Packers are very likely to have one of their key offensive linemen in action in Week 1, with Jordan Morgan getting a notable status update.
After being a limited participant in practice on Wednesday, Green Bay Packers left tackle and Jordan Love protector Jordan Morgan appears to be ready to give it a go for their upcoming Week 1 showdown against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.
Morgan was listed as a full participant in Thursday’s Green Bay practice, per the team’s official injury report.
However, seven other Packers players either did not practice or were limited.
Nevertheless, Morgan’s status update is a great sign for his availability in Green Bay’s season opener, which will take place on the road, particularly at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.
Green Bay still has one more practice on Friday before the Vikings clash, but that’s normally just a walkthrough, which is why Morgan’s full-participant status on Thursday is telling about his chances of being on the field for the Packers against Minnesota.
Morgan’s knee issue was why he was previously limited in practice, but he appears healthy enough to see action.
“There’s always concern when there’s a guy on the injury report,” Green Bay head coach Matt LaFleur said on Wednesday after Morgan’s name showed up on the injury report as a limited participant (h/t Jason B. Hirschhorn of The Leap). “But as far as his availability, we’re trying to build him up to get him in a spot where we feel like he’s ready to go.”
The 25-year-old Morgan is in his third NFL season. Green Bay welcomed him to the league as a first-round pick (25th overall) out of the Arizona Wildcats in the 2024 NFL Draft.
