Kingsley Keke - Ready for divisional-round game Keke did not appear on the Packers' injury report Tuesday ahead of the team's divisional round matchup with the 49ers on Saturday.
Impact Keke missed the Packers' regular-season finale against the Lions in Week 18 while dealing with an illness, but he appears healthy heading into the playoffs. The defensive end made a career-high 23 tackles while deflecting three passes and forcing a fumble in 12 games during the 2021 regular season.

Chandon Sullivan - Healthy for playoffs Sullivan was a full participant at Tuesday's practice.
Impact The cornerback suffered a knee injury in the Packers' Week 18 loss to the Lions, but it appears he is fully healthy for the team's divisional-round matchup with the 49ers after he didn't appear on Tuesday's injury report. Sullivan finished the 2021 regular season with 31 tackles, four pass deflections and three interceptions while appearing in all 17 games.

Jaire Alexander - Returns to practice Alexander (shoulder) was a limited participant at Tuesday's practice.
Impact The cornerback has been inactive since Week 4 while nursing a AC joint injury in his shoulder, and he was activated from injured reserve just ahead of Week 18. Alexander's ability to practice Tuesday is a step in the right direction for his chances to play Saturday against the 49ers, but his status the rest of the week will provide a clearer picture of his availability for the contest.

De'Vondre Campbell - Ready to go for Saturday Campbell logged a full practice Tuesday.
Impact The All-Pro first team selection missed the Packers' regular-season finale against the Lions in Week 18 while nursing an elbow issue, but he appears ready to go for Saturday's divisional-round matchup with the 49ers. Campbell finished his first season in Green Bay with a career-high 146 tackles while making two sacks and forcing a pair of fumbles in 16 games.

Billy Turner - Full participant Tuesday Turner was a full participant at Tuesday's practice.
Impact The right tackle was unavailable for Packers' regular-season finale in Week 18 after being placed on the COVID list Jan. 4, but he was activated last Monday during the team's playoff bye week. Additionally, Turner missed the last four games while dealing with a knee injury but his full practice Tuesday means he'll be back in the starting lineup for the Packers' divisional-round contest against the 49ers on Saturday.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling - Limited in return to practice Valdes-Scantling (back) was limited at Tuesday's practice.
Impact Valdes-Scantling was removed from a Week 18 loss to the Lions in the second quarter and eventually diagnosed with a back injury. He wasn't a part of the Packers' unofficial session last Wednesday, but with a week to rest up he's back on the field with a cap on his reps. Valdes-Scantling will have two more chances to get back to full before the team potentially gives him a designation for Saturday's divisional-round game against the 49ers.

Aaron Rodgers - Logs full practice Tuesday Rodgers (toe) was a full practice participant Tuesday.
Impact In his previous media availability last Wednesday, Rodgers relayed that his left pinkie toe wouldn't be a problem for him during the playoffs. With the Packers set to open their postseason run Saturday versus the 49ers, he opened the week of prep sans limitations on the practice field, which is a change from the norm established since he sustained a toe fracture during his stay on the reserve/COVID-19 list on either side of a Week 9 contest at Kansas City. Stretching back to Week 11, Rodgers put together 1,929 yards, 20 touchdowns and no interceptions in six-and-a-half games of action before taking a seat for the second half of the team's Week 18 defeat in Detroit.

Aaron Jones - Opens week with full practice Jones (knee) practiced fully Tuesday.
Impact Typically, Jones has had some sort of practice limitations at the first practice of the week since hurting his knee Week 10. With the benefit of the Packers' first-round bye, though, he was able to handle every rep during Tuesday's session, displaying his overall health. Jones and AJ Dillon thus are unimpeded as the team prepares for Saturday's divisional-round game against the 49ers.
