The Green Bay Packers’ beleaguered special teams will enter the playoffs without a vital cog. Before Wednesday’s practice, coach Matt LaFleur

GREEN BAY - The Green Bay Packers held a walkthrough practice Jan. 6 as they prepare to open the playoffs against the Chicago Bears in the NFC wild-card round. Since the team didn't hold a full practice, participation reports are an estimation, and only one player was held out.

The Green Bay Packers had 52 players of the 53-man active roster participate during their Jan. 7 practice ahead of the wild-card playoff game.

The Packers made two more changes to the practice squad on Thursday, signing one player and placing another on injured reserve.

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said earlier this week that expects quarterback Malik Willis and right tackle Zach Tom to be available against the Bears.

The Green Bay Packers have signed QB Desmond Ridder to the active roster from the practice squad and released QB Clayton Tune.

The Green Bay Packers had three players absent during their Jan. 1 practice, while ex-Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs made his debut.

The Green Bay Packers are signing former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Desmond Ridder to their 16-man practice squad, according to a report from NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. The Packers are dealing with multiple injuries at the quarterback position and Ridder can provide some depth as they prepare for the postseason.
