GREEN BAY, Wis. \u2013 Five Green Bay Packers starters were listed as did not participate at practice on Tuesday as the team continued its short-week preparation for Thursday\u2019s game against the Miami Dolphins.<\/p>\n

Four starters are on the defense: cornerback Jaire Alexander (knee) and linebackers Edgerrin Cooper (hamstring) and Isaiah McDuffie (ankle) due to injuries, and star safety Xavier McKinney was missing for personal reasons.<\/p>\n

McKinney was away from the facility for most of Tuesday but will be back on Tuesday night, coach Matt LaFleur said.<\/p>\n

Also out for the Packers was receiver Romeo Doubs due to Sunday\u2019s concussion. He at least was at the walk-through practice.<\/p>\n

Because the Packers held a walk-through on Tuesday, their participation levels are estimations.<\/p>\n

For the Dolphins, two defensive starters, cornerback Kendall Fuller (concussion) and linebacker Anthony Walker (hamstring), are not expected to play.<\/p>\n

If Fuller is out, Storm Duck will start for the second consecutive week. The undrafted rookie has zero interceptions and two passes defensed, including one in last week\u2019s win over New England.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been talking about Storm, really, since training camp,\u201d Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver told reporters in Miami on Tuesday. \u201cHe\u2019s a guy that\u2019s just consistent out there.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not a pun by any means, but he is truly unflappable. It doesn\u2019t matter what happens, good or bad, he\u2019s the same guy play-in and play-out, and that dependability obviously builds trust with his teammates, and it\u2019s why he\u2019s out there.\u201d<\/p>\n

If Walker is out, Tyrel Dodson will start. Dodson signed with Seattle in free agency this offseason and started nine games before his surprising release. He had an interception against the Patriots.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t expect there to be a big transition between him and \u2018Walk,\u2019\u201d Weaver said.<\/p>\n

For Green Bay, the situation at linebacker \u201cabsolutely is a concern, LaFleur said, with McDuffie and Cooper not well enough to practice. Quay Walker is the unit\u2019s leader as the middle linebacker, signal-caller and every-down player, but McDuffie is second in snaps and Cooper, the promising rookie, is third in snaps.<\/p>\n

McDuffie is third on the team with 59 tackles and Cooper is sixth with 47 tackles and fourth with five tackles for losses.<\/p>\n

If McDuffie and Cooper are out, the Packers would be down to just three linebackers with Walker, veteran Eric Wilson and rookie Ty\u2019Ron Hopper. Hopper has been a key player on special teams and played his first seven defensive snaps vs. the 49ers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought he was physical, I thought he played fast,\u201d defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley said. \u201cHe took advantage of the opportunity. If he has the opportunity again, we\u2019re confident (in him).\u201d<\/p>\n

For both teams, this week is about getting ready mentally and feeling better physically after playing on Sunday. That\u2019s why the Packers aren\u2019t going to have a real practice this week.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the same for both teams,\u201d LaFleur said. \u201cI don’t know what Miami was doing, but that’s just the way you go about it on a Thursday night game. And we’ll move around a little bit tomorrow. All the prep is in, all the game plan is in at this point. Now, it’s just the fine tweaking that we may do as coaches and really trying to detail it up for our players over the next 48 hours.\u201d<\/p>\n
