Titans-Packers Thursday Injury Report: Jackson, Simmons back at practice

Thursday brings mostly good news and a couple roster transactions for the Titans, while the Packers saw a few guys get back on the field after sitting out or being limited yesterday.

Here’s the summary from Thursday’s injury reports…

OLB Derick Roberson (Hamstring)Limited

THOUGHTS

Thursday marked the first full practice participation for Adoree Jackson in a long time, meaning yesterday was indeed just a rest day. Simmons was also back on the field in a limited capacity, while A.J. Brown and Jonnu Smith appear to have taken a maintenance day.

Ben Jones also returned to a full participant, while Derrick Henry was given some rest time.

Chris Milton must have suffered a somewhat serious knee injury in Wednesday’s practice, as he was not on the field Thursday and later placed on Injured Reserve. Wyatt Ray was called up from the practice squad to fill the vacant roster spot, which could be a bad sign for Derick Roberson’s health.

Roberson likely suffered a hamstring injury Thursday, given the limited participation after putting in a full day Wednesday. We’ll have to check his status on Friday when we get the final designations for Sunday’s game.

THOUGHTS

A handful of Packers returned to the field Thursday, including Marcedes Lewis, Anthony Rush, Hunter Bradley, and JK Scott. It seems Jace Sternberger is trending towards not playing with concussion symptoms lingering.

I wouldn’t expect Aaron Jones, Kevin King, Za’Darius Smith, or any of the other Green Bay starters listed here to miss Sunday’s game.

More to come on Friday…
