Packers inactives vs. Broncos: Who’s in, who’s out?

Aaron Jones and Elgton Jenkins are in. Jaire Alexander is out vs. the Broncos on Sunday.

The Green Bay Packers will be without two key starters on defense on Sunday against the Denver Broncos, but Jordan Love’s offense is getting a big boost with the return of running back Aaron Jones.

Cornerback Jaire Alexander and linebacker De’Vondre Campbell are both inactive. Jones and Elgton Jenkins, who were both questionable, are available. Quay Walker and Darnell Savage, who were both injured against the Raiders before the bye, are active as well.

Here’s a look at the inactive list for the Packers in Week 7:

Who’s in (active)?

RB Aaron Jones: He returns after missing three of the last four games. Big spark coming for the Packers offense?
LG Elgton Jenkins: He missed Friday’s practice but will play through a lingering knee issue.
LB Quay Walker: The second-year linebacker will also play through a knee injury.
S Darnell Savage: The calf injury suffered in Las Vegas won’t keep him out.
CB Eric Stokes: He’ll make his season debut on Sunday.
OT Yosh Nijman: The backup offensive tackle is active after injuring his knee on Thursday.

Who’s out (inactive)?

CB Jaire Alexander: His back injury will cause him to miss a third game in the last four.
LB De’Vondre Campbell: He’s been out since injuring his ankle in Week 3 vs. the Saints. Isaiah McDuffie will start.
S Zayne Anderson: He still hasn’t made his Packers debut.
OT Caleb Jones: Nijman is active, so Jones isn’t needed.
WR Malik Heath: The rookie receiver is a healthy scratch.

Demario Davis and Trevor Lawrence are both active for Thursday night’s game between the New Orleans Saints and Jacksonville Jaguars, having been listed as questionable to play on the final injury report while dealing with knee injuries.

Here’s who will be watching from the sidelines for New Orleans:

  • FS J.T. Gray (ruled out with injury)

New Orleans Saints report inactive players for Week 6 vs. Houston Texans

New Orleans Saints report inactive players for Week 6 vs. Houston Texans

The New Orleans Saints reported their list of inactive players for Week 6’s game with the Houston Texans, including several who were ruled out with injuries — most notably starting tight end Juwan Johnson (calf) who has missed the last three games. They’re also down backup safeties and special teams aces J.T. Gray and Lonnie Johnson with hamstring issues, with backup offensive tackle Landon Young ruled out due to a hip injury.

Here are the full lists of players who will be watching Sunday’s game from the sidelines:

9 of the Patriots’ 10 questionable players will suit up vs. Saints

The Patriots listed 10 players as questionable against the Saints due to injury, but 9 of them will suit up on Sunday afternoon:

There isn’t a better coach in the NFL at playing mind games than Bill Belichick. The New England Patriots head coach listed ten players as questionable for Week 5’s game with the New Orleans Saints due to injury — muddying the forecast of who might actually be available when the two teams kick off on Sunday afternoon.

But just one player out of that ten-man group will actually be sidelined because of injury: starting left guard Cole Strange, who has been dealing with a knee injury. The other nine players are all available, and several of them figure to have key roles in this week’s game plan.

Let’s hope the Saints are ready for it. Here’s who they must account for:

Saints report inactive players for Week 5 vs. Patriots

The New Orleans Saints reported their list of inactive players for Week 5’s game with the New England Patriots:

The New Orleans Saints reported their list of inactive players for Week 5’s game with the New England Patriots, though several players were pre-emptively ruled out due to injuries. Others, like left guard Andrus Peat (concussion), were questionable to play and ultimately were sidelined for Sunday’s matchup. But cornerback Paulson Adebo will return to the lineup after missing two games with a hamstring injury.

Here are the inactive lists from both teams:

Saints, Buccaneers report inactive players for Week 4 matchup

The Saints and Buccaneers reported their inactive players for their Week 4 matchup. Here’s who will be watching from the sidelines:

We’re closing in on the New Orleans Saints’ kickoff with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and both teams have released their lists of inactive players for Sunday’s game — though a number of players from each side were pre-emptively ruled out due to injuries.

Several key Buccaneers defenders were questionable to play with injuries, but they’ll all play: cornerback Carlton Davis, nose tackle Vita Vea, and linebacker Devin White. So will Saints quarterback Derek Carr who was also questionable because of an injury.

Here is who will be watching this matchup from the sidelines:

Analyzing the final Saints injury report vs. Bucs: Who’s in, who’s out?

Analyzing the final Saints injury report vs. Bucs: Who’s in, who’s out, and who has a chance to play?

The New Orleans Saints didn’t offer much clarity on their final Week 4 injury report — specifically on quarterback Derek Carr, who rested his injured throwing shoulder for the first few days of practice before participating on a limited basis Friday.

Carr is officially questionable to play against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but what about the other players listed on the injury report? What about the Bucs’ own injuries? Let’s consider who’s in, who’s out, and who has a chance to play on Sunday:

Jaire Alexander out, but Aaron Jones, Christian Watson both active for Packers vs. Lions

The Packers will return RB Aaron Jones and WR Christian Watson vs. the Lions, but CB Jaire Alexander headlines the inactive list for Week 4.

The Green Bay Packers are down several starters entering Thursday night’s showdown with the Detroit Lions, but Matt LaFleur’s team will return two dynamic playmakers on offense.

Running back Aaron Jones, who missed two games with a hamstring injury, and receiver Christian Watson, who will make his 2023 season debut after missing the first three games, are both active in Week 4.

Jones created 127 yards and two scores on 11 touches in the season opener in Chicago. Watson was one of the most productive touchdown scores in the NFL to end the 2022 season. Together, their returns provide a huge jolt for a Packers offense on Thursday night.

The highlight of the inactive list is cornerback Jaire Alexander, who will miss a second straight game with a back issue.

Of course, the Packers will also be without left tackle David Bakhtiari (IR, knee), left guard Elgton Jenkins (out, knee) and linebacker De’Vondre Campbell (out, ankle) against the Lions.

The good news at cornerback is rookie Carrington Valentine, who was questionable, is active. He’s playing through a biceps injury. The Packers also elevated Corey Ballentine and Kiondre Thomas from the practice squad.

Here’s the Packers’ inactive list for Week 4 vs. the Lions:

WR Malik Heath
CB Jaire Alexander
S Anthony Johnson Jr.
S Zayne Anderson
LB Brenton Cox Jr.
LB De’Vondre Campbell
G Elgton Jenkins

The Lions will be without starting safety Kerby Joseph, starting right guard Halapoulivaati Vaitai and starting cornerback Emmaneul Moseley. Offensive tackle Taylor Decker and running back David Montgomery are active.

Breaking down Packers’ incredible inactive list in Week 3 vs. Saints

The Packers won’t have RB Aaron Jones, WR Christian Watson, LT David Bakhtiari, LG Elgton Jenkins and CB Jaire Alexander vs. the Saints on Sunday.

The Green Bay Packers won’t have running back Aaron Jones, receiver Christian Watson, left tackle David Bakhtiari, left guard Elgton Jenkins and cornerback Jaire Alexander on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints in Week 3. All five starters are inactive.

Jones, Watson, Bakhtiari and Jenkins might be the team’s four best players on offense. Alexander is a two-time All-Pro at a premium defensive position.

Good luck, Jordan Love, in your first career start at Lambeau Field.

Here’s a breakdown of the Packers’ incredible inactive list in Week 3:

Packers inactive list vs. Saints includes 5 starters

The Packers will be without RB Aaron Jones, WR Christian Watson, LT David Bakhtiari, LG Elgton Jenkins and CB Jaire Alexander on Sunday vs. the Saints.

Getting a win in his first career start at Lambeau Field got incredibly more difficult for quarterback Jordan Love with the arrival of the inactive list for the Green Bay Packers on Sunday morning.

The Packers made running back Aaron Jones, receiver Christian Watson, left tackle David Bakhtiari, left guard Elgton Jenkins and cornerback Jaire Alexander — all key starters — inactive for Week 3.

Jones and Watson are still recovering from hamstring injuries. Bakhtiari missed last week with knee swelling and is out again. Jenkins hurt his knee in Atlanta and will miss multiple weeks. Alexander is dealing with a new back issue that put him on the injury report on Friday.

A.J. Dillon will start at running back. Rookies Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks will get more snaps at receiver. Rasheed Walker is the likely starter at left tackle. Royce Newman is the likely starter at left guard. Rookie Carrington Valentine will get perimeter snaps at cornerback.

Can the Packers overcome the absences of five key players and knock the Saints from the ranks of unbeaten on Sunday?

Love, after starts in Kansas City, Chicago and Atlanta, will finally get a chance to start at Lambeau Field on Sunday. He will have to navigate around not having his top running back, top recevier, top two offensive linemen, plus the Packers defense won’t have its top coverage player.

Safety Zayne Anderson, who has an injured hamstring, and rookie safety Anthony Johnson Jr. are also inactive.
