The Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears took very different approaches to their Wednesday practice schedule. The Packers, off their mini-bye after playing the Detroit Lions, had a fully padded practice, which they are only allowed three of in the final six weeks of the NFL season per the collective bargaining agreement. Meanwhile, the Bears, off a Black Friday game, did not have a practice or walkthrough on Wednesday.

In total, the Packers had 3 non-participants in their practice and 14 more limited participants today. The Bears only had to update an estimated injury report, since they didn’t do on-field work on Wednesday.

Let’s get into what the injury report looks like.

None of these should really be surprising to Packers fans. Wyatt will go on season-ending injured reserve soon, likely whenever Green Bay needs that 53rd roster spot. Head coach Matt LaFleur already confirmed that Wyatt’s 2025 campaign is over, which should open up opportunities for the likes of Colby Wooden, Karl Brooks and Warren Brinson. The two defensive tackles that the Packers assumed would start for them this year — Wyatt and the traded nose tackle Kenny Clark — are no longer available to the team.

Williams was seen in a walking boot going into the Vikings game, which LaFleur said has been normal for the receiver and returner. LaFleur described Williams’ injury as a pain management issue, though Williams didn’t play against the Lions on a short week. Maybe with a longer run-up, Williams will be able to suit up against Chicago. We probably won’t have a better handle of this situation until later in the week.

For the most part, players who show up on the limited participants list for the Packers have been dealing with nagging injuries. The big exceptions here are running back MarShawn Lloyd, receiver Jayden Reed, defensive end Collin Oliver and defensive end Brenton Cox Jr., who are not currently members of the 53-man roster, but are on Green Bay’s injury lists and are practicing through their 21-day window to return to the team.

As a reminder, the players who were inactive for the Packers last week, besides the already mentioned Williams and Van Ness, are Golden, Brooks, Walker and Hobbs. Hopefully, Green Bay will get those players back this week. Notably, Walker is the team’s starting Mike linebacker, while Brooks would be a replacement starter for Wyatt at the three-technique position.

When the Packers added a defensive tackle to their 53-man roster this week, it wasn’t to target a Wyatt replacement, a three-technique under tackle, but a nose tackle. That’s a good sign for Brooks playing, as Warren Brinson is really the team’s only other three-technique type of player remaining on the roster beyond Brooks.

The Chicago Bears’ preferred starting cornerbacks are getting healthy, so it’s uncertain how much of an impact Stevenson would make this week, even if healthy, but there are two big injuries to monitor for Chicago: running back Kyle Monangai and receiver Rome Odunze. From an EPA perspective, Monangai has been far more efficient than D’Andre Swift in 2025, so losing him would be a big loss for the Bears’ rushing attack. Odunze is Chicago’s leading receiver this year and was a first-round pick last season.
