple weeks, then managed another limited practice Thursday. It could be more of the same Friday, though it sounds like the Packers are upping his activity level as they prepare for a matchup with the Bears on Sunday.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Second straight limited practice Lazard (ankle) practiced on a limited basis Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact For a second consecutive session, Lazard handled individual drills, at the very least, but there's still room for the Packers' top wide receiver to bump up to a full practice. He'll have a chance to do just that Friday, but considering he's made a pair of appearances this week, he could be trending toward making his season debut Sunday against the Bears after sitting out Week 1 due to an ankle injury.

Limited in return to practice Lazard (ankle) practiced on a limited basis Wednesday.

Impact Lazard's limited activity level in his first practice in roughly two weeks is no surprise as he continues to recover from getting his foot stepped on in an unofficial session. He'll have two more chances to jump up to full participation before the Packers will be required to give him a designation -- or not -- ahead of Sunday's game against the Bears.

Returning to practice Wednesday Head coach Matt LaFleur said Lazard (ankle) will return to practice Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Lazard sat out last Sunday's loss to Minnesota due to an ankle injury that he sustained when he got stepped on in practice between the final week of the preseason and the week leading up to the season opener. His absence was felt in the Week 1 loss, but getting back on the field Wednesday puts him on a path to suiting up this Sunday versus the Bears. Lazard's activity level will become known later Wednesday.
