The Green Bay Packers and Houston Texans square off on Sunday in a battle of playoff hopefuls. The Packers go into the game with a 4-2 record and are fresh off a Week 6 win over the Arizona Cardinals. The Texans enter the matchup with a 5-1 record and are hot off the heels of a Week 6 win over the New England Patriots.
Let's take a look at the injury report for both teams.
Green Bay Packers vs. Houston Texans injury report
Here's a look at the injury report for the Packers and Texans.
Green Bay Packers injury report
Let's examine three key Packers ahead of Sunday's game:
Jaire Alexander's injury update
According to CBS Sports, Jaire Alexander was limited at practice on Thursday. The Pro Bowler cornerback is dealing with a groin issue.
Alexander made his return from a two-game absence in Week 6 against the Arizona Cardinals, and he racked up a stat line of one solo tackle, one pass defended and one fumble recovery across 44 defensive snaps. Barring any unfortunate scenarios, he should be available for the Texans matchup.
Christian Watson's injury update
Per reports, Christian Watson was limited at Thursday's training session. The veteran wide receiver is dealing with an ankle issue.
Watson has recorded consecutively limited sessions ahead of Week 7's showdown against the Texans. It's important to note that he missed his team's Week 5 game due to a left ankle injury. Barring any setbacks, he's expected to play some part versus Houston.
Devonte Wyatt's injury update
According to CBS Sports, Devonte Wyatt did not participate in Thursday's training session. The experienced defensive lineman last played in Week 4 when he suffered an ankle injury against the Minnesota Vikings.
Wyatt must now feature in some capacity on Friday if he's to have even a remote chance of playing against the Texans.
Houston Texans injury report
Let's examine three key Texans ahead of Sunday's game:
Robert Woods's injury update
Per reports, Robert Woods did not practice on Thursday. The Texans wide receiver is dealing with a foot injury.
Woods missed last week's win over the New England Patriots. His continued absence due to injury makes it unlikely that he'll suit up against the Packers in Week 7.
Joe Mixon's injury update
According to CBS Sports, Joe Mixon was a limited participant in Thursday's practice session. Mixon is dealing with an ankle niggle.
The dynamic running back was impressive in his return from a three-game absence in Week 6. Mixon put up a stat line of 13 rushes for 102 rushing yards and a touchdown versus the Patriots. Barring any unfortunate occurrences, he should feature against the Packers.
Laremy Tunsil's injury update
Veteran offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil reportedly participated fully in Thursday's practice. Tunsil suffered an ankle injury in Week 6 against the Patriots but seems to have recovered.
Tunsil participated only briefly in Wednesday's practice session, but his elevation on Thursday means that he's almost a lock to feature against Green Bay.
