Bashaud Breeland – Noteworthy – Injury
CB Bashaud Breeland, who was inactive for the Minnesota game with a groin injury, did not practice on Wednesday.
David Bakhtiari – Noteworthy – Injury
LT David Bakhtiari did not practice on Wednesday after suffering an injured left knee during the second half at Minnesota.
“He’s improving,” head coach Mike McCarthy said, adding it was “premature” to discuss the potential availability of anyone on the team’s lengthy injured list. LG Lane Taylor (quad), who missed the end of the Minnesota game, was limited participation. If they can’t play, Jason Spriggs would start at left tackle and Justin McCray at left guard.
Jimmy Graham – Noteworthy – Injury
TE Jimmy Graham caught two passes for 34 yards against Minnesota while playing with a protective device on a broken thumb.
“It’s obviously a real irritant during the week,” head coach Mike McCarthy said. “Just the process of putting it on and off is obviously uncomfortable. I would think his preparation as far as workload would be very similar to what we did last week.”
Kentrell Brice – Noteworthy – Injury
S Kentrell Brice did not practice Wednesday.
After missing the Seattle game with an ankle injury, Brice was back in the lineup against Minnesota but reinjured the ankle during the first quarter and suffered a concussion in the third quarter.

Trevor Davis – Noteworthy – Injury
WR/KR Trevor Davis, who spent most of the season on injured reserve before being activated in Week 11, will miss this week’s game after aggravating his hamstring on Sunday at Minnesota.
Davis is hoping he’ll be able to play again this season. He said, “It’s understanding triggers before they happen, so I kind of saw it coming so I laid off it a little bit. It’s feeling better than usual after certain things like this but we’ll have to see.”
