Latest Injury Report News and Updates
Both the Packers and Eagles had injury concerns with their starting quarterbacks entering the week, but both Jordan Love and Jalen Hurts are cleared to play Sunday. Love logged two full practices this week with a right elbow injury. Hurts was making his way through the concussion protocol but was cleared this week after also practicing in full on Thursday and Friday.
Safety Zayne Anderson (concussion) and wide receiver Christian Watson (knee) are both out. Watson is out for the season with a torn ACL, which he suffered in the season finale against the Bears. His status for the start of the 2025 season is questionable.
The Packers also placed cornerback Jaire Alexander on injured reserve with a knee injury. He had been out since Week 11 as the injury never fully healed in time for him to play or heal the way he and the team wanted it to.
A handful of Packers are listed as questionable: defensive lineman Brenton Cox Jr. (foot), offensive tackle Andre Dillard (concussion), defensive lineman Tedarrell Slaton (ankle), linebacker Quay Walker (ankle) and safety Evan Williams (quadriceps). Dillard practiced in full on Friday while the others were all limited.
The Eagles are in a fortunate spot with their injury report. Only two players, guard Trevor Keegan (illness) and defensive tackle Byron Young (hamstring), are listed as out. Young is still in his 21-day practice window to return from injured reserve.
Wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) did not practice on Thursday, and DeVonta Smith (back) did not practice on Friday. The Eagles were just being cautious with their two top receivers. Both are good to go for Sunday.
The only other active Eagle besides Keegan and Smith not to practice in full was quarterback Kenny Pickett, who was limited all week with the rib injury he has had for a few weeks now.
