GREEN BAY – The Packers have listed cornerback Jaire Alexander (shoulder), and linebackers Rashan Gary (shoulder) and Quay Walker (groin) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Safety Rudy Ford is doubtful with the biceps injury that held him out of practice this week.
Gary was added to the injury report as a limited participant on Friday. Head Coach Matt LaFleur said there isn't "long-term concern," but the close turnaround warranted his questionable designation.
"Unfortunately, there was a little mishap at practice and we'll see where he's at on Sunday," LaFleur said. "I would say it's not major. Obviously with him being questionable, we'll see (but it's) not anything long term that we're concerned about."
Alexander has missed four games this season due to back and shoulder injuries, with the latter causing him to miss last Sunday's game in Pittsburgh.
Alexander returned to practice on a limited basis Thursday. Walker, who missed the past two games with a groin injury, was limited in practice all week.
Ford played all 65 defensive snaps against the Steelers but did not practice this week. Rookie Anthony Johnson Jr. had two passes defensed and an interception in a spot start against Minnesota when Ford was sidelined with a calf injury earlier this month.
"He did a great job," said LaFleur of Johnson Jr. "He had a huge takeaway on the tipped pass, so I thought he played at a really high level and I think he's a good young player that continues to, the more experience he gets the better he shows."
The Packers didn't issue a game status for the following players who are expected to be available: defensive lineman Kenny Clark (shoulder), guard Elgton Jenkins (knee), running back Aaron Jones (hamstring), tackle Yosh Nijman (back), guard Jon Runyan (neck) and receiver Christian Watson (shoulder).
The Chargers ruled out tight end Gerald Everett (chest) and safety JT Woods (non-football illness list). Receivers Keenan Allen (shoulder) and Jalen Guyton (groin), and running back Isaiah Spiller (illness) are questionable, though Allen was listed as full participation on Friday.
LA didn't issue a game status for the following players who are expected to be available: linebacker Joey Bosa (hand), safety Alohi Gilman (elbow), tackle Rashawn Slater (knee), defensive tackle Sebastian Joseph-Day (knee) and tight end Donald Parham (hip).
