What to know from Packers’ first injury report of Week 11 vs. Bears

The Green Bay Packers released the team's initial injury report for Week 13 on Monday. The team will release two additional injury reports on Wednesday, including a final injury report with official game status information ahead of Thursday's Thanksgiving showdown against the Miami Dolphins.

Here's everything you need to know from the Packers' initial injury report in Week 13:

Who didn't take part?

First things first: The Packers did not practice on Monday and all attendance reports are estimates. But the team estimated that cornerback Jaire Alexander (knee), linebacker Edgerrin Cooper (hamstring), receiver Romeo Doubs (concussion), tight end John FitzPatrick (back) and linebacker Isaiah McDuffie (ankle) did not practice. Veterans Kenny Clark, Josh Jacobs and Elgton Jenkins were all listed as resting on Monday.

Are there any new injuries you should know about?

Yes. McDuffie, an 11-game starter at linebacker, has a new ankle injury, highlighting the depth at linebacker with Edgerrin Cooper still out. Receiver Romeo Doubs suffered a concussion against the San Francisco 49ers and had to follow league protocol to return to the field. Tight end John FitzPatrick has a new back injury. Center Josh Myers is listed with a new pectoral injury, although he was still expected to practice Monday.

Which injured players should you watch out for this week?

Alexander and Cooper missed last week's win over the 49ers – Alexander due to aggravating a pre-existing knee injury and Cooper due to a hamstring injury he suffered during practice last Wednesday – so it could be difficult for both to play on Thursday night . The same goes for Doubs, who is expected to be a long way from being able to get through the concussion protocol in time. McDuffie's injury is somewhat unknown. It is possible that the Packers will be without all four players on Thursday night.

Who is no longer on the injury report?

The Packers have removed safety Evan Williams and defensive lineman Colby Wooden from the injury report. Both played through previous injuries on Sunday and are fully “healed” at the start of week 13.

What to know from the Dolphins injury report?

The Dolphins' injury report includes 15 players and only two were listed as “rested” on Monday. Like the Packers, the Dolphins did not practice on Monday and practice attendance reports are estimates only. Still, the Dolphins estimated that left tackle Terron Armstead (knee), cornerback Kendall Fuller (concussion) and linebackers Tyus Bowser (knee/calf) and Anthony Walker Jr. (hamstring) did not practice. Receiver Tyreek Hill (wrist), fullback Alex Ingold (calf) and cornerback Jalen Ramsey (knee) were among those limited.
