Dec 27, 2024
GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV)—Ahead of the Packers' (11-4) matchup with the division rival Vikings (13-2), the team held its final game-week practice without multiple big names participating, announcing their injury report on Friday afternoon.
Head coach Matt LaFleur held cornerback Jaire Alexander out of practice despite being a full participant for the last few weeks and then limited on Thursday with his knee injury.

Rookie safety Evan Williams was also unable to practice, as he was on a stationary bike while the team did its warmups. Williams missed Monday night's game against New Orleans, and he was also ruled out for Sunday with a quad injury.
Green Bay's other rookie safety, Javon Bullard, has missed the last two games after injuring his ankle against the Lions in Week 14; however, he practiced all week, albeit as a limited participant.
Wide receiver Christian Watson (knee) didn't practice this week, but LaFleur said the door is "still open" for him on Sunday. Offensive lineman Andre Dillard is out with a concussion and linebacker Quay Walker will also be out with an ankle injury.
