The Packers are getting healthier at wide receiver.

James Jones, the receiver who missed the last two weeks with a knee injury, is active and will play tonight against the Bears. Jones had been listed as questionable for this week.

Having Jones back will be good for Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, although he’s still without a couple other favorite targets, receiver Randall Cobb (who is on injured reserve designated for return) and tight end Jermichael Finley (who is inactive with a neck injury).

The Packers’ other inactives are WR Chris Harper, CB James Nixon, LB Clay Matthews, LB Nick Perry, DE Josh Boyd and DE C.J. Wilson.

The Bears’ inactives are QB Jay Cutler, LB Lance Briggs, WR Joe Anderson, G James Brown, OT Jonathan Scott, DE Cornelius Washington and DT Zach Minter.
