Packers-Bears Wednesday Injury Report: All Receivers Practice

GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers have used a revolving door of receivers for most of the season.

With a trip to the playoffs at stake on Sunday against the Chicago Bears, Jordan Love might have his full receiver corps on the field.

Christian Watson, who missed the last four games with a hamstring injury, practiced for the first time since going down late in the victory over Kansas City.

Dontayvion Wicks, who was out last week with the chest injury sustained late in the first half at Carolina, practiced after missing all three practices last week.

Record-setting rookie receiver Jayden Reed, who missed the second half last week with a chest injury sustained when he got crushed on a punt return, was back at practice, as well. Reed played two more series after the injury and capped the first half with his second touchdown of the day.

“It’s huge,” quarterback Jordan Love said of Reed’s impact. “Obviously, you see what he did. Two touchdowns; the second touchdown, just catching that route, making some guys miss, take it to the house. So, it’s awesome. I’m proud of him, just the way he’s competing, battling and growing every week. So, it’s awesome we can get him out there and get him the ball.”

Having all the receivers healthy and ready to go would be a huge plus as the Packers attack a powerful Chicago defense that leads the NFL in interceptions for the season and points allowed the last five games.

Five players did not head out for the start of practice: safety Rudy Ford, running back AJ Dillon, linebacker Isaiah McDuffie, left guard Elgton Jenkins and outside linebacker Preston Smith.

Dillon aggravated his broken thumb during the victory over the Vikings; the NBC cameras caught him screaming in pain at one point.

McDuffie suffered a concussion as part of a sack he shared with Colby Wooden. He was in the back of the Don Hutson Center riding an exercise bike. If McDuffie can’t play, veteran De’Vondre Campbell might be back in the lineup. After missing the last two games with a stinger, Campbell was back at practice.

Jenkins has been given a day off for several weeks. Late in Sunday’s game, he got hit from behind on a running play and missed the last four plays due to knee and ankle injuries. While the play looked bad, the injury is not expected to be a factor on Sunday.

This story will be updated at the completion of practice, when coach Matt LaFleur reveals the full injury report.
