With the first official injury report of the week still two days out (because they won’t practice until Thursday), LaFleur hinted at how his squad would look in the coming days.

Matt LaFleur started by providing an update about Quay Walker, who sustained an ankle injury in the first half against Seattle. He said it’s a “week-and-week type deal” for the 24-year-old linebacker.

The 45-year-old NFL coach added that Jordan Love is fine after the quarterback appeared to be limping in pain during the second half. The Green Bay Packers could also activate Luke Musgrave, who was on the injured reserve list, to boost their offensive depth.

Furthermore, Matt LaFleur didn’t have an update about Jaire Alexander, who has only played 10 snaps since the end of October due to a knee injury.

“We’ll see. We have to get him out there on the practice field and see how he’s moving around. He’s definitely moving around the facility better, but that doesn’t mean you can go out and play a football game,” LaFleur said about Bullard via Zach Kruse of the Packers Wire.

Javon Bullard sustained an ankle injury in Week 14 against the Detroit Lions and didn’t play in Week 15 against the Seattle Seahawks. The Georgia product has been a standout rookie for Green Bay this season, notching 74 tackles (50 solo, 24 assisted), one pass defended, and one tackle for loss.
