*Kenny Clark – Important – Injury – Transaction
NT Kenny Clark (elbow) was placed on reserve/injured by the Packers Tuesday (Dec. 25).
Aaron Rodgers – Noteworthy
QB Aaron Rodgers started and played every snap in last week’s meaningless victory over the Jets. Presumably, he’ll be back in the lineup for Sunday against Detroit.
However, his blind-side protector, two-time All-Pro left tackle David Bakhtiari, did not practice on Wednesday.
Alex Light – Noteworthy – Transaction
T Alex Light had his roster exemption lifted by the Packers Tuesday (Dec. 25). He had been reinstated from reserve/suspended Monday.
Clay Matthews – Noteworthy – Injury
OLB Clay Matthews, who has 3.5 sacks, played a season-low 27 snaps against the Jets — easily his fewest of the season after averaging 48.4 snaps in the first 14 games.
He did not practice on Wednesday because of a back injury. Matthews has a chance to play in all 16 games for the first time since the 2014 and 2015 seasons.
Davante Adams – Noteworthy – Injury
WR Davante Adams, who ranks among NFL leaders with 111 receptions, 1,386 yards and 13 touchdowns, did not practice Wednesday because of a knee injury suffered in last week’s game.
He played all but four snaps in that game and caught 11 passes. “I see myself being out there,” he said. “I’m always going to be optimistic. A little sore right now, but we’ll play it throughout the week and see how it feels.
Lane Taylor – Noteworthy – Injury
LG Lane Taylor, who was knocked out of the Jets game with a leg injury, was back at practice.
Randall Cobb – Noteworthy – Injury
WR Randall Cobb, who is sixth in Packers history with 469 receptions, will be a free agent at season’s end. He missed last week’s game at the Jets with a concussion and did not practice on Wednesday.
“I think Cobb is absolutely very dynamic, very explosive,” Lions head coach Matt Patricia said. “He’s a playmaker, somebody who just does a great job of getting open in critical situations. He’s a go-to player, very well trusted by the quarterback.” Rookie receiver Equanimeous St. Brown, who has taken some of Cobb’s snaps, also is in the concussion protocol.
