Packers LB Edgerrin Cooper is believed to have torn his left Achilles' tendon in Sunday's win over the Bucs. That would obviously end his season.

Update: Testing confirmed the Achilles' tear.

Packers LB Quay Walker is inactive for today's game against the Lions. It'll be his second straight missed game with a neck injury. Isaiah McDuffie filled in last week -- and after Walker left Week 11 early -- and has delivered good fantasy numbers. He jumps into the top 30 of our Week 13 LB ranks with Walker out. CB Keisean Nixon is active after entering the day questionable.

The Packers left LB Edgerrin Cooper off the week's final injury report, indicating he's ready to return from his three-game hamstring injury.

Packers LB Isaiah McDuffie left Sunday night's win over the Vikings with a concussion. He was filling in for LB De'Vondre Campbell (neck), so we'll see about the status of both players for a Week 18 matchup with the Bears. Green Bay holds the No. 7 position in NFC playoff seeding right now but could still be passed with a loss to Chicago.

The Packers have ruled LB De'Vondre Campbell (neck) out for Sunday's game against the Panthers. That pushes Isaiah McDuffie into the starting lineup for what will be his eighth start. McDuffie tallied at least 5 solos in each of those seven previous starts and averaged 9.1 total tackles. He'll be an option for tackle-friendly IDP lineups. McDuffie sits in LB3 territory of our Week 16 rankings. Quay Walker spent the whole practice week limited but carries no injury designation into the game. He should be fine to use. Green Bay also ruled out S Darnell Savage (shoulder).

Packers LB Quay Walker (shoulder) is doubtful for Monday night's game against the Giants. We've knocked him out of the Week 14 LB rankings after a week of missed practices. Isaiah McDuffie will fill in but doesn't carry as much IDP upside.

Packers LB De'Vondre Campbell (neck) is inactive for today's game against the Lions. He seemed on track to play after putting in a full Wednesday practice. Instead Isaiah McDuffie should start in Campbell's place, next to Quay Walker. Check our updated Week 12 LB rankings.

Packers LB Quay Walker missed practice Friday -- his first day on the injury report all week -- and is now questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams with a groin injury. HC Matt LaFleur said Walker "came in feeling tight today." We'll see about his status Sunday. Isaiah McDuffie has been the third LB up so far.

Packers LB De'Vondre Campbell (ankle) is out for Monday night's game against the Raiders. That will leave Isaiah McDuffie to start in his place. McDuffie carries limited upside for IDP leagues. Green Bay also could be missing as many as three secondary starters. CB Jaire Alexander (back) and S Rudy Ford (oblique) are questionable after limited practice participation this week. CB Eric Stokes' questionable tag is more of a positive. He has yet to play this season, coming off mensicus and Lisfranc injuries in November that each required surgeries. If he plays, it'll likely be in a limited role. We'll check on all three DBs Monday. None is worth waiting for in your IDP lineup.

Packers LB Quay Walker has cleared the concussion protocol and is active for today's game against the Falcons. We have added him back to the Week 2 LB rankings, in LB2 territory for most IDP formats.

Packers LB Quay Walker is officially questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons. He managed limited practices Thursday and Friday but remains in the concussion protocol. That makes Walker likely to miss the game, though the questionable tag indicates there's some chance he gets cleared before kickoff. Expect Isaiah McDuffie to start in his place if Walker can't go. Atlanta's run game presents an upside tackle matchup.
