Packers: Bryan Bulaga back at practice ahead of NFC title game

Bryan Bulaga was back at practice on Wednesday.

The Green Bay Packers are once again close to full strength ahead of the NFC Championship Game against the San Francisco 49ers.

Thirteen players in total are on the injury report, but that’s not as worrying as it sounds once you take a closer look.

The good news is that right tackle Bryan Bulaga, who missed Sunday’s divisional-round victory over the Seattle Seahawks, looks to be over the illness and returned to practice on Wednesday. He was limited, but that’s due to veteran rest and not the bug that kept him out of the game last week.

Tight ends Jimmy Graham and Marcedes Lewis, and cornerback Tramon Williams were also given veteran rest. Wide receiver Ryan Grant missed practice due to personal reasons.

Wide receiver Geronimo Allison is the latest player to go down with the illness and he missed practice on Wednesday. Fortunately, no other players are on the injury report due to illness.

There was more good news as wide receiver Allen Lazard, who injured his ankle against the Seahawks, was able to practice. He was limited on Wednesday. The Packers will need him out there against the 49ers this week.

No player missed practice due to an injury. Hopefully, Allison will be healthy by Sunday.

At the time of writing, the 49ers haven’t released their first injury report of the week yet. However, Kate Rooney of KRON4 News reported that edge rusher Dee Ford won’t practice and linebacker Kwon Alexander will be limited.

The 49ers are expected to also be close to 100 percent in this game, but we’ll get an idea of who will be available when their first injury report is released later today.

Both the Packers and 49ers are healthy entering the biggest game of the season.
