Wicks (calf) isn't practicing Thursday, Dominique Yates of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Wicks hasn't been able to practice since injuring his calf Week 7 in Arizona, already missing one game as a result. He thus has one more chance to mix into drills this week before the Packers potentially make a ruling on his status ahead of Sunday's contest against the Panthers. Romeo Doubs, Matthew Golden, Christian Watson (knee), Malik Heath and Savion Williams represent the other wide receivers on Green Bay's active roster.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Not practicing
Rotowire
Wicks (calf) didn't practice Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Wicks missed a Week 8 win over the Steelers after hurting his calf Week 7 at Arizona. He may not have much of a role even when he's healthy, as the Packers just got Christian Watson back in the lineup and then saw him put up 84 yards in his first game of the year.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Won't practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Wednesday that Wicks (calf) will not practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Wicks is working his way back from a calf injury suffered Week 7 versus Arizona, and he didn't practice at all Week 8 en route to being ruled out versus the Steelers. He appears to now be trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's game against the Panthers. That said, Wicks will have two more chances to get back on the practice field before Green Bay decides whether to assign him a game-day injury designation for Week 9.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Not playing in Week 8
Rotowire
Wicks (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Pittsburgh, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Wicks exited in the second half of last Sunday's win at Arizona due to a calf injury, and coach Matt LaFleur told Zach Kruse of USA Today on Wednesday that the third-year wide receiver wasn't in line to practice this week. Wicks indeed didn't mix into drills Wednesday through Friday and thus will miss his first game of the season. The Packers have two other question marks in the receiving corps, with Christian Watson (knee) awaiting activation from the reserve/PUP list and Matthew Golden (hip) added to the injury report Friday as limited. Green Bay's current healthy options at the position are Romeo Doubs, Malik Heath and Savion Williams.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: No practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Wicks (calf) is not participating in Wednesday's practice, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Wicks remains sidelined due to a calf injury sustained during Green Bay's win over Arizona in Week 7. In the event that Wicks isn't able to return to health in time to suit up on the road against Pittsburgh during Sunday Night Football, additional reps at the wide receiver position will be made available to Malik Heath, Savion Williams, and perhaps even Christian Watson (knee), who remains on the the reserve/PUP list but has been practicing on a limited basis.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Injures calf Sunday
Rotowire
Wicks sustained a calf injury during Sunday's game at Arizona.
Wicks dealt with an ankle injury during Week 7 prep but was able to suit up Sunday. If he's unable to return to action, he'll end the contest with one catch (on two targets) for five yards.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Suiting up Sunday
Rotowire
Wicks (ankle) is listed as active Sunday in Arizona, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Wicks made an early departure from last Sunday's win against the Bengals due to an ankle injury and subsequently was limited in all three of the Packers' Week 7 practices. However, the issue won't impact his availability for Sunday, and he'll be among Green Bay wide receivers suiting up for QB Jordan Love along with Matthew Golden, Romeo Doubs, Malik Heath and Savion Williams.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Deemed questionable for Week 7
Rotowire
Wicks (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Bo Brack of PHNX Sports reports.
Wicks was limited in all three of Green Bay's practices leading up to Sunday's clash with Arizona. If he's healthy, he should operate as Green Bays No. 3 wide receiver behind Romeo Doubs and Matthew Golden with Christian Watson (knee) still on the reserve/PUP list.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Limited in practice
Rotowire
Wicks (ankle) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
Wicks suffered an ankle injury during this past Sunday's win against the Bengals, but his ability to handle some reps to kick off Week 7 prep generally is a good sign that it isn't a long-term concern. Having said that, he likely will need to practice fully by Friday in order to avoid heading into the weekend without a designation for Sunday's road matchup with the Cardinals.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Injures ankle Sunday
Rotowire
Wicks sustained an ankle injury during Sunday's game versus the Bengals.
Prior to departing in the third quarter, Wicks notched two catches (on two targets) for 15 yards. The Packers will be rolling with Matthew Golden, Romeo Doubs, Malik Heath and Savion Williams at wide receiver while Wicks is sidelined.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Another two-catch contest
Rotowire
Wicks was targeted four times and caught two passes for 19 yards in Sunday's 40-40 tie with the Cowboys.
Wicks would have had a chance for a long-gainer had teammate Matthew Golden not been in the same area on a deep ball from quarterback Jordan Love early in the contest, but he wound up finishing with just a pair of catches for the third time in four games. The playing time has slowly ticked up for Wicks, but the production hasn't followed suit, and he could be joined at practice by fellow wideout Christian Watson (knee) following Green Bay's Week 5 bye.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Week 3 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
We'll see who benefits the most in Green Bay with Jayden Reed (collarbone) out, but Wicks saw a big boost in production in Week 2 against Washington after Reed got hurt. He had four catches for 44 yards on six targets against the Commanders, and he could emerge as a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in all leagues if his role expands. Wicks is worth adding for 5-10 percent of your remaining FAB, and I would add him first ahead of Romeo Doubs.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Four catches in Week 2 win
Rotowire
Wicks brought in four of six targets for 44 yards in the Packers' 27-18 win over the Commanders on Thursday night.
Wicks appeared to benefit from Jayden Reed's first-quarter exit due to a shoulder injury, as the former finished second across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets to Tucker Kraft. The third-year pro outpaced both Romeo Doubs and Matthew Golden by one- and four-target margins, and it remains to be seen if he'll remain a primary beneficiary beginning with a Week 3 road matchup against the Browns on Sunday, Sept 21 after Reed was diagnosed with a broken collarbone that's expected to land him on injured reserve, per Zach Jacobson of 247Sports.com.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Ready for Week 2
Rotowire
Wicks (calf) doesn't have a designation for Thursday's contest against the Commanders, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Wicks was listed as limited on all three Week 2 practice reports, but he'll continue to play through the calf injury that has bothered him since late July. Fellow WRs Jayden Reed (foot) and Matthew Golden (ankle) also have been cleared for Thursday's game, so a similar workload to Week 1 for Wicks may be on tap. During Sunday's 27-13 victory versus the Lions, Wicks earned a 46 percent snap share, ran nine routes and finished with two catches (on two targets) for 30 yards.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Limited again Tuesday
Rotowire
Wicks (calf) was a limited participant during Tuesday's walk-through practice.
Though Green Bay listed Wicks as a limited participant on its second straight practice report, head coach Matt LaFleur hasn't indicated that the third-year receiver is in any real danger of sitting out Thursday's game against the Commanders. Wicks saw modest involvement as part of a deep rotation of pass catchers in Sunday's season-opening 27-13 win over the Lions, playing 21 snaps on offense on his way to a 2-30-0 line on two targets.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Makes two receptions
Rotowire
Wicks was targeted twice and caught two passes for 30 yards in Sunday's 27-13 victory over the Lions.
A calf injury left Wicks uncertain for Week 1, but he suited up for the season opener and worked as a reserve wideout. He could get a bit more involved after averaging 4.5 targets per game a season ago, but even with Christian Watson (knee) sidelined he seemingly remains the fourth option among Packers receivers behind the trio of Jayden Reed, Matthew Golden and Romeo Doubs.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Questionable for Week 1
Rotowire
Wicks (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions.
Listed as a limited participant all week, Wicks is one of three Packers wideouts with a questionable designation, joining Jayden Reed (foot) and Savion Williams (hamstring). Wicks could have a sizable role come Sunday if he's active and Reed isn't, but Matthew Golden and Romeo Doubs still would be the much safer bets to pile up snaps/routes/targets for Green Bay. Kickoff is schedule for 4:25 p.m. ET on Sunday.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Limited again Thursday
Rotowire
Wicks (calf) practiced on a limited basis Thursday.
Wicks is one of three Packers wide receivers to operate with a cap on his reps Thursday, the others being Jayden Reed (foot) and Savion Williams (hamstring). Reed actually returned to practice after sitting out Wednesday as he tends to a Jones fracture in his left foot, which has left his status up in the air for Week 1. In the end, Friday's injury report will provide a sense of each players' odds to suit up Sunday against the Lions, though an absent Reed and/or Williams could hand Wicks a higher target share than expected to begin the campaign.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Limited Wednesday
Rotowire
Wicks (calf) practiced on a limited basis Wednesday.
Wicks has been tending to a calf injury since at least July 29 that kept him out of most practices and the entire preseason slate until he got back on the field last Wednesday. With a cap remaining on his reps to kick off Week 1 prep, he remains at less than 100 percent along with rookie third-round pick Savion Williams (hamstring), while Jayden Reed (foot) didn't participate at all Wednesday. The Packers thus have key question marks at wide receiver in advance of Sunday's contest against the Lions.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Resumes on-field work
Rotowire
Wicks (calf) took part in Wednesday's practice, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.
Wicks was on and off the practice field in the early days of training camp due to a calf injury that kept him sidelined for all sessions and preseason games since Aug. 1. Both he and Jayden Reed (foot) mixed into drills Wednesday after lengthy absences, signaling that they're ramping up ahead of Week 1 preparations. Next Wednesday's practice report will reveal whether Wicks is a full participant or still operating with limitations.
