Nixon (neck) was listed as DNP on Monday's estimated practice report, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Nixon exited in the first half of Sunday's win over the Vikings and was unable to return after he was diagnosed with a neck stinger. With Nixon sidelined, Kamal Hadden played 70 percent of the defensive snaps against Minnesota.

Coach Jonathan Gannon said Monday that Murray (foot) is "working hard to get healthy," Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports. "That's what he's doing right now," Gannon added. "He's in every meeting. He's engaged. He's rehabbing a boat load of time in there."

Murray has been sidelined since he last suited up Week 5 due to a mid-foot sprain, but because the Cardinals didn't place him on injured reserve until before a Week 10 matchup with the Seahawks, he isn't eligible to return until Sunday, Dec. 7 against the Rams, at the earliest. Having said that, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported on Nov. 9 that Murray isn't expected to start again this season unless an injury befalls fellow QB Jacoby Brissett, who has racked up 1,887 yards, 11 touchdowns and three interceptions in six starts since Murray got injured. Murray thus may be facing a backup role whenever he's cleared for game action down the stretch, but he remains embedded in his recovery at the moment.

Musgrave was targeted twice and caught one pass for seven yards in Sunday's 23-6 victory over the Vikings.

The Packers used their tight ends in almost the exact same fashion as they did in Week 11, with John FitzPatrick playing the most snaps and Josh Whyle and Musgrave sharing the work behind him. As also was the case in Week 11, none of them -- including Musgrave -- made a noticeable fantasy impact.

Jackson was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate due to a toe issue, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

In Week 11, knee soreness led to a Wednesday 'DNP' for Jackson, while in Week 12 an ankle issue was cited for the QB's absence that Wednesday. This time around, Jackson is listed with a toe injury, but at this stage there's nothing to suggest that his status for Thursday's game against the Bengals is in any danger. Tuesday's injury report will provide further context on that front, but it's worth noting that each of the last two weeks Jackson practiced fully both Thursday and Friday.

Vaki (ankle) was limited on Monday's estimated practice report.

Seemingly injured for most of the season, Vaki has dealt with hamstring, groin and ankle issues in 2025 and has appeared in just five games. He's logged a total of one offensive snap and 82 on special teams, rushing one time for four yards while returning a pair of kickoffs for 39 yards.

Saylors (back) was limited on Monday's estimated practice report.

Saylors has been dealing with a back issue for most of November. He's logged a total of six offensive snaps all season but is a fixture on special teams for the Lions. Saylors has returned 26 kickoffs for 699 scoreless yards while producing six tackles (four solo).

Walker (neck) is listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Walker was unable to practice in any capacity prior to being ruled out for Week 12, so although Green Bay didn't actually host a practice Monday, it's encouraging to see him listed as a limited participant. The starting linebacker will have two more chances to ramp up his activity at practice prior to Thursday's divisional clash with the Lions.

Branch (toe) was limited on Monday's estimated practice report.

Branch dealt with some toe issues in practice last week but ultimately played all 82 defensive snaps in Sunday's overtime win over the Giants. He should be fine for Thursday's Thanksgiving bout with the Packers.

The Falcons signed Osborn to the practice squad Monday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.

Osborn spent time with the Commanders during the offseason, but he wasn't able to earn a spot on the team's initial 53-man roster. Now, he'll provide Atlanta with emergency depth at wide receiver while star wideout Drake London (knee) works his way back from a PCL sprain.

Brooks had eight carries for 21 yards and one reception for five yards in Sunday's 23-6 victory over the Vikings.

The nine touches were the most Brooks has recorded in a game since joining the Packers in 2024, but they came in a contest in which starter Josh Jacobs (knee) sat out and fellow reserve Emanuel Wilson touched the ball a whopping 30 times. Brooks could again be busier than usual if Jacobs is unable to play Thursday against the Lions, but in such a scenario he would still be the No. 2 option behind Wilson.
