Green Bay quarterback Jordan Love was listed as a full participant in Thursday’s practice, an upgrade from his limited status on the Packers’ initial injury report. The change came ahead of their game against the Lions.

Love had told reporters he would be available to play despite his back issue, which followed several hits in the Week 6 victory over the Cowboys. Head coach Matt LaFleur said Love was feeling the effects of the game and had been receiving chiropractic care.

Two players were newly listed as limited: linebacker Zaire Franklin with a shin injury and edge rusher Lucas Van Ness with an illness.

Eight others continued to have limited participation: guard Aaron Banks (knee/toe), defensive tackles Anthony Campbell (ankle) and Jordon Riley (Achilles), cornerbacks Brandon Cisse (shoulder/neck) and Benjamin St-Juste (hamstring), and receivers Matthew Golden (shoulder), Christian Watson (ankle) and Savion Williams (ankle). Receiver Bo Melton, who has a back issue, again did not practice.
