The Green Bay Packers listed starting defensive lineman Dean Lowry as questionable and ruled out rookie backup offensive tackle Yosh Nijman, but the team’s final injury report for Week 16 shows an otherwise healthy football team heading into Monday night’s showdown with the Minnesota Vikings.
Lowry, who intercepted Mitchell Trubisky in the fourth quarter of last week’s win over the Chicago Bears, has an ankle injury, but he practiced in full on Saturday and looks on track to play.
Keep in mind, roughly 75 percent of players listed as questionable by the Packers have gone on to play this season. Lowry, who has started all 14 games for the Packers, should have a great chance of playing against the Vikings.
Seven other players on the Packers injury report this week were not given injury designations and will play on Monday night. Once again, the Packers are a remarkedly healthy football team entering the final two weeks of the 2019 season.
The Vikings already ruled out Pro Bowl running back Dalvin Cook, and backup Alexander Mattison is questionable.
Veteran tight ends Jimmy Graham and Marcedes Lewis were both listed as limited participants on Saturday’s practice, but the Packers have continually kept their work limited during practices in an effort to keep them healthy and fresh for games.
Cornerback Kevin King, the last Packers starter to miss a game with an injury, was a full participant all week and will play.
