GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) – The NFL regular season is officially back, and the Packers have released their injury report ahead of their home and season opener against the Lions on Sunday afternoon, with numerous players listed as questionable.
The biggest name on the week one injury report — defensive lineman and recent acquisition Micah Parsons, who is dealing with a back injury.

Six others were listed as questionable, with three in the wide receiver room, as well as cornerback Nate Hobbs, who participated in a limited fashion on Thursday for his first on-field work since July 31.
Parsons was limited in all four of the practices that Green Bay held during the week; however, when asked about his availability, he said it was ‘completely up to coaching.’
“It’s a process of getting ready for football,” Parsons said, according to a release. “I just got plenty of faith that this great training staff and the coaches are slowly getting me the plays and getting me things that I need if we decide to give me the green light out there.”
Jordan Love, who had a thumb injury, and Elgton Jenkins, who was dealing with a hip problem, were not given a game status. Both will play on Sunday afternoon.
