Packers Release Friday's Injury Report Ahead of Week 2 Game Against Vikings

Unlike most first-year head coaches, Matt LaFleur isn't going to talk about injuries. If the media and fans want to know the status of the players who are banged up, just look at the injury report.

Here's a look at the Green Bay Packers' injury report heading into their Week 2 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings, after LaFleur instructed the media to gather information from that.

This is all you're getting from Packers coach Matt LaFleur on injuries: "I'm not going to get into the injuries anymore. So you guys see the report." So, here's the report, and we'll keep digging. https://t.co/KKpusUafEQ pic.twitter.com/yc8oUMSurR

The first two on the list catch your eye, with cornerback Jaire Alexander dealing with a knee injury and offensive tackle David Bakhtiari bothered by a bad back. Unlike Bakhtiari, who did not participate in practice on Thursday, Alexander was a limited participant.

It also doesn't help that Jimmy Graham and Kevin King were limited either.

Alexander was limited yesterday. He wasn’t out entirely like Bakhtiari was.

Of the players listed on the injury report, only linebacker Oren Burks, who has a partially torn peck, remains out and won't play against Minnesota.

Packers fans should keep a close eye on the progress of those who were limited on Thursday.
