On Thursday, Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur stated that the illness that’s floating around the Packers’ locker room this week is the flu. On Wednesday, safety Tariq Carpenter, receiver Randall Cobb, kicker Mason Crosby, safety Rudy Ford and tackle Rasheed Walker were either limited or non-participants in practice with a listed illness. Today, tight end Robert Tonyan joined the group after being a full participant in Wednesday’s practice.
The good news, though, is that Carpenter and Ford returned to practice as full participants on Thursday, meaning they’ll likely be able to play against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday Night Football.
