Packers inactives list for Week 13 game against Dolphins
The Green Bay Packers and Miami Dolphins are dealing with injuries ahead of their Thanksgiving matchup. Both teams enter this game without their best cornerbacks and also have injuries at linebacker.
Jaire Alexander and Edgerrin Cooper missed last week's win over the San Francisco 49ers, and considering the quick turnaround between games, it always felt like a long shot for either to play. They sat out of practice all week and won't play tonight against the Dolphins. The Packers are also missing wide receiver Romeo Doubs after he suffered a concussion four days ago. Again, the short turnaround didn't help.
Hopefully, all three have enough time to return for the Packers' rematch with the Detroit Lions on Thursday Night Football next week.
The Dolphins ruled out cornerback Kendall Fuller due to a concussion, while linebackers Anthony Walker Jr. and Tyus Bowser will also miss the game.
Full inactives list for Packers in Week 13
Player | Position | Injury |
|---|---|---|
Jaire Alexander | CB | Knee |
Edgerrin Cooper | LB | Hamstring |
Romeo Doubs | WR | Concussion |
Jacob Monk | C | Healthy Scratch |
We already knew that Alexander, Cooper, and Doubs were out, but the good news is that center Josh Myers and linebacker Isaiah McDuffie are active. That lessens the problems at linebacker and avoids a potential headache along the offensive line.

Player | Position | Injury |
|---|---|---|
Tyus Bowser Jr. | LB | Knee/Calf |
Kendall Fuller | CB | Concussion |
Anthony Walker Jr. | LB | Hamstring |
Tyler Huntley | QB | Emergency QB |
Ethan Bonner | CB | Healthy Scratch |
Jack Stoll | TE | Healthy Scratch |
Dee Eskridge | WR | Healthy Scratch |
The big news for Miami is that left tackle Terron Armstead is active. He has played with a knee injury in recent weeks, and tonight is no different.
The Packers run into a Dolphins team that has won its past three games (and almost won the two before that) and is playing with a sense of urgency. Miami is attempting to keep its playoff hopes alive after falling well behind without Tua Tagovailoa. He has been outstanding since returning to the lineup and will test Green Bay's defense.
It should make for a fascinating game at a frozen Lambeau Field. A win for the Packers would all but secure their playoff spot with five weeks to go.
