GREEN BAY – The Packers have listed tackle David Bakhtiari (knee), running back Aaron Jones (knee) and linebacker De'Vondre Campbell (elbow) as questionable for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Detroit Lions.
Defensive lineman Kingsley Keke (illness) and cornerback Jaire Alexander (shoulder) have been ruled out.
Bakhtiari returned to practice Friday in a full capacity after doing conditioning work Thursday. If Bakhtiari is cleared, Sunday would mark the five-time All-Pro tackle's 2021-22 season debut.
"I thought he looked really good," Head Coach Matt LaFleur said. "But we'll see how he comes in tomorrow and see how he's feeling before we totally commit to that; whether or not he's playing.
"Would we love to see him out there? Absolutely. But I want to make sure … that he's in the right mindset, first and foremost, but also that he can protect himself and he's fully functional. He's coming off a big injury so we just want to make sure everything's 100% or as close as it can be to 100% before we put him out there."
Cornerback Jaire Alexander, who's been on the reserve/COVID-19 list, returned to practice Friday but LaFleur said he didn't want him to play being just one practice back.
While receiver Randall Cobb (core) won't be activated from injured reserve this week, LaFleur believes center Josh Myers (knee) will play Sunday. The rookie second-round pick was designated to return off injured reserve this week. He last played in Week 5 at Cincinnati.
"I think Josh has done an outstanding job," LaFleur said. "He's looked really good at practice. I would anticipate him playing in this game."
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers (toe) practiced for the second day in a row on Friday, the first time he's done that since midseason. Rodgers, and tight ends Dominique Dafney (ankle) and Marcedes Lewis (veteran rest) didn't receive a game statuses and are expected to be available against Detroit.
Lions quarterback Jared Goff (knee) is listed as questionable but head coach Dan Campbell said Friday morning that he expects Goff to return after a two-game absence.
The Lions ruled out fullback Jason Cabinda (knee), and listed five others as questionable: defensive end Michael Brockers (neck), guard Jonah Jackson (elbow/knee), linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin (shoulder), tight end Brock Wright (groin) and receiver Josh Reynolds (thigh).
