GREEN BAY PACKERS NEWS

Jordan Love - Back at practice Thursday Love (groin) practiced Thursday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Love made an early departure from Week 8 action in Jacksonville due to what eventually was termed a strained groin, leaving him day-to-day as a result. He wasn't able to practice Wednesday, but he also told Ryan Wood of USA Today that it was "realistic" for him to be able to play Sunday against the Lions. Love may just be testing out the state of his groin midweek, but with at least a limited session under his belt, he seemingly has put himself in a position to suit up this weekend. Malik Willis would get the nod under center if Love isn't able to go.

Jaire Alexander - Opens week as DNP Alexander (knee) didn't practice Wednesday.

Impact Alexander opening Green Bay's week of practice as a DNP comes as no surprise, as the All-Pro cornerback sustained a knee injury late in the Packers' Week 8 win over the Jaguars. He'll likely need to upgrade to at least limited practice participation either Thursday or Friday in order to play in the Packers' Week 9 divisional matchup against the Lions.

Evan Williams - Doesn't practice Wednesday Williams missed Wednesday's practice due to a hamstring injury.

Impact Williams sustained a hamstring injury in the first half of the Packers' Week 8 win over the Jaguars and did not return. Wednesday's DNP suggests the rookie safety from Oregon could be in jeopardy of missing Green Bay's Week 9 matchup against the Lions. Williams likely needs to upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday in order to suit up Sunday.

Jordan Love - 'Realistic" to play Sunday Love (groin), who didn't practice Wednesday, believes "it's realistic" for him to play Sunday against the Lions, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

Impact Love was diagnosed with a strained groin in the wake of getting injured this past Sunday at Jacksonville, leaving him day to day. Backup QB Malik Willis ended up directing the offense in the second half en route to a 30-27 win, and he would fill in for Love for a third time this season if the latter isn't cleared to suit up. Love would put himself in a better position to retain his starting role by returning to practice Thursday or Friday, and the Packers' first occasion in which to make a ruling on his availability for Sunday's contest will be on the final Week 9 injury report.

Josh Jacobs - Says he'll play this week Jacobs (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday but said he'll be ready for Sunday's game against Detroit, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Coach Matt LaFleur also hinted at the injury being minor, saying Wednesday that Jacobs "rolled" his ankle late in the fourth quarter and wanted to re-enter Sunday's 30-27 win over the Jaguars. The Packers held him out for the final few snaps but now seem optimistic about having Jacobs ready for an NFC North showdown this Sunday. QB Jordan Love (groin) appears in more danger of missing the game, which would put more of the offensive burden on Jacobs and the other pieces of Green Bay's running game (backup QB Malik Willis as well as backup RBs Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks).

Quay Walker - Past concussion Head coach Matt LaFleur told reporters Wednesday that Walker has cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Walker missed the Packers' Week 8 win over the Jaguars after sustaining a concussion the week prior, but it now appears he's moved past the issue. The 2022 first-round pick from Georgia has tallied 52 total tackles, including 1.5 sacks, through seven appearances this season. He's expected to start alongside Edgerrin Cooper as one of Green Bay's top inside linebackers in Week 9, when the Packers host the Lions.

Josh Jacobs - Misses practice with ankle injury Jacobs missed Wednesday's practice with an ankle injury he suffered toward the end of Sunday's 30-27 win at Jacksonville, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Coach Matt LaFleur said Jacobs wanted to go back into the game but was prevented from doing so on the final drive. The Packers ended up winning on a chip-shot field goal after a 51-yard connection between backup QB Malik Willis and Jayden Reed. There's an opportunity for Jacobs to be even more emphasized than usual in the Green Bay offense if his ankle injury clears up before QB Jordan Love's groin injury.

Josh Jacobs - Not spotted at Wednesday's practice Jacobs (undisclosed) is not participating in practice Wednesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Jacobs' absence may simply be related to load management, and Wednesday's official injury report will provide clarity on the star running back's health. Quarterback Jordan Love (groin) is also not practicing Wednesday and seems up-in-the-air for Week 9, making Jacobs' availability an even more pivotal factor than usual for the Packers' offense. Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks are both available behind Jacobs in the backfield for Green Bay.

Jordan Love - Not practicing Wednesday Love (groin) is not participating in Wednesday's practice, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

Impact Love got some work in on an exercise bike but did not ultimately take the practice field with teammates, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports. The starting quarterback was knocked out of Green Bay's win over Jacksonville in Week 7 due to a groin strain, for which he's been labeled day-to-day. It sounds like Love still has a chance to be available for Sunday's pivotal divisional matchup against Detroit, but he now has only two more opportunities to officially get on the practice field prior to Week 8 action. Malik Willis will start under center for the Packers in the event that Love can't go.
