The Green Bay Packers inched closer to full strength on Wednesday as they continued preparations for Saturday’s Wild Card Round matchup against the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field.
The biggest development came in the secondary, where safety Javon Bullard (knee) was limited again after leaving Week 18 early but remains firmly on track to play. That matters for a Packers defense that relies heavily on Bullard’s versatility in sub-packages. On the flip side, Bo Melton (knee) was officially placed on injured reserve after not practicing Tuesday, ending his season and thinning Green Bay’s depth in the slot. If Bullard were to have a setback later in the week, the Packers would be forced deeper into their safety rotation — something the Bears would undoubtedly try to exploit.
Up front, right tackle Zach Tom (back/knee) remained limited for the second straight day but continues to trend toward playing. His availability is critical against a Bears front that’s leaned more aggressively on pressure down the stretch. Defensive linemen Warren Brinson (foot) and Lukas Van Ness (foot) were both on the field, with Van Ness logging full participation — a good sign for a Green Bay pass rush that will be tested by Chicago’s improved protection.
At linebacker, Edgerrin Cooper (shoulder) upgraded to full participation after being limited on Tuesday, while Nick Niemann (pectoral) stayed limited. Cooper’s return to full speed is notable given his role in run support and coverage, especially against a Bears offense that leans heavily on play-action.
On offense, wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (concussion) remained limited and is still working his way through protocol, making his status one to watch heading into Thursday. Matthew Golden (Achilles) practiced fully for the second straight day, while quarterback Malik Willis (right shoulder/hamstring) remained limited but continues to track toward serving as the backup.
