The Green Bay Packers are on the mend just in time for a challenging stretch in their season.
This Sunday, they will face the Houston Texans, marking the beginning of a series of critical matchups, including games against divisional rivals the Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears.
The team has navigated through various injuries this season, but most have been relatively short-term. With the Texans set to visit Lambeau Field, the timing is perfect for key players to return to full health, boosting the Packers’ prospects.
Wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks, who was unable to finish last week’s victory over the Arizona Cardinals, has made a promising return to practice.
The concern was whether he would be able to participate fully the following day, and he proved to be fit enough to practice in pads.
Adding to the good news, Elgton Jenkins and Colby Wooden were back on the practice field by Thursday. The only player absent was Devonte Wyatt, but head coach Matt LaFleur noted that Wyatt is improving and “doing a nice job” in his recovery.
