Allen Lazard Not Expected To Play Sunday Night

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard (shoulder) does not expect to play on Sunday night against the Buffalo Bills. "Probably not," Lazard said.

Aaron Rodgers Sticking To Same Routine

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (thumb) returned to practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session. He has his injured right thumb taped, and it's the same routine he's followed in recent weeks after initially injuring his thumb three weeks ago. The 38-year-old shouldn't be in any danger of missing the Sunday night showdown on […]

Allen Lazard Misses Another Practice

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard (shoulder) was listed as a non-participant in Thursday's practice for the second straight day. Lazard hurt his left shoulder in the Week 7 loss to the Washington Commanders and was seen in a sling after the game. There's a pretty good chance that the 26-year-old won't be available […]

Sammy Watkins Limited Wednesday

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. After missing the last four weeks, the 29-year-old returned to action last Sunday against the Washington Commanders and caught two of his four targets, gaining 36 yards.

Aaron Rodgers Misses Practice Wednesday

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (thumb) was absent from practice on Wednesday. This missed practice now marks the third Wednesday in a row that Rodgers has been unavailable.

No Practice For Allen Lazard

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard (shoulder) will not practice on Wednesday, and head coach Matt LaFleur said he's unsure whether Lazard will miss a game or multiple games.
