DONTAYVION WICKS NEWS

Not playing Sunday Wicks (chest/ankle) is listed as inactive Sunday at Minnesota, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Wicks was knocked out of last Sunday's win at Carolina with a chest injury, which kept him off the practice field until Friday. After the Packers listed him as questionable for Week 17 action, coach Matt LaFleur told Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com that Wicks was "very limited" in Friday's session, and the lack of activity likely swayed the team to hold out the rookie fifth-round pick this weekend. With Christian Watson (hamstring) also out Sunday, Green Bay's options at wide receiver are Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Malik Heath, Samori Toure and Bo Melton.

Ruled out of Sunday's game Wicks (chest) won't return to Sunday's game in Carolina, Pete Dougherty of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

Impact Wicks took a hit as he was tumbling into the end zone at the end of a 21-yard touchdown catch just before halftime. Afterward, he was seen in visible pain on the sideline, seeming to favor the right side of his chest, and team doctors ultimately wouldn't clear him to reenter the contest. Wicks thus will finish Week 16 with two catches (on two targets) for 29 yards and the aforementioned score. The Packers' receiving corps is banged up at the moment, with both Christian Watson (hamstring) and Jayden Reed (toe/chest) inactive, so Romeo Doubs, Malik Heath, Samori Toure and Bo Melton are the remaining healthy options at the position.

Paces pass catchers in loss Wicks secured six of seven targets for 97 yards in the Packers' 34-20 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Impact The rookie became the latest young Packers pass catcher to enjoy a breakout effort, with the fifth-round pick setting new career highs in receptions and receiving yards. Wicks now has two 90+ yard tallies in the last four games overall, and he could have a chance at another busy afternoon in Week 16 road battle versus the Panthers if fellow rookie Jayden Reed (toe) and/or Christian Watson (hamstring) miss the contest.

Limited practice Thursday Wicks (ankle) was limited at practice Thursday.

Impact Wicks started Week 15 prep with a DNP on Wednesday's estimated injury report, but he mixed back into drills one day later despite dealing with what the Packers thought was a high-ankle injury after Monday's defeat at the Giants, per Lauren Hembrecht of WFRV Green Bay. If Wicks has such a sprain, he typically would be in line for an absence of some type, but his ability to practice Thursday may mean he has a chance to play Sunday versus the Buccaneers. With Christian Watson (hamstring) not logging any on-field work so far this week and Jayden Reed (ankle) limited, Romeo Doubs, Malik Heath and Samori Toure currently are the only healthy wide receivers on the Packers' active roster.

DECEMBER 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as DNP on Wednesday Wicks (ankle) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report.

Impact According to Lauren Hembrecht of WFRV Green Bay, Wicks is believed to be dealing with a high-ankle injury in the wake of Monday's loss at the Giants, so his listed DNP to begin Week 15 prep doesn't come as much of a surprise. Wicks may be hard-pressed to log any on-field work at all Thursday and/or Friday, after which the Packers may make a ruling on his status ahead of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. Fellow wide receivers Christian Watson (hamstring, DNP) and Jayden Reed (ankle, LP) also made appearances on Wednesday's injury report, leaving just Romeo Doubs, Malik Heath and Samori Toure as Green Bay's healthy options at the position at the moment.

Back in action Sunday Wicks (knee) is active for Sunday's game versus the Chiefs, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Wicks missed the Packers' Week 12 win at Detroit on Thanksgiving due to a concussion and a knee injury. While he made it through the protocol for head injuries as of last Monday, he remained limited in practice during Week 13 prep as a result of the other concern. Now that he's been cleared to play again, Wicks will serve as Green Bay's fourth wide receiver behind Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs and Jayden Reed (chest).

Limited in practice Wednesday Wicks was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury.

Impact Wicks sustained a concussion near the end of the Packers' Week 11 win against the Chargers, and a knee injury also appeared on the team's Week 12 practice reports, capping him to one limited showing at last Wednesday's walkthrough. In the end, he didn't have enough time to get through the protocol for head injuries, but coach Matt LaFleur revealed Monday that Wicks had cleared its five phases, per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com. Having said that, the knee issue still is impacting Wicks' on-field work, so his status will continue to be watched as the weekend draws closer.

Sitting out Thursday Wicks (concussion/knee) is inactive for Thursday's game at Detroit, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Considering Wicks was listed as limited only one time during Week 12 prep, he was a long shot to clear the concussion protocol on a short week. With the rookie fifth-round pick sidelined, Malik Heath, Samori Toure and Bo Melton will be the Packers' options at wide receiver behind Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs and Jayden Reed (chest).

NOVEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Week 12 Wicks (concussion/knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's contest in Detroit, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact After emerging from Sunday's victory against the Chargers with a concussion and knee injury, Wicks was limited to one capped walkthrough (Wednesday) this week. He thus seems less than questionable to be able to suit up Thursday, but his status won't be clarified until about 90 minutes before a 12:30 p.m. ET kickoff. Assuming Wicks doesn't suit up, Malik Heath, Samori Toure and Bo Melton will be the options to serve as the Packers' fourth wide receiver behind the top trio of Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs and Jayden Reed (chest).

NOVEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Remains listed as DNP Wicks (concussion/knee) was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's estimated injury report.

Impact Wicks was evaluated for a head injury in the later stages of this past Sunday's win against the Chargers, and he wouldn't have practiced Monday or Tuesday if the Packers had held sessions due to the combination of a concussion and a knee issue. He thus appears unlikely to gain clearance to play Thursday at Detroit, which may be confirmed when Green Bay posts its final Week 12 practice report Wednesday. With Jayden Reed showing up as limited on Tuesday's report due to a chest concern, the team's current healthy wide receivers are Christian Watson (shoulder, FP on Tuesday), Romeo Doubs, Malik Heath and Samori Toure.

Getting concussion check Wicks is under evaluation for a head injury during Sunday's contest versus the Chargers.

Impact Wicks made the most of his five targets in Week 11, turning them into three catches for 91 yards. Having said that, he got a concussion check inside of the two-minute warning, so a diagnosis may not be confirmed before Sunday's game concludes.

Records season-high 49 yards Wicks was targeted four times and caught four passes for 49 yards in Sunday's 20-3 victory over the Rams.

Impact Wicks drew four targets for the second time in as many games, and the 49 yards he put up were the most he has accrued in his rookie season. Despite the recent activity he remains pretty clearly Green Bay's fourth option at the wideout spot when everyone is healthy. However, he could bump up a notch against a below-average Steelers pass defense in Week 10 if fellow receiver Christian Watson (upper body) is unable to go.
