That was the team\u2019s first game since the departure of offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, now the Bears coach, and from a yardage standpoint, their meeting with the Packers remains their season low. They dipped below double-digit scoring only once this season, in a 16-9 Week 11 loss to the Eagles.<\/p>\n<p>At 326 points, the Lions are No. 2 in the league in scoring, and at 4,163 yards, they\u2019re No. 4. Their offensive numbers might not be what they were a year ago, but they\u2019re also not the same team the Packers saw in Week 1. This is a very potent bunch.<\/p>\n<p>Thus there is concern on the Packers sideline about one of the team\u2019s key injuries: the shoulder stinger suffered by cornerback Keisean Nixon, who has been one of the team\u2019s standouts in an improved defensive backs group this year.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Keisean Nixon Would Have Missed Packers Practice on Monday<\/h2>\n<p>Nixon played only 13 snaps on Sunday against the Vikings. Given the talent on the Lions\u2019 side at wide receiver\u2013with Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams\u2013the Packers would certainly like to have some experience there. But coach Matt LaFleur said that Thanksgiving is very much a question mark for Nixon.<\/p>\n<p>The Packers did not have a live practice on Monday, but on the estimated participation chart, Nixon was listed as \u201cdid not participate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would say I think it\u2019s more day-to-day,\u201d coach Matt LaFleur said. \u201cI think Thursday is certainly a question right now, but I wouldn\u2019t rule him out by any stretch.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Kamal Hadden Impressed in Packers Defensive Debut<\/h2>\n<p>In place of Nixon on Sunday was Kamal Hadden, a sixth-round pick of the Chiefs last year out of Tennessee. Hadden had played six games on special teams over the past two years, but Sunday marked his first action with the defense. LaFleur was impressed.<\/p>\n<p>The Chiefs cut Hadden on the final day of camp in 2024, and the Packers scooped him up and have had him on the practice squad since.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust to see where he\u2019s come from to where he is now, it\u2019s totally reflective in terms of how he\u2019s approached coming into the building on a daily basis,\u201d he said. \u201cHe practices the right way, he approaches it the right way. I\u2019m really proud of him.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Keisean Nixon: \u2018We Have Been Tested\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>Still, losing Nixon would be tough because he has been a veteran leader for a group that has played better and better each week. At 85.0, the Packers now have the No. 2 coverage grade in the NFL at Pro Football Focus.<\/p>\n<p>Before his injury, Nixon had commented on the adversity the Packers faced this season especially in tough losses to the Panthers and Eagles\u2013and how he\u2019d hoped the Packers had put all that behind them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we\u2019ve been through, already, some adverse moments,\u201d Nixon said. \u201cObviously, we have had some games where we had to learn from it. They resulted in Ls but that\u2019s always a learning experience. I think this team, we have been tested in that aspect. Seeing who is gonna stay together and if we\u2019re gonna split apart. I think we\u2019ve done a great job of all staying together and I think that\u2019s gonna help us in this stretch moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Packers cornerback Keisean Nixon is on the team&#8217;s injury report and uncertain he can play on Thanksgiving vs. the Lions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":38386,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-38385","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-green-bay-packers"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
