Packers Questionable Linebacker Quay Walker Ahead Panthers Game

Green Bay Packers linebacker Quay Walker is questionable for the upcoming game against the Carolina Panthers due to a calf injury that caused him to miss Thursday's practice. Packers coach Matt LaFleur confirmed Walker missed practice as a precaution and noted the linebacker was "feeling a little something" but expected to try practicing on Friday. Walker, a defensive captain and team leader in tackles, will be closely monitored during Friday's practice to determine his availability for Sunday’s game. The Packers have other injury concerns, including Nick Niemann, who is out with a pectoral injury, which could increase the role of second-year linebacker Ty'Ron Hopper if Walker is sidelined. The Panthers face their own challenges on the offensive line with multiple injured linemen, raising questions about their ability to protect quarterback Bryce Young. This matchup will test the Packers' defense against a Carolina offense dealing with significant personnel issues.
