Right Tackle Bryan Bulaga, who injured his knee against the Patriots and did not play in the second half was in pads and was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday.
Safety Kentrell Brice, who also hurt his knee against New England, was also limited on Wednesday as was inside linebacker Blake Martinez. Martinez turned his ankle in last Sunday’s game.
Two Packers players did not practice: tight end Jimmy Graham has missed multiple practices this season due to a knee injury and cornerback Kevin King who hurt his hamstring against the Patriots.
Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was a full participant for a Wednesday practice for the second week in row. He said he does not plan on wearing a knee brace for the second consecutive week.
The Packers also made some roster moves as WR/KR Trevor Davis was designated for return from injured reserve on Wednesday according to the NFL Transaction Wire. Davis was placed on IR on Sept. 11 after the season opener against the Chicago Bears with a hamstring injury. Davis was available to practice Wednesday but cannot return until week 10 against the Seattle Seahawks.
Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill has been ruled out of Sunday’s game at Green Bay because of a throwing shoulder injury, and replacement Brock Osweiler will make his fifth consecutive start.
The Dolphins have a bye next week, which means Tannehill won’t be back until Week 12 at the earliest. Coach Adam Gase said the goal is for Tannehill to return for the Indianapolis game Nov. 25.
Miami is 5-4 overall, and 2-2 with Osweiler starting.
Tannehill is throwing but hasn’t participated fully in practice in more than a month. The Packers game will be the 25th he has missed out of the past 30 because of injuries.
In the NBA tonight, the Bucks continue their west coast swing with a game at Golden State. Milwaukee is 8-2 on the season.
