GREEN BAY – The Packers have listed cornerback Corey Ballentine (knee) questionable for Sunday's game against Seattle and ruled out cornerback Jaire Alexander (knee), safety Javon Bullard (ankle) and tight end Luke Musgrave (ankle).
Musgrave is not currently on the Packers' 53-man roster. He was designated to return from injured reserve on Wednesday, opening his 21-day window for activation.
Head Coach Matt LaFleur confirmed after practice on Friday both safety Evan Williams and receiver Romeo Doubs have cleared the concussion protocol. Both were full participants on Thursday and Friday, and are expected to play in Seattle.
Alexander was a full participant on Wednesday and Thursday before not practicing Friday. The All-Pro cornerback first injured his knee against Jacksonville on Oct. 26 and hasn't played since a 10-snap appearance against Chicago in Week 11.
"Just based on what I saw over the last couple days, I didn't feel like he's ready to play," said LaFleur after practice. "There's certain requirements to get out there and go play; certain speeds and whatnot, when you're not hitting them, you're not ready to play."
In addition to Doubs and Williams, linebacker Edgerrin Cooperwas upgraded to full participation on Friday and doesn't carry a game status. The rookie second-round pick missed the past three games with a hamstring injury. Cooper has 52 tackles, 2½ sacks and a forced fumble in 10 games this season.
"It's been a long, long three weeks," said Cooper on Thursday. "I'm just ready to go out there and just play as hard as I can and make plays."
Other Packers players who didn't issue a game status and are expected to be available: linebacker Isaiah McDuffie (ankle), center Josh Myers (pectoral), defensive lineman Lukas Van Ness (thumb), tackle Rasheed Walker (knee), tackle Travis Glover (illness), guard/tackle Elgton Jenkins (rest), and defensive lineman Kenny Clark (rest).
The Seahawks have ruled out five for Sunday: cornerback Tre Brown (hamstring), safety Jerrick Reed II (quadricep), tight end Brady Russell (foot), tackle Stone Forsythe (hand), and safety K'Von Wallace (ankle).
Running back Kenneth Walker III (calf) and cornerback Artie Burns (toe) are doubtful. If Walker can't go, second-year running back Zach Charbonnet rushed for 134 yards and two touchdowns in place of Walker last week against Arizona.
Forsythe, Wallace and Burns are all on injured reserve and not currently on Seattle's active roster.
