The Green Bay Packers got good news on three of their most important players ahead of Sunday's showdown with the Detroit Lions.
Quarterback Jordan Love and receivers Christian Watson and Matthew Golden do not have a status designation on the final injury report released Friday and will play against the Lions.
Love dealt with back soreness coming out of last Sunday night's win over the Dallas Cowboys. While limited during Wednesday's walk-through practice, Love got in full practices on both Thursday and Friday and is good to go for Sunday. He never believed he was in danger of missing the important NFC North showdown with the Lions.
Watson (ankle) and Golden (shoulder) both had new injuries to start the week, but neither missed practice during the week and both are
off the injury report ahead of Sunday. Their injuries can be considered minor.
The Packers need all three players at their best in a potential shootout with the Lions at Ford Field. The offense's passing attack has been a strength of the Packers, with Love ranking third in the NFL in passing yards entering Week 7, while both Watson (fifth) and Golden (sixth) rank in the top six players in receiving yards.
Running back Josh Jacobs, who missed the first six games while on the exempt list, practiced all three days this week and is expected to play against the Lions.
The only player the Packers ruled out on the final injury report of Week 7 was linebacker Zaire Franklin, who is dealing with a shin injury.
