Packers-Lions Inactives, Week 17: Williams & Vitale sit, Rick Wagner out for Detroit

The Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions square off today to conclude the teams’ regular seasons, and both teams will have a couple of notable players inactive for the early afternoon game.

The Packers will be down a pair of key members of their offensive backfield. Running back Jamaal Williams and fullback Danny Vitale suffered injuries in the team’s win over the Vikings on Monday night, and both were ruled as doubtful on Friday’s injury report. Indeed, both players will sit out today’s game as inactives.

That will leave a bigger load for Aaron Jones this week and should grant some opportunities for Tyler Ervin and Dexter Williams to spell him, as both of those players are active.
