Packers list 3 players as questionable in final Week 1 injury report

The Green Bay Packers have listed three players as questionable in their final injury report ahead of Friday’s season-opening game against the Philadelphia Eagles in Brazil.

Tight end Tucker Kraft (back), running back MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) and running back Emanuel Wilson (hip) are all considered questionable. The Eagles ruled out linebacker Devin White (ankle) and cornerback Isaiah Rodgers (hand).

Kraft, Lloyd and Wilson all practiced in limited numbers on Thursday, suggesting that all three will be able to play against the Eagles. Kraft was placed on the injured list on Wednesday with a back injury. Lloyd and Wilson are the main backup running backs and are progressing in the right direction health-wise.

Linebacker Edgerrin Cooper (hip), receiver Romeo Doubs (hand) and cornerback Carrington Valentine (hamstring) all practiced fully on Thursday and do not have a status designation, meaning they will be ready for Friday night.

Both the Packers and Eagles can start up to two players from the practice squad until 3 p.m. Friday. It’s possible the Packers could start a running back — possibly Ellis Merriweather — to protect Josh Jacobs from injury. Quarterback Sean Clifford is another option if the Packers believe Malik Willis isn’t ready to play as a backup on Friday night.

Defensive end Arron Mosby did not travel with the team to Brazil and will not play.
