Observations

  • Wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase (illness) was sent home prior to Friday’s walkthrough but was present for meetings. There’s a chance he recovers and is able to play Sunday afternoon barring a setback Saturday.
  • Left guard Dylan Fairchild (knee) was at least limited Friday with his knee injury he suffered against the Detroit Lions, but the expectation is for Dalton Risner to start at his spot in Green Bay.
  • Right guard Lucas Patrick (calf) went full again and while he’s officially questionable, it’s possible he’ll be activated to the 53-man roster this weekend. Backup center Matt Lee (knee) is questionable to play, which would make Patrick needed as depth behind starter Ted Karras.
  • Defensive end Shemar Stewart (ankle) practiced went limited for a third straight day and is doubtful.
