Week 1: Lions – Packers Wednesday Injury Report

The first official injury report has been released by the Lions and Packers and one team is looking a lot better than the other. 

Packers

The Packers have a grand total of nine players on the initial injury list, with five of them being starters. Jordan Love is the headliner, but I would expect him to play with a Full Practice designation. Jenkins and Parsons are up in the air, but its likely both will also push through their injuries and make the attempt to start. Reed and Hobbs have Knee/Foot injuries and did not proactive today, so it will be telling based on their status changes the next few days.  The rest f the group is primarily depth, but it is notable that the Packers have three WRs currently hobbled which could impact their depth and force Practice Squad call ups.

Lions

The Lions injury list (Estimated due to Lions not practicing Wednesday) is significantly better, with only four players and none of them starters.  TeSLaa is the biggest name form the fans perspective, as he was mysteriously absent form practice in Tuesday, but is in the process of shaking off an illness and should be good to go by Sunday afternoon.  Vaki, Awosika and Nowaske all may be unavailable, but are mainly Special Team contributors and depth pieces for the Lions.
