Packers Linebacker Isaiah McDuffie Active for Thanksgiving Game Against Dolphins
Green Bay Packers linebacker Isaiah McDuffie is set to play in the team’s Thanksgiving game against the Miami Dolphins, despite being listed as questionable earlier in the week. McDuffie has been dealing with an ankle issue but has been cleared to participate in the game.
Mcduffie’s availability is crucial for the Packers, especially with the absence of linebacker Edgerrin Cooper, who was ruled out due to a hamstring injury. McDuffie has started all 11 games this season and is third on the team with 59 tackles, making his presence significant in the lineup.
In addition to McDuffie, the Packers will also have center Josh Myers and tight end John FitzPatrick active for the game. Myers has been managing a pectoral injury, while FitzPatrick has been dealing with a back issue. The team’s inactives include cornerback Jaire Alexander, linebacker Edgerrin Cooper, receiver Romeo Doubs, and rookie center Jacob Monk.
The Miami Dolphins, on the other hand, will be without starters cornerback Kendall Fuller and linebacker Anthony Walker, both of whom were ruled out due to injuries. However, Dolphins left tackle Terron Armstead, who has been dealing with a knee issue, is active and will play in the game.
