Green Bay Packers injury report
Let's examine three Packers that appear on the injury report ahead of the Jaguars' showdown:
Jaire Alexander's injury update
According to CBS Sports, Packers superstar cornerback Jaire Alexander has no injury designation in the lead-up to Sunday's game. The Pro Bowler was initially dealing with a groin issue.
According to the report, Alexander was limited in the first two practice sessions of the week. He was eventually listed as a full participant on Friday. Alexander's presence in the defense will be key to the Packers as they face dynamic rookie wide receiver Brian Thomas.
Corey Ballentine's injury update
According to Yahoo Sports, Corey Ballentine did not participate in a single practice session this week. The cornerback is dealing with an ankle injury.
Ballentine is listed as doubtful for the Jaguars game. He'll likely sit out the matchup and focus on recovery.
Christian Watson's injury update
According to the Packers' website, starting wide receiver Christian Watson was a full participant in Friday's session. The pacey pass catcher goes into the game with no designation.
That means quarterback Jordan Love will have one of his favorite targets on the field as he attempts to break down the Jaguars' defense.
Jacksonville Jaguars injury report
Let's examine three Jaguars that appear on the injury report ahead of the Packers' game:
Evan Engram's injury update
According to Fantasy Pros, Jaguars star tight end Evan Engram is off the injury report for Sunday. Engram has dealt with significant injury issues this season but looks to have fully recovered ahead of his team's Week 8 game.
The skilled TE ended the week with consecutive interrupted practice sessions. He looks to be moving well after a pesky hamstring injury limited his early-season participation.
Gabe Davis' injury update
According to CBS Sports, Gabe Davis has been cleared to play on Sunday. The veteran wide receiver was dealing with a knee injury at the start of the week but ended the practice window without a designation.
Davis looks set to occupy the WR3 spot behind Thomas and Christian Kirk while also sharing targets with Engram.
Travis Etienne Jr.'s injury update
According to the Jaguars website, Travis Etienne Jr. is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers. The RB1 is dealing with a hamstring injury.
Etienne was a limited participant throughout the week's practice sessions, so his appearance on Sunday could end up being a game-time decision.
