Christian Watson available for Patriots game; Keisean Nixon questionable
Green Bay ruled out four players, while Micah Parsons will not be activated from injured reserve for the trip to New England.
Green Bay receiver Christian Watson has no injury designation for Sunday afternoon’s road game against the New England Patriots, despite rib trouble that restricted his practice participation throughout the week. Cornerback Keisean Nixon’s availability remains uncertain, with the Packers listing him as questionable because of a groin injury.
Nixon resumed practicing after missing Thursday’s session. Running back MarShawn Lloyd, who has a knee injury, also carries a questionable designation. Guard Aaron Banks, dealing with a calf issue, and safety Jevon Bullard, listed for personal reasons, have no injury designations for the game.
Four players will miss the matchup: linebacker Zaire Franklin with a shin injury, offensive lineman Travis Glover and center Sean Rhyan with knee injuries, and tight end Josh Whyle with a concussion.
The Packers also said defensive end Micah Parsons, who has a knee injury, will remain on injured reserve rather than be activated. Running back Chris Brooks is eligible for activation but is questionable with an ankle injury.
