Packers inactives list for Week 11 game against Bears
Cornerback Jaire Alexander and safety Evan Williams are active for the Green Bay Packers against the Chicago Bears, which is huge news ahead of such a key game.
The Packers used their bye week to start getting healthier, but then the injuries began to pile up again when they returned to practice. They face a huge divisional showdown against the Chicago Bears in Week 11.
First-round pick Jordan Morgan aggravated a shoulder injury that has already cost him time this season, and the Packers have placed him on injured reserve. It means Morgan won't officially count as an inactive for today's game, but he is out.
Second-year Colby Wooden won't play after officially receiving a doubtful designation on the injury report. He didn't practice all week due to a shoulder injury.
The Packers have also lost running back MarShawn Lloyd. He was expected to return from injured reserve this week after the team opened his 21-day window to practice, but he is now out again due to appendicitis. Hopefully, Lloyd will make a quick recovery.
