The Packers have several injury concerns in their receiving corps, but at least one veteran will be on the field when the club plays the Bills on Sunday.

Green Bay’s final injury report of the week revealed that receiver Allen Lazard (shoulder) is out, receiver Christian Watson (hamstring) is questionable, and receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) has no game status and is set to play.

That Lazard is out is no surprise, given that he said earlier in the week that he was not expecting to play. Lazard did not practice on Friday after he also sat out the week’s first two sessions.

Head coach Matt LaFleur said Friday that he’s “cautiously optimistic” about Watson’s potential availability for Sunday. Watson was a limited participant in all three practices.

Watkins was also a limited participant in each practice this week.

Linebacker Rashan Gary (concussion) was a full participant in Friday’s practice and is questionable.

Offensive lineman Elgton Jenkins (knee) was limited on Thursday and Friday and is questionable. Left tackle David Bakhtiari (knee) was limited on Wednesday and Friday and is also questionable.

Cornerback Shemar Jean-Charles (ankle) did not practice all week and is out.

  1. Rodgers meltdown after this game could be epic but you know, his choice was to either practice with his teammates or go on a weekly podcast where he get’s to spout off about whatever he wants with no pushback.

    Guess which one he chose.

  2. Christian Watson is questionable alright….a questionable WR. Thank you, I’m here all week. Tip your waitress!

  3. I’m sure they’ll be fine as long as Sammy Watkins is back…even though when he runs, he looks like Jake Taylor from the movie Major League.

  4. You know they have Aaron Rodgers back there, but they lost to Washington last week in a bad football game. Outside of maybe 2 teams, the NFC is inferior to the AFC this year.

  5. Rodgers meltdown after this game could be epic but you know, his choice was to either practice with his teammates or go on a weekly podcast where he get’s to spout off about whatever he wants with no pushback.

    Rodgers does McAfee’s podcast on TUESDAYS,… Players DAY OFF.
