Walker registered nine tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 28-21 Week 14 victory against the Bears.
Walker's tackle total was second-highest on the Packers behind Edgerrin Cooper (11). In addition, Walker tallied his highest number of stops since Week 7, when he also made nine tackles against Arizona. Perhaps most promisingly, Walker was able to log every one of Green Bay's 70 defensive snaps after missing the previous two games due to a neck injury.

Packers' Micah Parsons: Quiet output in Week 14 win
Rotowire
Parsons finished Sunday's 28-21 victory against Chicago with one assisted tackle and two QB hits.
Parsons reached Chicago QB Caleb Williams on two occasions, but he wasn't able to extend his sack streak to three games. The talented pass rusher still has a good chance of surpassing his career-best regular-season mark of 14.0 sacks, as he's at 12.5 sacks with four games left on the schedule.
Williams totaled seven tackles (four solo) and a defensed pass in Sunday's 28-21 Week 14 win over the Bears.
Williams tied for third on Green Bay with his seven tackles. He also posted his third defensed pass over his past four contests. Williams has been steady in a near-every-down role in his second NFL season, registering 87 tackles and five defensed passes (including three interceptions) across 13 games.

Rotowire
McDuffie registered six tackles (three solo) in a 28-21 Week 14 win over Chicago on Sunday.
McDuffie finished fifth on Green Bay in tackles in the victory. He's now posted at least six tackles in seven of his past eight games, with the exception being a Week 9 loss to Carolina when he logged a 33 percent defensive snap share. McDuffie is up to 72 tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and an interception through 13 contests on the campaign.

Packers' Xavier McKinney: Tallies seven tackles in win
Rotowire
McKinney recorded seven tackles (three solo) during Sunday's 28-21 win versus the Bears.
McKinney played all 68 of Green Bay's defensive snaps in Week 14, and he racked up seven-plus tackles for the sixth time this season. He's still on pace to surpass 100 tackles for the second time in his career, but he might spend more time in coverage in a Week 15 matchup at Denver.

Packers' Edgerrin Cooper: Leading tackler in win
Rotowire
Cooper recorded 11 tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 28-21 win versus the Bears.
Cooper was on the field for all 68 of Green Bay's defensive snaps in Week 14, and he got up to double digits in the tackle department for the fourth time this year. With 97 tackles on the season through 13 games, it would be surprising if he didn't pass the century mark in a Week 15 tilt at Denver.

Packers' Kristian Welch: Out with concussion
Rotowire
Welch (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's contest against the Bears.
Welch took a blow to the head in the divisional battle and he'll now enter concussion protocol ahead of Week 15. In the meantime, his absence doesn't carry any impact on the Packers' defense versus Chicago.

Packers' Nate Hobbs: Will play Week 14
Rotowire
Hobbs (knee) is active for Green Bay's game versus the Bears on Sunday, Mike Spofford of the team's official site reports.
Hobbs is set to make his return to the field after missing the last four games with a knee injury. The 26-year-old should resume his role as a depth corner during Sunday's matchup.

Packers' Javon Bullard: Active vs. Bears
Rotowire
Bullard (ankle) will play in Green Bay's matchup against the Bears on Sunday, Mike Spofford of the team's official site reports.
Bullard is officially good to go despite having missed two practices earlier in the week. The 2024 second-round pick has recorded 59 tackles (37 solo) in 12 outings this season and should continue to serve as the team's starting slot cornerback versus Chicago.

Packers' Collin Oliver: Ruled out for Week 14
Rotowire
Oliver (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Bears, Weston Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Oliver has been dealing with the hamstring injury since training camp and was able to return to practice Monday. He officially logged three limited practices ahead of Sunday's game against the Bears, but he will not be ready for his pro debut.

Packers' Lukas Van Ness: Won't play Week 14
Rotowire
Van Ness (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Van Ness aggravated a foot injury during the Packers' Week 12 win over the Vikings. He has been unable to practice since the aggravation, so he'll aim to return to practice in at least a limited capacity ahead of the Packers' Week 15 clash against the Broncos on Sunday, Dec. 14. Kingsley Enagbare should continue to see more rotational snaps at defensive end behind Rashan Gary and Micah Parsons for as long as Van Ness is sidelined.

Packers' Nate Hobbs: Tagged as questionable Week 14
Rotowire
Hobbs (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Hobbs was limited in practice all week due to an MCL sprain, but he has a chance to be cleared to return from a four-game absence. If he is given the green light to play Sunday, then Hobbs could be moved to the slot corner position if Javon Bullard (ankle) doesn't suit up.

Packers' Javon Bullard: Questionable for Week 14
Rotowire
Bullard (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Bullard missed the last two practices of the week while tending to an ankle injury, but he was still tagged as questionable and has a chance to be cleared to play if he goes through Sunday's pregame warmups without sustaining a setback. If Bullard doesn't play, then Bo Melton and/or Kamal Hadden could be thrust into the slot corner position for Week 14.

Packers' Karl Brooks: Cleared to play vs. Chicago
Rotowire
Brooks (ankle) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Bears, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
An ankle injury prevented Brooks from playing in Green Bay's Thanksgiving win over Detroit, but he has been cleared to return for Sunday's NFC North tilt after logging a full practice Friday. Brooks' return is a welcome one for the Packers after Devonte Wyatt (ankle) was placed on injured reserve, and the former will likely start alongside Colby Wooden at defensive tackle for the rest of the season.

Packers' Javon Bullard: Absent from practice
Rotowire
Bullard (ankle) was a non-participant at practice Thursday.
Bullard went backwards after opening the week as a limited participant Wednesday due to the ankle injury that has bothered him for the last two weeks. The safety's status for Sunday's matchup against the Bears is now in question, and he'll have one more chance to return to practice Friday.

Packers' Edgerrin Cooper: Logs full practice Thursday
Rotowire
Cooper (shoulder) was a full participant at practice Thursday.
Cooper was able to up his participation after opening the week with a limited session Wednesday due to a shoulder injury. The linebacker now appears to be set to play Sunday against the Bears, but he'll have one more practice Friday to fully prove his health.

Packers' Quay Walker: Full practice Thursday
Rotowire
Walker (neck) was a full participant at practice Thursday.
Walker was able to log a full practice after opening the week as a limited participant Wednesday. The linebacker has missed two straight games with a neck injury, but he appears to be on track to return to action Sunday against the Bears.

Packers' Karl Brooks: Logs limited session
Rotowire
Brooks (ankle) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.
Brooks was injured in Week 12 and missed the Week 13 win over the Lions, but his limited participation provides him a decent chance to return in Sunday's matchup versus the Bears. His return to the lineup will be vital against the Bears' second-ranked run offense, especially with DT Devonte Wyatt (ankle) done for the season. Brooks has recorded 17 tackles (four solo) through 11 games.

Packers' Lukas Van Ness: Still not practicing
Rotowire
Van Ness (foot) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice.
Van Ness missed last week's win over the Lions and was spotted in a walking boot Monday, signaling that he may not be that close to returning to action. It would be a positive signal if he could return to the practice field in a limited fashion this week. If he's unable to play again, Kingsley Enagbare should handle extra reps in this Sunday's divisional clash versus the Bears.

Packers' Nate Hobbs: Still limited in practice
Rotowire
Hobbs (knee) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.
Hobbs opened last week's short practice week as a limited participant but was unable to play in last Thursday's win over the Lions. The fifth-year cornerback will look to progress further and make his first appearance since Week 9 in this Sunday's matchup versus the Bears. It's unclear what kind of role Hobbs will have upon his return to the lineup, but he should settle in with at least 50 percent of the defensive snaps once he's fully healthy.
