In preparation for their Thanksgiving showdown against the Detroit Lions, the Green Bay Packers have released their injury report, shedding light on the availability of key players for the upcoming game.

Running back Aaron Jones, who has been dealing with a knee injury, has officially been ruled out for the game. This comes as a blow to the Packers' running game, as Jones has been a pivotal part of their offense throughout the season.

Tight end Josiah Deguara is listed as doubtful for the Thanksgiving game due to a hip injury. Though not officially ruled out, his availability remains in question and his participation may be limited.

On the defensive side of the ball, cornerback Jaire Alexander's shoulder injury has kept him out of the past two games. His status is listed as questionable, leaving the possibility open for a return against the Lions. Alexander's presence would undoubtedly bolster the Packers' secondary.

Linebacker De'Vondre Campbell, who sustained a neck injury during the Packers' recent victory over the Los Angeles Chargers, was initially listed as a non-participant in practice on Monday and Tuesday. However, he was upgraded to a full participant on Wednesday, indicating a potential return for the Thanksgiving game.

Running back AJ Dillon, safety Rudy Ford, and wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks are all questionable for the game, with injuries to their groin, biceps, and concussion/knee respectively. Their availability will likely be determined closer to game time.

Safety Darnell Savage, who is designated to return from injured reserve, will not be suiting up for the Thanksgiving game due to a calf injury. His return date remains uncertain, but the Packers are hopeful to have him back on the field soon.

In terms of availability, no game status was issued for cornerback Corey Ballentine, defensive lineman Kenny Clark, linebacker Rashan Gary, guard Elgton Jenkins, cornerback Keisean Nixon, and wide receivers Jayden Reed and Christian Watson. These players are expected to be available for the Thanksgiving clash.

It is important to note that all participation reports provided should be treated as estimations since the Packers did not hold any practices this week. The team relied on estimated reports to gauge the current status of their players.

As the Packers prepare to face the Lions on Thanksgiving, they will have to adapt to the absence and potential limited participation of some key players. The outcome of the game will undoubtedly be influenced by how well the team adjusts to these injuries and the performance of those players who do take the field.
