The Green Bay Packers ruled out defensive lineman Jonathan Ford (calf), defensive lineman Javon Hargrave (Achilles), receiver Skyy Moore (ankle) and cornerback Benjamin St-Juste (hamstring) on Friday. None of these players will suit up against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, and the Packers will likely need to make roster moves to backfill for these injured players.<\/p>\n
Beyond the players ruled out, offensive lineman Aaron Banks (knee\/toe), defensive lineman Anthony Campbell (ankle), cornerback Brandon Cisse (hip) and offensive lineman Jacob Monk (quadricep) are listed as questionable for Week 6. Receiver Savion Williams (ankle), whose IR practice window has opened up, is questionable, while defensive lineman Jordon Riley (Achilles), whose PUP practice window has opened up, is doubtful.<\/p>\n
With so many moving parts, let\u2019s just lay out the Packers\u2019 full roster (including players\u2019 injury statuses) going into Sunday Night Football.<\/p>\n
Nothing is concerning here.<\/p>\n

The Packers almost always have five or more receivers on the 48-man game-day roster, so expect to see a move here with Moore already ruled out \u2014 be it the activation of Williams to the 53-man roster or a call-up for receiver Isaiah Neyor from the practice squad. It\u2019s also possible that Green Bay places Moore on the injured reserve to free up a roster spot.<\/p>\n

Nothing is concerning here, considering the Packers will need to scratch three at the position anyway. Even if Banks and Monk can\u2019t go, Green Bay will still need a healthy scratch at the position.<\/p>\n

This is red alert\/it could cost the team the game levels of concern. The Packers need five interior defensive linemen to be able to keep guys fresh, but they only have three players on the 53-man roster who are absolutely 100 percent going to play on Sunday. Green Bay is going to need two of the following players to give them reps: Campbell (questionable), Riley (PUP, doubtful) and\/or a practice squad player David Blay Jr.<\/p>\n
Lukas Van NessBarryn SorrellBrenton Cox Jr.Dani Dennis-Sutton<\/p>\n
Nothing is concerning here, unless the team gets the bright idea to move Lukas Van Ness to the interior defensive line to help their numbers issue there\u2026which would leave the Packers with just three edge defenders for the entire game against Dallas. That\u2019s one issue about moving LVN around.<\/p>\n

The Packers probably want to keep five players at cornerback on the 48-man game-day roster this week, not because of defense but because Bo Melton is having to play more offense as Skyy Moore\u2019s replacement, meaning a similar body type (likely a cornerback) will have to backfill for Melton on special teams.<\/p>\n
Thankfully, Keisean Nixon was cleared from his injury, but now Cisse could potentially miss action and St-Juste is guaranteed to miss action. At minimum, assume that rookie practice squad cornerback Domani Jackson gets activated for his first NFL game.<\/p>\n

So what do the Packers need to add this weekend?<\/p>\n
One receiverIR: Savon WilliamsPS: Isaiah Neyor, Quincy Skinner Jr. and\/or Coleman OwenOne or two defensive linemenPUP: Jordon RileyPS: David Blay Jr.If the team can\u2019t carry five defensive linemen without moving Lukas Van Ness over, look for practice squad edge rushers Nyjalik Kelly or Arron Mosby to potentially be called up.One or two cornerbacksPS: Domani Jackson and\/or Elijah Culp<\/p>\n
Look for the team to make a decent number of moves on Saturday. Remember, Hargrave and Moore are IR candidates, the team already has an open roster spot on the 53 and the team has the option to use two practice squad elevations, too. There\u2019s a bunch of different buttons they can press to get to a 48-man game-day roster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Green Bay Packers ruled out defensive lineman Jonathan Ford (calf), defensive lineman Javon Hargrave (Achilles), receiver Skyy…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":469522,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[102,104,103,159594,57245],"class_list":["post-469521","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-dallas","tag-dallas","tag-dallas-headlines","tag-dallas-news","tag-green-bay-packers-injuries","tag-green-bay-packers-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/469521","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=469521"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/469521\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/469522"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=469521"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=469521"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=469521"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
