The Green Bay Packers listed quarterback Jordan Love, cornerback Bo Melton, center Sean Rhyan, right tackle Zach Tom, safety Evan Williams and receiver Christian Watson as questionable and ruled out linebacker Kristian Welch and guard John Williams on the final injury report before facing the Baltimore Ravens in Week 17 of the 2025 season.
How will the injury situation affect Saturday's primetime showdown?
Here’s an in-depth breakdown of the Packers’ final injury report ahead of Week 17:
QB Jordan Love (concussion/left shoulder): Love practiced for the third day in a row but still has not cleared concussion protocol, so it's up in the air as to if he'll be available Saturday. Malik Willis, if available, is the backup.
CB Bo Melton (illness): The cornerback/receiver/special teamer battled an illness all week and did not practice.
C Sean Rhyan (knee/illness): Rhyan injured his knee in Chicago and then picked up an illness this week and did not practice on Thursday. It's unclear how the offensive line would be configured if Rhyan can't go, but Jacob Monk is an option at center.
RT Zach Tom (back/knee): He did not practice all week, so he's likely more doubtful to play than truly questionable. Jordan Morgan started at right tackle and generally played well last week.
WR Christian Watson (shoulder/illness): Like Rhyan, Watson appears to have caught the illness going around the Packers locker room. He did not practice on Thursday, potentially leaving the receiver position shorthanded on Saturday.
S Evan Williams (knee): He practiced all week, so it's possible he fights through an MCL sprain and plays just two weeks post-injury. If not, Javon Bullard would likely play safety with Nate Hobbs in the slot.
QB Malik Willis (shoulder/illness): He returned to practice in a limited capacity on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session with an illness. Willis also injured his right shoulder in Chicago. Clayton Tune is the third quarterback on the practice squad.
LB Kristian Welch (ankle): The core special teamer hurt his ankle in Chicago and did not practice this week. It's possible the Packers will need to elevate rookie Jamon Johnson to take Welch's snaps on special teams this week.
G John Williams (back): The rookie is still ramping up while designated to return from the PUP list.
Guard Aaron Banks, defensive lineman Quinton Bohanna, receiver Romeo Doubs, running back Josh Jacobs, defensive end Arron Mosby, defensive end Collin Oliver, defensive lineman Jordon Riley, defensive end Lukas Van Ness, tight end Josh Whyle, receiver Dontayvion Wicks and receiver Savion Williams do not have game status designations and are expected to be available on Saturday night.
Jacobs is good to go despite a lingering knee injury, and it appears Whyle has cleared concussion protocol and is good to go for Saturday.
Quarterback Lamar Jackson did not practice this week and was listed as doubtful to play Saturday, so Tyler Huntley is the expected starter at quarterback. Jackson is dealing with a "significant" back contusion suffered last Sunday. Linebacker Jay Higgins is questionable to play with a knee injury and defensive lineman Taven Bryan is out with a knee injury.
