What you should know from the Packers’ initial injury report in Week 7 against the Texans

The Green Bay Packers released the team’s initial injury report for Week 7 on Wednesday. The team will release two more injury reports, including a final injury report on Friday with official game status information ahead of Sunday’s showdown against the Houston Texans.

Here’s everything you need to know from the Packers’ initial injury report of Week 7:

– Offensive lineman Elgton Jenkins (knee), defensive lineman Devonte Wyatt (ankle) and defensive lineman Colby Wooden (knee) did not participate in Wednesday’s game. Jenkins and Wyatt have struggled with the same injuries, while Wooden’s injury is new. Wyatt has missed two games in a row and may struggle to return after missing earlier this week.

-Receiver Dontayvion Wicks (shoulder) was a limited participant on Wednesday, although he missed Sunday’s win due to an injury. Receiver Jayden Reed (ankle) was also limited due to an injury suffered on Sunday. Wicks did not return to the game; Reed did it. Both appear to have avoided serious injury.

– Center Josh Myers has a new neck injury. He was limited in training on Wednesday. Myers briefly missed the win on Sunday. In his absence, the Packers moved Jenkins to center and used Jordan Morgan at guard.

– The Packers removed linebacker Edgerrin Cooper (hip), offensive lineman Jordan Morgan (shoulder), offensive tackle Zach Tom (shoulder), offensive tackle Rasheed Walker (knee), cornerback Carrington Valentine (ankle) and safety Zayne Anderson (elbow). Injury report from week 7.

– Cornerback Jaire Alexander (groin), defensive lineman Kenny Clark (toe) and tight end Tucker Kraft (groin) were all limited Wednesday. You got through the injuries last week.

— Defensive lineman Jonathan Ford was a full participant. It’s possible he could be added to the 53-man roster this week if the Packers don’t have Wyatt and Wooden.

– The Texans have nine players listed on the injury report, including six players who did not participate on Wednesday. DNPs included starters at linebacker (Azeez Al-Shaair, Henry To’oTo’o), safety (Jimmie Ward), cornerback (Kamari Lassiter) and defensive line (Folorunso Fatukasi). Veteran receiver Robert Woods also didn’t practice. The Texans also have receiver Nico Collins on injured reserve.
