On Wednesday, the Green Bay Packers released their first injury report of week three, the first formal list of injured players since they saw several key players leave last Sunday night’s game against the Atlanta Falcons.
It’s quite the list.
A whopping thirteen players show up on the list, with an even more stunning nine players who play starters’ snaps. If there is one silver lining here it is that five of the thirteen players on the list practiced fully on Wednesday.
Wide receiver Jordy Nelson and right tackle Bryan Bulaga were both full participants, a good sign for their availability in the Packers’ week three game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Joining them were right guard Jahri Evans, who reportedly had a minor injury during the Atlanta game but who did not miss a snap, rookie defensive tackle Montravius Adams, and outside linebacker Ahmad Brooks, making his return to the field after suffering a concussion in week one.
However, the “did not practice” list has six starters, including David Bakhtiari, Randall Cobb, and Mike Daniels. However, Nick Perry’s appearance is the biggest surprise, as he was not among the players who reportedly suffered an injury in Atlanta.
Here’s the Packers’ report for Wednesday.

Meanwhile, the Bengals also have a few notable players on their report. Most notable are tight end Tyler Eifert, who missed practice with a back injury, and a pair of starting defensive linemen — Geno Atkins and Michael Johnson — who were limited. There also appears to be a bug going around the Cincinnati locker room, as three players were limited at practice as being limited due to an illness.
