Sam Eguavoen Jersey . Will he be activated from the physically unable to perform list?Thats what Im hopeful for, coach Matt LaFleur said on Monday, one day after a 13-7 lo s at the Kansas City Chiefs. As far as whether or not hes available on Sunday, well give him the week to kind of figure that out. Were hopeful but, again, were going to make sure that the time is right for Dave, for us, for everybody involved.Asked if theres a chance Bakhtiari wouldnt be activated and instead would wind up on season-ending injured reserve, LaFleur said, I doubt that.Bakhtiari suffered a torn ACL at practice on New Years Eve. Had he played on Sunday against the Chiefs, it would have
Emmanuel Ogbah Jersey been exactly 10 months since his surgery.The Packers lost two defensive starters on Sunday. One of them, rookie cornerback Eric Stokes, suffered a knee injury during pregame warmups and did not play. Kevin King, who had mi sed the previous three games with a shoulder injury, returned and helped anchor the Packers impre sive pa s defense. Nothing that were too concerned about as far as long term. Well see where hes at as we progre s through the week, LaFleur said of Stokes.Scroll to ContinueDefensive tackle Kenny Clark, who had been back to his Pro Bowl form of 2019, suffered a back injury late in the
Miami Dolphins Home Office first half and was limited to 24 snaps. LaFleur didnt have any long-term concerns but his status for Sunday was uncertain.As for Rodgers, he and the coaches are about to embark on an unprecedented week.I have never been through this situation, LaFleur said.Rodgers tested positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday and was unavailable to face Kansas City. So long as hes been asymptomatic for 24 hours and gets the green light from a physician, hell be . Plenty of players have played without practice. Rodgers did it in back-to-back weeks after suffering a knee injury in the 2018 opener vs. the Chicago Bears. Rodgers at least was
Nat Moore Jersey in the facility and on the practice field for those games. This week, hell be working from home and participating in team meetings via Zoom. Love, obviously, will run the offense on the practice field.While the a sumption is Rodgers will be healthy and starting, it is the great unknown. So, LaFleur and his staff will be concocting a game plan without knowing who will be the quarterback.There could be a situation where we have some specific plays for either quarterback, LaFleur said. Youre preparing both of them for the way you want to attack a certain defense. I think a lot of it comes down to situationally in terms of third down, red zone, just because Jordan hasnt had a lot of the same experience with some of those plays as Aaron. But I think itll be a healthy mix. You always have to prepare for either guy to be available, so youve got to have a healthy mix that theyre both comfortable with.Seattle quarterback Ru sell Wilson will return to the
