Zayne Anderson - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Won't play Sunday Anderson (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Eagles, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Anderson has yet to practice since sustaining a concussion in the Packers' Week 17 loss to the Vikings, so it's no surprise he'll be sidelined for the wild-card round. The BYU product is one of the Green Bay's key special teamers, as he's recorded 16 total tackles over 253 special-teams snaps this season. Kitan Oladapo is likely to serve as the Packers' top reserve safety with Anderson missing Sunday's contest.

Still sidelined Anderson (concussion) did not practice Wednesday, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.

Impact Anderson suffered a concussion during Week 17's loss to the Vikings and has been out of action since. He'll need to make it through the league's five-step protocols to get clearance to play in Sunday's wild-card game against the Eagles and may be running out of time to do so. He'll likely need to log a full practice with no setbacks by Friday to have any chance to suit up.
