GREEN BAY – The Packers have listed tight end Luke Musgrave (ankle), linebacker De'Vondre Campbell (ankle), cornerback Jaire Alexander (back), and center Josh Myers (ankle) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings.
Musgrave returned to practice on Friday after sitting out with the ankle injury he sustained on Sunday in Denver. The 6-foot-6, 253-pound tight end is second on the team with 22 catches for 189 yards through the first six games of the season.
Musgrave, who wore a walking boot earlier in the week, told reporters after Friday's practice he feels mentally prepared to play against the Vikings if cleared physically.
"He's super mature for a rookie and I'll tell you what he's one tough sucker now," said Head Coach Matt LaFleur of Musgrave. "I don't think too many guys would've been able to come back that quickly from what happened to him. It just shows his toughness, his grit, his desire to want to be out there to help the team win.
"To have him, if he's available on Sunday, would be a big plus for us."
Myers sat out of Wednesday's practice before being limited on Thursday and a full participant on Friday. Alexander was limited on both Wednesday and Friday, while sitting out of Thursday's padded practice.
Campbell, who's missed the past three games, returned to practice last Friday and continued to participate this week in a limited capacity.
"He's fighting to play, for sure," said LaFleur of Campbell. "He's another one of those guys we're going to make that determination on Sunday."
Green Bay did not issue a game status for running back Aaron Jones, who has been limited with a hamstring injury. The former Pro Bowler had 11 touches on 23 snaps against Denver.
"He's been doing a little bit more," said LaFleur of Jones. "But we're still going to be smart with him. I don't think he's 100% by any stretch."
In addition to Jones, the Packers didn't issue a game status for the following players who all are expected to be available: guard Elgton Jenkins (knee), defensive lineman Devonte Wyatt (knee), safety Zayne Anderson (hamstring), receiver link-placeholder-3, tackle Yosh Nijman (knee), and linebacker Preston Smith (illness).
Minnesota ruled out linebacker Brian Asamoah (ankle) and listed guard Ezra Cleveland (foot) and receiver Jalen Nailor (hamstring) as questionable.
Nailor is currently on injured reserve with a designation to return.
