David Bakhtiari and Aaron Jones both listed as full participants on Thursday’s injury report

On Thursday, David Bakhtiari was a full participant in practice for the second consecutive day, indicating he’s well on his way to returning to the Green Bay Packers’ lineup after missing several weeks with a chest injury. Aaron Jones was also listed as a full participant on the Packers’ Thursday injury report, painting an optimistic picture for the Packers overall.

Bakhtiari hasn’t played since Week 6, when he left the Packers’ 38-10 loss to the Buccaneers early. That was also the last time Jones was on the field before his return last Thursday against the 49ers, and having both back would be a significant boost to the offense, though that unit has played fairly well in their absence overall.

In less positive news, Jaire Alexander continues to recover from his concussion and did not participate in practice today, leaving his status in serious doubt for Sunday.

Tight end Robert Tonyan, meanwhile, was a new addition to the injury report, popping up as a limited participant with a knee injury. Tight end John Lovett was also listed as a limited participant today after participating fully on Wednesday.

Defensive backs Kevin King, Will Redmond, and Vernon Scott were all limited participants as well, as were wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown and tackle Rick Wagner.

Tight end Marcedes Lewis and wide receiver Darrius Shepherd were listed non-participants, battling knee and shoulder injuries respectively.
