Wednesday brings the final Packers injury report before Thursday night

With no game Tuesday night, Matthew Golden's status for Panthers at Packers is the first lineup call of Week 8. The Colts trade market, Jeremiyah Love's practice return and the Giants backfield are also on the board.

  • There is no NFL game Tuesday night, so Wednesday's practice reports and trade calls are the next news that can move RSO lineups. The biggest item is the Packers' final injury report before Panthers at Packers on Thursday Night Football, 8:15 PM ET on Prime Video. The Colts also stay open for business after two trades Tuesday, per Adam Schefter.

  • Thursday night in Green Bay

    Matthew Golden has not practiced Monday or Tuesday with shoulder and foot injuries, per Green Bay's estimated reports shared by Underdog NFL and ProFootballTalk. Zaire Franklin, Travis Glover and Sean Rhyan also sat Tuesday, while Devonte Wyatt and Anthony Campbell were limited. Wednesday's report comes with game designations, and it is the last one before kickoff.

    Colts trade market

    Indianapolis sent Quenton Nelson to Seattle for a 2027 third and a 2028 fifth, then sent DeForest Buckner to San Francisco for a 2027 fourth. Schefter lists Jonathan Taylor and Josh Downs as other possible targets, though he also said Colts ownership does not want to move Taylor. Jordan Schultz says receiver-needy teams have called about Downs. The Jets hold the Colts' 2027 first-round pick.

    Cardinals backfield and receivers

    Coach Mike LaFleur said Jeremiyah Love returns to practice Wednesday after missing two games with a left ankle injury. Arizona plays at Dallas on Sunday. The Cardinals also worked out four receivers Tuesday, Ronnie Bell, Zay Jones, James Proche and Xavier Guillory, per Schefter, after Jalen Brooks said a wrist injury ends his season.

    Giants backfield

    New York put Tyrone Tracy Jr. on injured reserve with a hamstring injury Tuesday, so Wednesday's practice work shows who handles his carries.

    What RSO owners should do now

    If you start Golden, set a backup from a Sunday or Monday game before Thursday. If you roster Taylor or Downs, hold for now. A trade changes their offense, and you'll want to see the new depth chart before you sell. Love owners should wait for Friday's report before starting him at Dallas.

  • What to watch next

    Watch for Golden's Wednesday participation and designation, Love's practice level, any Arizona receiver signing and any new Colts deal.
