Green Bay Packers receiver Allen Lazard is expected to return from an ankle injury and play in Week 2 against the Chicago Bears, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The Packers listed Lazard as questionable on Friday’s injury report.
Lazard, one of the team’s starting receivers, missed Week 1 after getting stepped on in practice ahead of the regular season opener. He returned to the practice field this week but was limited all three days.
Getting Lazard back would provide a big boost for a passing game that needs a primary target and a run game that leans on his perimeter blocking ability.
