What to know from the Packers' first injury report of Week 9 vs. the Lions

The Green Bay Packers released the team's first injury report in Week 9 on Wednesday. The team will release two more injury reports, including a final injury report with the official game status designation, before Sunday's showdown with the Detroit Lions on Friday.

Here's everything to know from the Packers' first injury report of Week 9:

— Seven players did not participate Wednesday: quarterback Jordan Love (groin), cornerback Zaire Alexander (knee), running back Josh Jacobs (ankle), center Josh Myers (wrist), left guard Elton Jenkins (glute), left tackle Rasheed Walker (knee). ) and safety Evan Williams (hamstring). All seven are starters. Love, Alexander, Jacobs, Walker and Williams are dealing with fresh injuries coming out of Sunday's win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

— Coach Matt LaFleur said Love is considered day-to-day and will have a full week to prepare for the game. He will probably decide during a game. Jacobs expects to play despite missing Wednesday's practice.

— Jenkins played through a glute injury after missing Wednesday's practice last week. Hope to find him on Sunday. Walker suffered a knee injury earlier this season but did not miss time.

— LaFleur said Williams felt something in his hamstring pre-game last Sunday but tried to play through it. He left the game and did not return.

— Linebacker Quay Walker went through the concussion protocol. He was a full participant on Wednesday.

— Cornerback Corey Ballentine (ankle) returned to practice after missing last week's win at Jacksonville. He was limited.

— Defensive linemen Kenny Clark (toe/shoulder) and Devonte Watt (ankle) both practiced in a limited capacity. Clark continues to play through a toe injury, but his shoulder injury is a new one this week. The veteran needs a bye week to finally recover. Watt returned to game action last week after missing three games.

— The Packers removed cornerback Keisian Nixon (hamstring), wide receivers Jayden Reed (ankle) and Christian Watson (ankle) and defensive lineman Colby Wooden (knee) from the injury report to start Week 9. Both have recovered from past injuries.

— The Lions were without 10 players in Wednesday's practice, but five were not injured and listed as “rested.” However, quarterback Jared Goff (ankle), left tackle Taylor Decker (chest) and linebacker Malcolm Rodriquez (ankle) did not practice due to injuries. Defensive lineman Josh Paschal is still dealing with an illness and has not practiced. The Packers are beaten, but there's plenty to monitor from Detroit's side throughout this week.
