The bye week came at a good time for the Green Bay Packers. They’re getting even healthier heading into Week 7’s matchup with the Denver Broncos.
Green Bay could get back several key starters against Denver, including running back Aaron Jones, inside linebacker Key Walker and safety Darnell Savage.
The Packers desperately needed a bye week to get healthy, scout and adjust after blowout losses to the Detroit Lions and Las Vegas Raiders. They will look to get things under control Sunday against the Broncos.
Green Bay’s latest injury status following Wednesday’s practice is below.

Head coach Matt LaFleur said it’s “doubtful” whether Devondre Campbell will play Sunday against the Broncos, but he’s not disappointed. They had hoped to have him back after a bye, but Campbell’s return from injury will likely have to wait at least another week.
However, there is also a lot of encouraging injury news. Eric Stokes, who hasn’t played since suffering a season-ending injury against the Detroit Lions in Week 9 of last season, could make his long-awaited return. The Packers will likely use him on the snap count in his first game back, but it would be great to see him in a game when he returns. Stokes could play this week.
Green Bay also hopes to get Darnell Savage and Key Walker back from injury. Both players suffered injuries in Week 5 against the Las Vegas Raiders, but have played well this season. Hopefully they can come back this week.
