A key starter on each side of the football will be a game-time decision for the Green Bay Packers in their NFC wild-card playoff matchup Sunday in Dallas.
Receiver Christian Watson and cornerback Jaire Alexander are questionable on the team’s injury report.
Coach Matt LaFleur said last week he played “gamesmanship” with Watson’s status, believing all along his top receiver would be unavailable against the Chicago Bears. He said the uncertainty of Watson’s status is “legit” this week, meaning he has progressed and the chances are significantly better he could return from his hamstring injury against the Cowboys.
LaFleur also said the uncertainty around Alexander’s ankle injury also is legitimate.
“We don’t know,” LaFleur said. “We’re just trying to give him up to game time to kind of figure it out. He will legitimately be a game-time decision.”
Running back AJ Dillon is doubtful to play against the Cowboys. Dillon missed last week’s game because of a stinger he got the previous week in Minnesota.
Every other player on the Packers roster practiced Friday. The team stayed indoors because of a snowstorm that forced the Packers to push Saturday afternoon’s flight to Dallas back one hour.
Receiver Romeo Doubs was dropped from the injury report, meaning he will play Sunday after leaving last week’s game with a chest injury
