Packers' Lukas Van Ness: Available against Minnesota
Van Ness (illness/foot) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Vikings, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Van Ness managed to fade an injury tag for Week 18 despite being limited in practice all week by a foot injury and illness. However, the Packers are locked in as the NFC's seventh seed, so he could operate on a snap count or be held out of Sunday's regular-season finale entirely. If Van Ness's snaps are limited, then Arron Mosby, Brenton Cox and Barryn Sorrell would be in line for more snaps on defense.

Packers' Lukas Van Ness: Limited in practice Wednesday
Van Ness (illness/foot) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
It's a good sign for Van Ness' chance of playing Sunday versus Minnesota that he was able to log a limited practice Wednesday, but it should also be noted that the Packers plan to rest at least some of their starters Week 18 with the team locked into the No. 7 playoff seed in the NFC. The third-year defensive lineman has been dealing with a nagging foot injury since mid-October, and Green Bay may elect to give him a lesser workload (if any) with the postseason on the horizon.

Packers' Lukas Van Ness: Ready for Saturday
Van Ness (foot) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Saturday's game against the Bears, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Van Ness upgraded his practice participation twice this week, allowing him to shed his injury designation before Saturday's divisional contest. The defensive end is all set to see an increased workload in Saturday's game due to the season-ending ACL tear that Micah Parsons suffered against the Broncos in Week 15.

Packers' Lukas Van Ness: Upgrades to limited practice
Van Ness (foot) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Van Ness was listed as a non-participant at Tuesday's walkthrough practice, so it's encouraging to see him back on the field in at least a limited capacity. He managed to play through his lingering foot injury during Green Bay's loss to Denver in Week 15, recording two solo tackles while playing 21 percent of defensive snaps. With Micah Parsons (ACL) having suffered a season-ending injury versus the Broncos, Van Ness is now positioned for an increased role on defense as long as he can gain clearance for Saturday's matchup against the Bears.

Packers' Lukas Van Ness: Good to go Week 15
Van Ness (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Van Ness has been cleared to play Sunday after working through a foot injury over the Packers' last eight games. His return bolster's the Packers' depth on the defensive line behind Rashan Gary and Micah Parsons.

Packers' Lukas Van Ness: Chance to play vs. Denver
Van Ness (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Van Ness has missed seven of the Packers' last eight games due to a foot injury, but he has a chance to return Sunday after logging a full week of limited practices. If he's given the green light to return, he would operate in a rotational role at defensive end behind starters Rashan Gary and Micah Parsons.

Packers' Lukas Van Ness: Back at practice Wednesday
Van Ness (foot) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
Van Ness had not practiced at all since aggravating a nagging foot injury in Week 12 versus the Vikings, so Wednesday marked a big step toward getting back into game action. He'll still probably need to manage a full practice Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Packers' Lukas Van Ness: Won't play Week 14
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' Lukas Van Ness: Still not practicing
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' Lukas Van Ness: Return may not be imminent
Van Ness (foot) was spotted in a walking boot Monday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Van Ness has been hampered by a foot injury for much of the season and attempted a return in Week 12 against the Vikings. However, he managed only six defensive snaps in that game and was inactive for Week 13. In comments to the media, Van Ness said that he's focused on rehab, so it sounds as if he could be in for at least one more absence in Week 14 against the Bears.

Packers' Lukas Van Ness: Ruled out to face Lions
Van Ness (foot) did not practice Wednesday and is ruled out for Thursday's game against Detroit, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Van Ness returned from a five-game absence and took the field Week 12 versus the Vikings, but he played only six defensive snaps and appears to have aggravated the injury. He didn't practice in any capacity prior to being ruled out for Thursday's divisional contest, and coach Matt LaFleur said Van Ness is "day-to-day." His next opportunity to suit up will come Sunday, Dec. 7 against the Bears in Week 14.

Packers' Lukas Van Ness: Estimated as DNP on Monday
Van Ness (foot) was listed as DNP on Monday's estimated practice report, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Van Ness missed five straight games with a foot injury prior to returning to the lineup Sunday against the Vikings. However, he played a season-low six defensive snaps against Minnesota and may have aggravated the injury.

Packers' Lukas Van Ness: Good to go Sunday
Van Ness (foot) is active for Sunday's matchup with the Vikings, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
The edge rusher entered the day with a questionable tag after practicing on a limited basis throughout the week. Van Ness last played in Week 6, though he was on the field for 45 percent of the defensive snaps or more in each of Green Bay's first four games of 2025. His usage may not match that number in his first game back.
