Wyatt (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Wes Hodklewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Wyatt suffered a knee injury during the second quarter of the Packers' Week 4 tie with the Cowboys. Even with the Packers on a bye for Week 5, the injury was severe enough to keep him out of practice all week and rule him out for Sunday's home game. Nazir Stackhouse, Colby Wooden and rookie sixth-rounder Warren Brinson are in line to see more snaps at defensive tackle in Wyatt's absence.

Rotowire
Wyatt (knee) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.
Wyatt suffered a knee injury during the Packers' Week 4 tie against the Cowboys. He was labeled as week-to-week by head coach Matt LaFleur after the game, and the 2022 first-rounder has opened Week 6 prep with a DNP. Wyatt will have two more chances to practice in at least a limited capacity but could enter Sunday's game with the Bengals with an injury designation.
