Green Bay Packers receiver Romeo Doubs, who left the action against the Philadelphia Eagles in the Packers’ loss on Monday Night Football with a chest injury, was a full participant in Green Bay’s walkthrough on Wednesday. Yes, the Packers had a walkthrough instead of a full practice to start the week, even though the team had a typical Tuesday off yesterday during the short week.
Outside of the Doubs news, here’s what you need to know from both the Packers’ and New York Giants’ injury reports.
Both Lukas Van Ness and Nate Hobbs, who were inactive last week against the Eagles, remain injured. As long as they are out, expect Kingsley Enagbare to continue to fill the DE3 role behind Micah Parsons and Rashan Gary, while Keisean Nixon and Carrington Valentine are the full-time starting cornerbacks. Previously, Hobbs had rotated with Valentine, and even started outright over Valentine, this season.
There are no new injuries here, but it’s worth noting that both starting linebacker, Quay Walker and Edgerrin Cooper, were full participants in the Packers’ Saturday practice but reverted back to being estimated as limited on Wednesday. This could mean that their injuries are just issues that might need to be managed throughout the week at this point.
Matthew Golden was the only player in this group who didn’t suit up against the Eagles. He was a non-participant on both Friday and Saturday practices last week, so it’s a semi-positive sign that he’s being listed as limited.
Players who no longer appear on the injury report are:
See, not everything needs to be negative.
It is already the expectation that Jameis Winston is going to start for the Giants on Sunday because of Jaxson Dart’s concussion. If Gano can’t go, the Giants have THREE practice squad kickers: Younghoe Koo, Ben Saults and Jude McAtamney. Last week, Koo stepped into the lineup and went 2/2 for the Giants with a long of 32 in New York’s loss to the Chicago Bears.
Update: The Giants have placed Gano on the injured reserve.
