The Packers Just Got the Comeback They Desperately Needed — and It Could Change Everything.QQ
Wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks missed the past three games due to a calf injury he suffered during practice.
The Green Bay Packers lost tight end Tucker Kraft, they are still without Jayden Reed. At the moment when they need their healthy offensive weapons the most, there’s a positive update ahead of the Philadelphia Eagles on “Monday Night Football.” Wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks, who missed the last three games with a calf injury, has a shot at playing even though he’s officially listed as questionable.

Because the Packers only play on Monday, the injury reports come on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Wicks returned to practice on a limited basis on Thursday. Wicks participated in the activities all week, and seemingly moved well, so the indications are promising.

If he plays, Wicks should have an expanded offensive role. While the starting wide receivers are Romeo Doubs, Matthew Golden, and Christian Watson, Golden didn’t practice on Friday and Saturday with a shoulder injury, and Savion Williams is also questionable with a foot issue. Moreover, Watson has just recently returned from his knee injury.
Wicks is the most natural of the options to play in the slot while Reed is out. This season, in six games, the third-year receiver played 52 percent of his snaps inside. While the offense won’t go through him necessarily, Wicks offers an intriguing ability to create separation.
Hands were a problem last year, with Wicks having an insane 17 percent drop rate. However, this number has gone down to 7.1 percent so far this season, even if the efficiency of his rookie year hasn’t necessarily come back. So far this season, Dontayvion Wicks has had 13 catches for 134 yards.
