The Packers fear Edge Micah Parsons tore his left ACL in Sunday's loss to the Broncos. He left in the second half with a non-contact injury to the knee. He's headed for a Monday MRI to confirm the diagnosis.

Update: Monday's MRI confirmed the ACL 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.

Packers LB Quay Walker is active for today's game against the Panthers. He retains some risk, however, thanks to a calf injury that kept him out of Thursday's practice and limited his Friday workout. Factor that in as you set your IDP lineups.

The Packers are listing Edge Micah Parsons as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions with the back injury that has limited his practice work since the trade. We'll see whether he's active Sunday, but even an active Parsons will make for a risky IDP play. He, of course, missed all of training camp and the preseason while seeking a new contract.

If you thought Micah Parsons was using his "back injury" as a fake cover for his Dallas hold-in, then you were apparently mistaken. The new Packers edge is dealing with an L4/L5 facet joint sprain that's challenging his readiness for Sunday's game against the Lions. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Parsons may seek an epidural shot to be able to play in the game. Parsons reportedly practiced in limited fashion Monday. There's no official injury report for the day. Those will start Wednesday.

Packers CB Nate Hobbs had arthroscopic surgery recently to treat a meniscus tear in his right knee, according to ESPN's Rob Demovsky. The team expects Hobbs to miss the rest of August but hopes to get him back for the Sept. 7 regular-season opener. Hobbs reportedly could have played through the injury but had the procedure to avoid worsening the issue. He had the surgery Saturday, Aug. 2.

Packers S Xavier McKinney might miss the rest of training camp and preseason with a calf injury that knocked him out of practice this week. ESPN's Rob Demovsky reports that McKinney says he'll be ready for the regular season, though. It sounds like McKinney had felt some discomfort in the area but that it worsened after Wednesday's practice.

Packers LB Quay Walker faces an important fourth season this fall. It's the final year of his rookie contract, and the team declined the fifth-year option on the former first-round pick. Green Bay has reportedly expressed interest still in bringing him back beyond this season. But Walker also landed this week on the physically unable to perform list to open camp, with no specific injury reported. That could prove to be no big deal. A player isn't required to spend any specific time on the camp PUP list, so Walker can be activated at any point. But any delay could be problematic, as he has plenty to prove in 2025.

The Packers have ruled LB Quay Walker (ankle) out for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Bears. It'll be the third straight game he's missed with the injury, locking in Eric Wilson and Edgerrin Cooper as the lead LBs in playing time for the game. Both have moved up our Week 18 rankings, with Cooper a particularly high-upside option. Green Bay has also ruled out CB Jaire Alexander (knee), S Evan Williams (quad), and S Zayne Anderson (concussion). Those absences should boost playing times for DB Javon Bullard, CB Carrington Valentine, and CB Eric Stokes. The Packers defense doesn't take a meaningful fantasy hit from these absences.

Packers LB Quay Walker left with an ankle injury in the first half of Sunday night's game against the Seahawks and was later ruled out. We'll see about his outlook for Week 16 and beyond. Walker's absence would leave room for Isaiah McDuffie and/or Eric Wilson to see more snaps.

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.

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 active for today's game against the Buccaneers. There's some re-injury risk, but he's OK to use as planned in your IDP lineups. S Darnell Savage (shoulder) and CB Jaire Alexander (shoulder) are inactive. Their absences hurt Green Bay's pass defense.

Packers S Rudy Ford (biceps) and CB Jaire Alexander (shoulder) are inactive for today's game against the Lions. Injuries have shaken up that secondary and brought some big changes in our Week 12 DB rankings. Slot CB Keisean Nixon looks most interesting against Detroit.

Packers LB De'Vondre Campbell left Sunday's win over the Chargers with a stinger. That can be a nerve issue in the shoulder or neck, but it doesn't typically keep a player out long. We'll watch Campbell's status this week. If he misses further time, Isaiah McDuffie would likely fill in.

Packers S Rudy Ford is questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams with a calf injury. The issue arose in Thursday's practice, and then he sat out Friday's workout. That bodes ill for his chances of playing Sunday. Dallin Leavitt looks like the next guy up if Ford can't go.

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 active for today's game against the Vikings. It'll be his first action since suffering the injury back in Week 3. Campbell carries some risk but also plenty of upside for IDP lineups. CB Jaire Alexander (back) is also active.

Packers LB De'Vondre Campbell is questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings. Campbell has been out since Week 3 with a sprained ankle but put in three limited practices this week for the first time since his initial injury. We'll check his status Sunday.

Packers LB Quay Walker (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos. He managed limited practices all week. We'll check his status ahead of Sunday's kickoff. Elsewhere on the defense, S Darnell Savage (calf), CB Eric Stokes (foot), and CB Jaire Alexander (back) are also questionable. Alexander opened the week off the injury report but aggravated the issue Thursday and then missed Friday's practice. That might leave Green Bay without its top cover guy.
