Packers list 5 players as questionable for NFC Wild Card Round vs Eagles

The Green Bay Packers ruled out receiver Christian Watson and safety Zayne Anderson and listed five other players – including three starters – as questionable to play in the final NFC Wild Card Round injury report.

One notable player out of injury status: Quarterback Jordan Love practiced at full capacity on Thursday and Friday and is officially ready for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Neither Watson (knee, out for the season) nor Anderson (concussion) practiced this week.

Linebacker Quay Walker, safety Evan Williams and defensive lineman TJ Slaton — all starters for Jeff Hafley's defense — are questionable. This also applies to rotational edge rusher Brenton Cox Jr. and backup offensive tackle Andre Dillard.

Walker (ankle) and Williams (quad) are trying to return from a three-game absence to finish the regular season. Both were limited in all three practices this week. Slaton injured his ankle in the season finale but was able to practice on a limited basis on Thursday and Friday. Having all three available will be crucial as the Packers try to slow Saquon Barkley, who ran for 2,005 yards in 16 games in 2024.

Neither Cox Jr. (foot) nor Dillard (concussion) played in the season finale. Cox Jr. practiced all week, while Dillard was promoted to full participant for the first time on Friday. Cox provides pass-rushing depth at the edge, while Dillard is a top backup at offensive tackle.

Receiver Romeo Doubs will return after missing the season finale due to illness. He was a full participant all week.

Backup quarterback Malik Willis is also ready for Sunday despite a right thumb injury.
