The Green Bay Packers are reportedly expected to miss a defensive starter in their Week 7 contest against the Denver Broncos.

The Packers went into their Bye Week with several key players on offense and defense battling injuries. The Packers were hoping to get Aaron Jones, who was out in Week 5 with a hamstring injury, back to normal this week. Jones has been back to practice since Monday this week and should be good to go.
The Packers had mostly good news on their Wednesday injury report. Quay Walker and Darnell Savage had to leave the Las Vegas Raiders game early due to injury. They were back to practice Wednesday. In fact, everyone not on injured reserve, except for one player, was back to practice Wednesday.

But that lone player, De’Vondre Campbell, is expected to miss the Broncos matchup.
According to Wes Hodkiewicz with the Packers, head coach Matt LaFleur said Campbell is doubtful to play the Broncos due to his ankle injury.
Per LaFleur: Aaron Jones, Eric Stokes & Quay Walker were among those limited today.
Adds that De'Vondre Campbell (ankle, DNP today) is likely doubtful for this week. #Packers

Campbell suffered the injury in Week 3 against the New Orleans Saints. He has been unable to play since Week 3. Hopefully, the Packers have better news for Campbell, at least by next week. It’s concerning he’s still not practicing in Week 7 as the team comes off their Bye Week.
If Campbell is unable to go in Week 8, the Packers should have placed him on injured reserve after the Saints game.
