The Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles will announce their inactive players 90 minutes before kickoff on Monday night, or roughly 5:45 p.m. CT. This post will update as more information on player availability is known and official gameday inactives for Week 10 are announced.
The Packers already ruled out two key contributors on defense and listed four others as questionable, including rookie receiver Matthew Golden and two other receivers. The Eagles, meanwhile, will be without Cam Jurgens, their starting center and Jaire Alexander, a former Packer. And a key defensive player — Nolan Smith — is likely to return from injured reserve.

Who is IN for the Packers?
While the Packers had 17 players on the injury report at some point this week, only six have status designations on the final injury report. Among those without a designation who are expected to play Monday night are left guard Aaron Banks (neck), running back Josh Jacobs (rest), linebacker Edgerrin Cooper (foot), kicker Brandon McManus (right quad), defensive end Micah Parsons (pectoral/illness), linebacker Quay Walker (calf), receiver Christian Watson (knee) and defensive lineman Colby Wooden (shoulder).
Who is OUT for the Packers?
The Packers ruled out defensive end Lukas Van Ness and cornerback Nate Hobbs on the final injury report released Saturday. Van Ness has a foot injury that hasn’t healed as fast as the Packers thought, and he’ll miss a fourth straight game. Hobbs injured his knee against the Panthers last Sunday and could miss multiple games, leaving the Packers thin at corner.

Is WR Matthew Golden going to play?
The rookie first-round pick hurt his shoulder against the Panthers and missed practices on Friday and Saturday, suggesting he could be a long shot to play on Monday night. He is officially questionable. So is third-round rookie Savion Williams, who is dealing with a new foot injury. The Packers are hobbled at wide receiver entering Monday night.
Is WR Dontayvion Wicks going to play?
Wicks, the third-year receiver, has missed two straight games with a calf injury, but his return could arrive Monday night. He practiced all week and is listed as questionable. The Packers need Wicks to return and play a role right away because of all the injuries at wide receiver and the loss of Tucker Kraft, a key part of the passing game.

What about Brandon McManus and the kicker situation?
The Packers are going with Brandon McManus at kicker against the Eagles. He practiced all week and does not have a status designation going into the game. The Packers still have Lucas Havrisik on the 53-man roster, but it’s possible he’ll be inactive for a third straight week. The team admitted McManus, who has missed three field goals in the last three games, is still getting healthy after injuring his right quad a month ago.
Any other injury situations to monitor?
Right tackle Zach Tom is still working through a lingering back injury and is questionable to play, although the expectation is he will suit up on Monday night. Darian Kinnard and Anthony Belton are backup options. At corner, Nate Hobbs is out and Kamal Hadden — one of the backups — picked up a minor hamstring injury to end the week. The Packers are down to Keisean Nixon, Carrington Valentine and Bo Melton as the three healthy corners going into Monday night.
