Packers inactives list for Week 6 game against Cardinals
The Green Bay Packers host the Arizona Cardinals in Week 6 in an important game for both teams.
Arizona has made an up-and-down start to the season but stunned the San Francisco 49ers on the road last week. The Cardinals held their own in games against the Buffalo Bills and Detroit Lions, and the Packers know they can't take this challenge lightly.
Both teams face a few injury concerns for Week 6. The Packers are again without defensive lineman Devonte Wyatt, who was enjoying a breakout season before suffering an ankle injury. The team has placed tight end Luke Musgrave on injured reserve, costing him a minimum of four games.
The Packers have listed five players as questionable on the injury report; the Cardinals have four. Below is an updated list of the inactives for both teams entering their Week 6 matchup at Lambeau Field.
Full inactives list for Packers in Week 6
The Packers will release their full list of gameday inactives at 10:30 am on Sunday, October 13, and this will be updated. They have already ruled out these two players:
Player | Position | Injury |
|---|---|---|
Luke Musgrave | TE | Ankle |
Devonte Wyatt | DL | Ankle |
Musgrave won't officially count as an inactive, as the Packers have placed him on injured reserve. He is out for a minimum of four games, and head coach Matt LaFleur indicated that he will miss significant time.
Wyatt is still dealing with an ankle injury he suffered in the Week 4 game against the Minnesota Vikings. While it's encouraging that the Packers haven't placed him on injured reserve, he has yet to practice since suffering the injury, indicating he isn't close to returning yet.
Full inactives list for Cardinals in Week 6
This will be updated when the Cardinals announce their full list of inactives at 10:30 am CT on Sunday, October 13. They have already ruled out two players: defensive lineman Darius Robinson and wide receiver Zay Jones.
Player | Position | Injury |
|---|---|---|
Darius Robinson | DL | Calf |
Zay Jones | WR | NIR/Hamstring |
Robinson practiced on Wednesday but was downgraded to no practice the following two days. Arizona has already ruled out the rookie defensive lineman.
Jones has an interesting injury designation. It is "not injury related" and "hamstring injury." It seemingly makes no sense, but there's a reason for that. The Cardinals have ruled Jones out because he has a hamstring injury, but even if he didn't, he still wouldn't have played because he is just returning from suspension and the team wants to give him more time to prepare, hence the "not injury related" part.
