RB Aaron Jones (knee): The Packers want to make sure he gets through the full week without any setbacks before he’s cleared to play Sunday. The offense desperately needs him to return and provide a spark.

CB Jaire Alexander (back): The back injury that forced him to miss two games flared up again midweek, and he didn’t practice Friday. The Packers must fear this could become a lingering, season-long issue.

LG Elgton Jenkins (knee): Are the Packers just resting his knee, or was there a setback? Jenkins didn’t practice on Friday. Royce Newman would be the expected starter if Jenkins can’t go.

LB Quay Walker (knee): He was injured in Las Vegas nine days ago but practiced all week in a limited fashion. It would be surprising if he can’t go.

S Darnell Savage (calf): Like Walker, he was injured in Las Vegas but practiced all week. Expect him to play barring a setback.

DL Devonte Wyatt (knee): It’s unclear when he was injured, but Wyatt did practice as a limited participant all week, so he must be considered likely to play.

CB Eric Stokes (foot): He remains on the PUP list but it’s still possible he returns to the 53-man roster before the Packers play the Broncos. Stokes practiced all week.

OT Yosh Nijman (knee): The Packers added him to the injury report on Friday with a new injury. He’s the offensive line’s top backup at offensive tackle, but Caleb Jones would take over the role if he can’t go Sunday.

S Zayne Anderson (hamstring): He still hasn’t made his Packers debut, but he could be active come Sunday if he’s one of the heathiest players on the 10-player injury report.
