Team news: Green Bay Packers

Packers WR Romeo Doubs was ruled out of Sunday’s game against the 49ers with a concussion.

Doubs suffered the injury while attempting a catch in the end zone and landing hard on the back of his helmet. Doubs will not return tonight and it’s almost certain he’ll be ruled out for Thursday night against the Dolphins. If that’s the case, his next chance to return would be the following Thursday against the Lions.

Packers running back Marshawn Lloyd came down with appendicitis last week after the club opened his 21-day practice window.

Green Bay has now made a roster move with him, activating him off of injured reserve.

The story said that does not mean Lloyd, a rookie third-round pick, is going to be ready to play soon. He could be placed on the non-football injury list to recover from his appendectomy. Head coach Matt LaFleur has not given a timetable for Lloyd’s potential return, according to the story added.

An MRI confirmed optimism about Jordan Love’s status: He’ll be day to day and has a shot to play Sunday.

The injury wasn't believed to be all that serious as of earlier today, but Love now being day to day gives him a shot to play in Week 9. The Packers do have a bye in Week 10, perhaps giving them a reason to sit Love in Week 9 and give him the extra week of rest before coming back for Week 11. Owners will want to continue to monitor Love's status this week as he could end up playing. The Packers do have a later Sunday home game against the Lions and they then play the Bears in Week 11.

Packers QB Jordan Love is dealing with a groin injury that is considered minor, however, Love's status for Week 9 is in doubt.

If Love sits out Week 9, and with the bye in Week 10, he could hopefully be ready to go for Week 11, which is a big game at the Bears in the early slate of games that Sunday. Willis played well filling in for Love earlier this season, so it would seem to make sense the Packers wouldn't push Love to play this week, instead opting to give him two weeks off. Love's status should still be monitored this week, but given the way this sets up, Love owners may want to start planning ahead now.

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said there is “obviously a high level of concern” regarding the groin injury for quarterback Jordan Love.

Love left in the middle of Green Bay’s 30-27 win over the Jaguars. He went 14-of-23 for 196 yards with an interception before leaving. He has already missed time this season with a knee injury. Malik Willis finished the game and led the drive that resulted in the game-winning field goal. The Packers host the Lions next week before their bye in Week 10.

Veteran kicker Brandon McManus is signing with the Packers, sources tell me and Mike Garafolo.

The team is releasing Narveson, who missed 5 of 17 field-goal attempts. McManus was under investigations for an alleged sexual assault, but the NFL said there was insufficient evidence.

Sources: Packers WR Dontayvion Wicks is considered “week-to-week” after sustaining a shoulder injury that caused him to leave Sunday’s game vs the Cardinals.

Related players: Jayden Reed, Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs

Overall it's good news for Jordan Love and Green Bay, as Wicks already has 3 TDs this season. From a fantasy perspective, it's a crowded WR room for the Packers who saw Watson return to action this past week. With Wicks listed as week to week, it's very possible he's unable to go in Week 7. The Pack host the Texans in Week 7 in an early afternoon game. Look for Reed, Watson and Doubs to lead the way again as all three scored touchdowns in Week 6.

Matt LaFleur on Tucker Kraft, who was added to the injury report yesterday with a groin issue:

“He should be good to go.”

Kraft should be considered a locked-in TE1 this week, with upside for an overall No. 1 finish at the position.

Alvin Kamara was at practice today. Rashid Shaheed was not.

Related Players: Jamaal Williams, Kendre Miller

Kamara could have a massive role in the offense this weekend if he's a full go, with rookie Spencer Rattler seeing his first NFL action. If he ends up missing, the team has already shown that they don't trust Miller, so Williams would presumably operate as the RB1.

Packers coach Matt LaFleur said TE Luke Musgrave’s ankle is going to keep him out a while and will “more than likely” go on injured reserve.

Musgrave was active last Sunday but only for emergency purposes and actually practiced yesterday.

“Speaks to his toughness,” MLF said.

Related Players: Tucker Kraft

Kraft has already taken over as the undoubted TE1 on the team, but this removes another hurdle for him to put up consistent fantasy production. He should be considered a definite top-10 option for the rest of the season.
