The Green Bay Packers have listed David Bakhtiari as questionable to play in Week 3, while Kenny Clark is good to go.

On Friday, we got a clearer picture of which Green Bay Packers players will be available in their Week 3 matchup versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The return of All-Pro left tackle David Bakhtiari could happen this week.

On the injury report, the Packers have listed Bakhtiari as questionable to play. The good news? He practiced two days in a row, including on Friday. That’s potentially a good sign for his availability, but we’ll see.

The Packers have ruled out wide receiver Sammy Watkins due to a hamstring injury.

Green Bay enters Week 3 with a number of injury concerns at wide receiver. Along with Watkins being ruled out, Christian Watson (hamstring) and Randall Cobb (illness) are listed as questionable on the injury report.

Tight end Marcedes Lewis (groin) is also questionable to play against the Buccaneers. The Packers need Lewis and his excellent blocking ability against one of the league’s top defenses. Hopefully he will be able to play on Sunday.

Green Bay removed four players from the injury report on Friday: wide receiver Allen Lazard (ankle), kicker Mason Crosby (illness), defensive tackle Kenny Clark (groin), and offensive lineman Elgton Jenkins (knee).

All four are good to go in Week 3.

Jenkins was a full participant at practice on Friday, which is a great sign.

The Packers aren’t the only team dealing with multiple injuries. The Buccaneers also enter this matchup with injury concerns.

Tampa Bay has ruled out wide receiver Chris Godwin (hamstring) and defensive lineman Akiem Hicks (foot).

Tackle Donovan Smith (elbow) and tight end Cade Otton (personal) are doubtful to play.

Wide receivers Julio Jones (knee), Breshad Perriman (knee), and Russell Gage (hamstring) are all questionable. Running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) is also questionable to play.
