The Green Bay Packers’ official Week 11 injury report included significant information on rookies Jordan Morgan and MarShawn Lloyd, excluding both players from Sunday’s divisional game against the Chicago Bears.
Morgan is still battling the same persistent shoulder problem from earlier in the season, according to head coach Matt LaFleur. After the terrible injury luck he has experienced, Lloyd has suffered a cruel setback with appendicitis. Ankle and hamstring problems have already placed the rookie running back on the injury report. Although it’s uncertain how long either player will be out, we can presume that Lloyd will require a few weeks to recuperate.
Due to knee and hamstring ailments, respectively, the Packers may be able to have safety Evan Williams and cornerback Jaire Alexander back for this game. They have spent the entire week practicing in a restricted capacity, but it is still unclear how they are doing.

The Packers’ final injury report for Week 11 includes both positive and negative news.
Fortunately, Rasheed Walker’s knee problem is not a concern since he was added to the injury report on Thursday, and Josh Myers, the starting center, is healthy due to a wrist injury. Running back Josh Jacobs (quadricep) is also healthy, as anticipated.
The starting offensive line was rearranged as a result of Myers missing the Week 9 loss to the Detroit Lions. If he had missed another game, Morgan’s absence would have necessitated even more rearranging for the Packers. Thankfully, Myers is in good condition. But neither Williams nor Alexander can afford to miss much time for the Packers. They are essential to the defense of Jeff Hafley. Both players have a chance to participate, which is encouraging, but they haven’t fully practiced and are still doubtful.
