Packers' Evan Williams: Could be done for regular season
Rotowire
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said after Monday's 34-0 win over the Saints that Williams is unlikely to play in the final two games of the regular season due to a quadricep injury, but the rookie safety is expected to be available for the start of the playoffs, Zach Jacobson of 247Sports.com reports.
Williams was a late addition to the Packers' injury report after suffering a quad injury in Saturday's practice, resulting in him missing Monday's contest. LaFleur's postgame comments seem to indicate that Williams will be out for at least two more contests, and if that's the case, the 23-year-old will close out the regular season with 49 tackles, one interception and one forced fumble over 13 appearances. Zayne Anderson started at safety alongside Xavier McKinney on Monday in Williams' stead, finishing with three tackles (two solo) and an interception.

Packers' Javon Bullard: Won't play Monday
Rotowire
Bullard (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game versus the Saints.

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

Alexander has been battling a PCL injury that's kept him sidelined for each of the last four weeks. The 27-year-old participated in full for three straight days during Week 16 prep, though he's clearly still not fully healthy.

Rotowire
Walker (ankle) is not practicing Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Packers' Edgerrin Cooper: Flashes in Week 15
Rotowire
Cooper racked up seven tackles (six solo) a sack, an interception and two pass deflections in Sunday's 30-13 victory over the Seahawks.
Cooper returned from a three-game absence in style, leading his team in tackles while picking up both the third full sack and first interception of his professional career. Cooper was on the field for only 34 of the 59 plays that Green Bay's defense recorded, but don't be surprised to see him more involved moving forward -- particularly if fellow linebacker Quay Walker (ankle) is forced to miss time.
