<\/p>\nGREEN BAY, Wis. \u2013 The Green Bay Packers could be getting several key players back for Sunday night\u2019s game at the Seattle Seahawks.<\/p>\n

For the second consecutive day, safety Javon Bullard was the only member of the active roster who did not practice on Thursday.<\/p>\n
Cornerback Jaire Alexander, who has missed three consecutive games with a knee injury, was full participation for a second consecutive day.<\/p>\n
Receiver Romeo Doubs, who missed the last two games, and safety Evan Williams, who was injured during the first half at Detroit, practiced again as they work their way through the concussion protocol.<\/p>\n
Both were full participation on Thursday. While both players remain in the concussion protocol, coach Matt LaFleur said after practice, their participation status at practice would seem to be good news in advance of Sunday night.<\/p>\n
Plus, linebacker Edgerrin Cooper provided a big update on his status.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Alexander originally was injured on the final defensive snap at Jacksonville on Oct. 27. He has played just 10 snaps since \u2013 at Chicago after the bye, when he aggravated the injury.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m feeling better. Feeling better. It\u2019s a process,\u201d Alexander said after practice.<\/p>\n
His presence would be important this week against the Seahawks\u2019 high-flying passing game. Quarterback Geno Smith is second in the NFL in completions, attempts and yards.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen Ja is healthy, he\u2019s one of the best corners in our league,\u201d defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley said. \u201cWeek in and week out, when you\u2019re playing against some premier players, sometimes it\u2019s helpful to have a premier player to have out there with him.\u201d<\/p>\n
Receiver Dontayvion Wicks, who was shaken up on the final series at Detroit, and cornerback Corey Ballentine, who injured a knee on the opening kickoff return against Miami and was out at Detroit, practiced, as well.<\/p>\n
Second-year tight end Luke Musgrave, who was designated to return from injured reserve on Wednesday, practiced for a second consecutive day.<\/p>\n
During the portion of practice open to reporters, he worked on blocking drills with an assistant coach while the other tight ends went through a routes-on-air period with the quarterbacks and receivers.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been awesome to see Luke,\u201d quarterback Jordan Love said on Wednesday. \u201cHe was out there in pads and what not doing some individual stuff today. It was great to see him back here. Obviously, had a tough injury, didn\u2019t know when he was going to be back, if it would be this week or not. It\u2019s definitely nice to see him back out there.<\/p>\n
\u201cHopefully, we can get him back for the end of the season and for playoffs and what not, so it\u2019s awesome to have a guy like that back out there.\u201d<\/p>\n
Defensive tackle Kenny Clark and guard Elgton Jenkins were added to the injury report but only for rest.<\/p>\n
Seattle has a long injury report, but many of those players were out on Wednesday while getting veteran rest.<\/p>\n
One key player who did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday was standout running back Kenneth Walker due to a calf injury that held him out last week. Not only is Walker the team\u2019s leading rusher with 542 yards and seven touchdowns, but he\u2019s also set career highs with 38 receptions for 271 yards.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s still day-to-day right now,\u201d Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald told reporters in Seattle on Wednesday. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t say a lot more. It got more complicated as the week went on, so that\u2019s why we had to do some more tests and stuff. But right now, there are positive signs. So, we\u2019ll just say day-to-day I think is fair, but it\u2019s not long term.\u201d<\/p>\n
In 40 games in three seasons, Walker has 3,192 total yards and 26 touchdowns.<\/p>\n
He wouldn\u2019t necessarily need to practice to play in the game.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would like to see him at some point,\u201d Macdonald said, \u201cbut I wouldn\u2019t say that that would exclude him from playing.\u201d<\/p>\n
