Packers' Javon Bullard: Not in concussion protocol
Rotowire
Bullard did not suffer a concussion in Sunday's win over the Bengals, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Bullard passed the concussion check Sunday and said it felt more like a stinger. It's still unclear if he will be able to play in next Sunday's Week 7 game against the Cardinals. Bullard has posted 27 tackles (19 solo) on 71 percent of the Packers' defensive snaps through five appearances.

Packers' Javon Bullard: Being evaluated for concussion
Rotowire
Bullard (head) is being evaluated for a potential concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Packers.
Bullard sustained a concussion in Week 3 against the Browns, so he'll be closely looked at by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. Nate Hobbs and Bo Melton are candidates to see more snaps in the secondary for as long as Bullard is out of the game.

Packers' Javon Bullard: Questionable for Week 4
Rotowire
Bullard (concussion) is questionable to play Sunday night against the Cowboys, Aaron Nagler of Cheesehead TV reports.
Bullard was able to log a pair of limited practices Thursday and Friday after suffering a concussion in the team's 13-10 loss to the Browns in Week 3. It's unclear if the 23-year-old has cleared concussion protocol, and if Bullard can't go in Dallas, Nate Hobbs would stand to see an increase in workload at slot cornerback in his place.

Packers' Javon Bullard: Upgrades to limited Thursday
Rotowire
Bullard (concussion) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Bullard entered the league's concussion protocol following his diagnosis after Sunday's game against the Browns. He didn't practice Wednesday, but his ability to return to practice Thursday -- albeit in a limited capacity -- indicates that he is progressing through the five-step concussion protocol. Friday's practice report will indicate Bullard's chances of playing against the Cowboys on Sunday. If he's not cleared to play, Nate Hobbs would be in line for more snaps at slot corner.

Packers' Javon Bullard: In concussion protocol
Rotowire
Head coach Matt LaFleur said Monday that Bullard is in the concussion protocol following the Packers' 13-10 loss to the Browns on Sunday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
It's unclear when Bullard suffered the injury, but he will have to pass through the league's five-step concussion protocol before returning to action, which puts him in jeopardy of missing the Packers' Week 4 clash against the Cowboys on Sunday night. Bullard's absence would open the door for Nate Hobbs to see additional work at slot corner if Bullard is not cleared to play.

Packers' Javon Bullard: Five solo tackles vs. Washington
Rotowire
Bullard logged five solo tackles during the Packers' 27-18 win over the Commanders on Thursday.
Although Bullard wasn't listed as a starter for Week 2, he still saw the field for 58 defensive snaps and finished second on the Packers in solo tackles behind Edgerrin Cooper (seven). Even with Xavier McKinney and Evan Williams serving as the starting safeties, Bullard should continue to hold a meaningful role in the Packers' defense, especially when the team rolls out an additional defensive back.

Packers' Javon Bullard: Notches nine tackles
Rotowire
Bullard tallied nine tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 27-13 victory over the Lions.
Bullard started at safety alongside Xavier McKinney and finished second in tackles among Packers defenders in Week 1. When Green Bay puts extra defensive backs on the field, Bullard will generally be used in the slot while Evan Williams works at safety, but playing closer to the ball could allow the former more opportunities to rack up stops.

Packers' Javon Bullard: Ready to rock
Rotowire
Bullard (ankle) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Eagles, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Bullard was sidelined for two weeks late in the season due to an ankle injury, but he played through the issue in Green Bay's last two regular-season games, recording 16 total tackles across 120 defensive snaps. His availability for the wild-card round was in question after logging a week of limited practice sessions; however, it now appears he'll continue to play through the injury. Expect the 2024 second-round pick from Georgia to serve as Green Bay's top slot defender Sunday.

Packers' Javon Bullard: Still working through ankle injury
Rotowire
Bullard (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Bullard was sidelined for Week 15 and 16 due to an ankle injury, but he managed to play through the issue in the Packers' final two games of the regular season. The rookie second-round pick should be able to suit up against Philadelphia in Sunday's wild-card round game unless he suffers a setback during practice this week. Bullard finished his first NFL regular season with 90 tackles (61 solo), one pass defense and one fumble recovery across 15 games.

Packers' Javon Bullard: Nursing ankle injury
Rotowire
Bullard (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Bullard co-led the Packers in tackles during their Week 17 loss to the Vikings, but he appears to have picked up an ankle injury in the process. The rookie second-round pick would avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's divisional game against the Bears if he were able to practice fully Friday.
Bullard recorded 11 total tackles (nine solo) in Sunday's 27-25 loss to the Vikings.
Bullard returned from injury and tied Edgerrin Cooper as the Packers' leading tackler in Sunday's narrow loss, tying his career best of 11 tackles in a single game. The rookie safety from Georgia has been an integral part of Green Bay's defense this season, recording 85 total tackles and one pass defended over 14 appearances. With Evan Williams (quadriceps) likely out of the Packers' Week 18 matchup against the Bears, Bullard is expected to start alongside Xavier McKinney as part of Green Bay's top safety duo.

Packers' Javon Bullard: Won't play Monday
Rotowire
Bullard (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game versus the Saints.
Bullard missed last Sunday's win over the Seahawks with an ankle injury, which also kept him sidelined during practice Thursday, Friday and Saturday this week. The rookie safety will now turn his attention toward getting healthy for the matchup versus Minnesota on Sunday, Dec. 29. With Bullard out and fellow rookie Evan Williams (quad) listed as questionable, it's possible that core special-teamer Zayne Anderson will have to step into a starting role opposite free safety Xavier McKinney.

Rotowire
Bullard (ankle) didn't practice Friday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Bullard has not returned to practice since sustaining an ankle injury in the Packers' Week 14 loss to the Lions. He likely needs to practice in a limited capacity Saturday to have a chance at suiting up Monday night, when the Packers host the Saints.

Packers' Javon Bullard: Doesn't practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Bullard (ankle) did not practice Wednesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Bullard hurt his ankle Week 14 against the Lions and was deemed week-to-week by Packers coach Matt LaFleur, so it's no surprise that the rookie didn't practice Wednesday. While it's not yet certain that he won't be able to suit up Sunday in Seattle, things appear to be trending that way. Bullard has been an every-week starter for the Packers during his first NFL campaign and hasn't yet missed a game.

Packers' Javon Bullard: May miss time
Rotowire
Head coach Matt LaFleur stated Monday that Bullard (ankle) is week-to-week, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
Bullard suffered the injury in Thursday's loss to the Lions and left the locker room that night with a boot and crutches. His week-to-week status suggests he's likely a longshot to recover in time to suit up Sunday against the Seahawks, but a firmer stance on his status will likely come later in the week when Green Bay releases its first injury report.

Bullard, who's transitioned from playing safety to playing in the slot, has now posted 66 total tackles and one pass defended across his first 11 games in the NFL.
