Every member of Packers’ active roster practiced on Wednesday ahead of NFCCG

The Green Bay Packers currently have 52 players on their active roster as of Wednesday afternoon, recent reports about Tramon Williams notwithstanding. And on Wednesday, all 52 of those players were participating in the team’s first practice of the week ahead of the NFC Championship Game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Last week, the Packers were missing only one player for any length of time, as second-year defensive lineman Kingsley Keke was held out in the concussion protocol. Keke was back at practice on a limited basis today, however, and the Packers had no other injuries that caused any player to miss time.

This is a great sign for a team that appeared to have a few injury question marks coming out of Saturday’s Divisional Playoff victory over the Los Angeles Rams. Chief among them was rookie running back AJ Dillon, who left late in that game with a quad injury. However, Dillon was at practice, albeit on a limited basis, on Wednesday in a sign that he should be in good shape to play on Sunday afternoon.

The Buccaneers were not as fortunate, however, though Wednesday’s practice was a lighter one for them and Thursday’s injury report will be worth monitoring closely. Two key players missed Wednesday entirely for Tampa, as wide receiver Antonio Brown and edge rusher Jason Pierre-Paul sat out with knee issues. JPP’s status was also designated as not injury related, however, suggesting that a lingering knee issue may not actually be the reason for his absence. Meanwhile, three other critical pieces to the Bucs’ offense were limited, as wide receivers Chris Godwin and Mike Evans and running back Ronald Jones all practiced partially.

Stay tuned throughout the week to follow along with injury updates ahead of Sunday’s NFC title game.
