New England tight end Hunter Henry and Green Bay cornerback Keisean Nixon are active for the Patriots-Packers game despite injuries. Henry has been dealing with a foot injury, while Nixon has a groin injury. The Patriots will be without two wide receivers, A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs.

Henry missed two practices because of his injury and received a questionable designation on Friday. His availability gives quarterback Drake Maye a target despite the absences at receiver. Five other Patriots are also available after being considered questionable: Kevin Byard at safety, Carlton Davis at cornerback, Morgan Moses at right tackle, Brenden Schooler on special teams and Greg Van Roten at guard.

New England's inactive list includes Brown and Charles Woods, a cornerback. Also inactive are TreVeyon Henderson at running back, Dametrious Crownover at offensive tackle and Behren Morton at quarterback.

Green Bay will be without running back MarShawn Lloyd and linebacker Zaire Franklin. Offensive linemen Donovan Jennings and Travis Glover are out, as are Sean Rhyan at center and Josh Whyle at tight end.
