The Packers announced a pair of elevations from their practice squad for Thursday night’s game against the Commanders.
They have called up offensive tackle Brant Banks and cornerback Micah Robinson. They also announced that they have placed defensive lineman Brenton Cox Jr. on injured reserve.
Banks signed with the Packers after going undrafted out of Rice and has experience at guard as well as tackle. The Packers listed right tackle Zach Tom and left guard Aaron Banks as questionable to play, so Banks will give them more depth on the offensive line.
Robinson was a seventh-round pick this year and signed to the practice squad after getting cut this summer. Cornerback Nate Hobbs is listed as questionable along with Tom and Banks.
There’s been no sign of concern out of Washington about quarterback Jayden Daniels’ right wrist all week and that didn’t change with the release of the final injury report ahead of Thursday night’s game against the Packers.
Daniels was listed as a full participant in practice for the third straight day and he did not receive an injury designation on the report.
Punter Tress Way (back) and defensive lineman Deatrich Wise (knee) did get designations. Both players are listed as questionable to play after limited practices on Wednesday. Way was listed as out on Monday while Wise was listed as a full participant on the first two days of the week.
The Commanders signed former 49ers punter Mitch Wishnowsky to the practice squad on Thursday. They can make elevations to the active roster on Thursday, so he’ll get the call if Way isn’t able to play.
Micah Parsons didn’t seem to be too bothered by his back last Sunday, but the Packers are still listing him as questionable to play against the Commanders on Thursday night.
Parsons was listed as limited in practice all three days this week, although the Packers only held walkthroughs due to the short time between games. Parsons said on Tuesday that he talked his way into more snaps than planned in the win over the Lions, so it would seem to be a good bet that he’ll be out there against Washington.
The Packers also listed left guard Aaron Banks (ankle, groin) and right tackle Zach Tom (oblique) as questionable. They were listed as out of practice all week and head coach Matt LaFleur indicated that they’ll both be game-time decisions.
Cornerback Nate Hobbs (knee) and safety Zayne Anderson (knee) round out the questionable group. Defensive lineman Brenton Cox Jr. (groin) and cornerback Bo Melton (shoulder) have been ruled out.
The Commanders have “zero concerns” about Jayden Daniels’ injured right wrist, and the injury report continues to back that up.
Daniels remained a full participant on Tuesday’s estimated report after popping up on Monday’s estimated report.
Daniels played all 70 snaps on Sunday and showed no sign of injury. He went 19-of-30 for 233 yards and a touchdown and ran for 68 yards on 11 carries in the 21-6 win over the Giants.
Punter Tress Way (back) was upgraded to a limited participant on the estimated report, while defensive tackle Daron Payne (calf) went from full to a non-participant. Payne’s downgrade is a concern with the game against the Packers only two days away.
Wide receiver Noah Brown (knee) and running back Austin Ekeler (shoulder) again were listed as limited.
Tight end John Bates (shoulder) and defensive end Deatrich Wise Jr. (knee) remains as full participants.
Linebacker Quay Walker was added to the Packers’ injury report on Tuesday.
Walker was listed as a limited participant in practice due to a quad injury. The participation level was an estimate because the team conducted a walkthrough and the final injury report before Thursday’s game against the Commanders will come on Wednesday.
Walker had nine tackles in Green Bay’s Week 1 win over the Lions.
The Packers moved wide receiver Jayden Reed (foot) from out of practice to limited, but right tackle Zach Tom (oblique), left guard Aaron Banks (ankle, groin), defensive lineman Brenton Cox Jr. (groin), and cornerback Bo Melton (shoulder) were listed as out for the second straight day.
Safety Zayne Anderson (knee), cornerback Nate Hobbs (knee), defensive end Micah Parsons (back), defensive lineman Barryn Sorrell (knee), and wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (calf) remain in the limited category. Wide receiver Matthew Golden (ankle) was bumped up to full participation along with quarterback Jordan Love (left thumb) and punter Daniel Whelan (right knee).
