GREEN BAY – The Packers have listed five questionable and ruled five players out for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears at Lambeau Field.
Those questionable are receivers Jayden Reed (shoulder/foot) and Matthew Golden (wrist), safety Javon Bullard (ankle), cornerback Nate Hobbs (knee) and defensive lineman Brenton Cox Jr. (groin).
Green Bay has ruled out receiver Savion Williams (foot), running back MarShawn Lloyd (calf), and defensive linemen Lukas Van Ness (foot), Devonte Wyatt (ankle) and Collin Oliver (hamstring).
Reed and Cox are currently designated to return from injured reserve and need to be added to the 53-man roster on Saturday in order to play against the Bears on Sunday. Like Cox, Lloyd (IR) and Oliver (physically unable to perform) also returned to practice Monday.
The Packers opened Reed's 21-day practice window on Nov. 21, meaning he has until next Friday to be activated. The third-year receiver hasn't played since breaking his collarbone against Washington in Week 2.
"I hope so," said Head Coach Matt LaFleur when asked before practice Friday if Reed could play against Chicago. "We're still kind of going through that process of being fully cleared medically."
Bullard has been Green Bay's nickelback for all 12 games this season, recording 59 tackles, two passes defensed and a fumble recovery.
The second-year safety was in pads Wednesday but didn't practice on either Thursday or Friday because of the ankle injury Bullard suffered in a 31-24 win over Detroit on Thanksgiving.
"He just was having some lingering effects," LaFleur said. "We thought it would be best to shut him down and see how he progresses throughout the course of the week. He will not practice today, but as far as the game is concerned, I would say it's up in the air."
Hobbs would be a possible replacement for Bullard, but his situation is also uncertain after missing the last three games.
Both linebacker Quay Walker (neck) and defensive lineman Karl Brooks (ankle) are good to go after not receiving game statuses for Sunday. Walker returns after missing two games while Brooks sat out against the Lions.
Along with Walker and Brooks, the following Packers players also will be available Sunday: running back Josh Jacobs (knee), quarterback Jordan Love (left shoulder), receiver Dontayvion Wicks (ankle), linebacker Edgerrin Cooper (shoulder), defensive lineman Barryn Sorrell (ankle), tackle Zach Tom (back) and guard Aaron Banks (veteran rest).
The Bears ruled out receiver Rome Odunze (foot), cornerback Tyrique Stevenson (hip) and linebacker Ruben Hyppolite (shoulder). Odunze leads Chicago with 44 catches for 661 yards and six touchdowns in 12 starts.
The Bears didn't issue a game status for the following players who will be available: linebacker T.J. Edwards (hand/hamstring), running back Kyle Monangai (ankle), defensive lineman Andrew Billings (concussion), cornerback Jaylon Johnson (groin), defensive lineman Dominique Robinson (concussion), linebacker Noah Sewell (elbow), guard Joe Thuney (veteran rest).
