GREEN BAY – The Packers have listed defensive lineman Micah Parsons (back) among seven players questionable for Sunday’s opener against the Detroit Lions at Lambeau Field.
The other six questionable players are cornerback Nate Hobbs (knee), receivers Jayden Reed (foot), Dontayvion Wicks (calf) and Savion Williams (hamstring), safety Zayne Anderson (knee) and defensive lineman Barryn Sorrell (knee) are also questionable.
Parsons participated in a limited capacity in all four practices Green Bay conducted, including Wednesday’s padded work. When asked on Thursday about his availability for Sunday, the three-time All-Pro pass rusher said he’s that “completely up to the coaches.”
“It’s a process of getting ready for football,” Parsons said. “Obviously, going through the tightness, the soreness, but I just got plenty of faith that this great training staff and the coaches are slowly getting me the plays and getting me things that I need if we decide to give me the green light out there.”
Hobbs has been sidelined for a month after undergoing a knee procedure but returned to practice on Thursday in a limited capacity. It was his first on-field work since July 31.
“Mentally, I’m always ready,” Hobbs said. “As far as the training staff, they’re going to make the right decision. I trust them. If I didn’t trust them, I wouldn’t be here. I trust them and the team and the decision; I trust myself, as well.”
Quarterback Jordan Love (left thumb) and center Elgton Jenkins (hip) did not receive a game status for Sunday and will play. Love was a full participant in practice throughout the week.
The Lions ruled out linebacker Trevor Nowaske (elbow), tackle Jamarco Jones (ankle) and running back Sione Vaki (hamstring) out for Sunday.
Receiver Isaac TeSlaa (illness) and guard Kayode Awosika (shoulder) didn’t receive a game status and are expected to be available.
