GREEN BAY – Running back Aaron Jones (hamstring), cornerback Jaire Alexander (back) and linebacker Quay Walker (knee) are among nine players the Packers have listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos.
The other six are guard Elgton Jenkins (knee), safety Darnell Savage (calf), cornerback Eric Stokes (foot), defensive lineman Devonte Wyatt (knee), tackle Yosh Nijman (knee), and safety Zayne Anderson (hamstring).
Linebacker De'Vondre Campbell (knee) returned to practice on Friday in a limited capacity but is listed as doubtful.
"It's the next man up mentality," said Head Coach Matt LaFleur when asked about the 10 players on the Packers' injury report. "We've said it – this league doesn't really care ... and neither do we. It's how do you get the next guy up ready to roll, so you can go out and play your best football."
Of the nine listed as questionable, only Alexander and Jenkins did not practice on Friday. Asked whether Jenkins' situation was precautionary, LaFleur said "I believe so." Nijman was added to the injury report after practice Friday.
Jones didn't play in Las Vegas before the bye but returned to practice in a limited capacity this week. Walker, who left in the first half against the Raiders with a knee injury, also practiced on limited basis all week.
Stokes would have to be activated off injured reserve in order to play against the Broncos. Green Bay opened Stokes' 21-day window to return to the 53-man active roster on Oct. 3.
Meanwhile, Denver ruled out tight end Greg Dulcich with a hamstring.
The Broncos didn't issue a game designation for the following players who are expected to be available: safety Justin Simmons (hip), safety Kareem Jackson (neck), linebacker Baron Browning (knee/wrist), center Lloyd Cushenberry (quad) and defensive tackle D.J. Jones (knee).
