The Green Bay Packers will have a key defender back to play against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 2. The Packers listed four players as questionable Friday: David Bakhtiari, Christian Watson, Quay Walker, and Aaron Jones.

On Saturday, the Packers announced they elevated running back Patrick Taylor, placing Jones’ status for the game in even more doubt. However, they’ll get one important player back for the defense.

The Green Bay Packers will have Quay Walker back in Week 2

According to Rob Demovsky with ESPN, linebacker Quay Walker cleared his concussion protocol and has been removed from the injury report. He’ll play against the Falcons in Week 2.

The Packers have elevated RB Patrick Taylor and DB Innis Gaines for the second straight week.

Also, LB Quay Walker has cleared the concussions protocol and therefore removed from the injury report.

Walker will be a massive help against the Atlanta Falcons backfield

That’s huge news for the Packers’ defense against a dangerous Falcons offense, with Bijan Robinson and Cordarrelle Patterson in the backfield. Walker played a significant role in the Packers’ win in Week 1 over the Chicago Bears. Walker scored a pick-six to effectively ice the victory.

Walker suffered a concussion on the play and had to leave the game. He missed Wednesday’s practice this week but was limited in participation on Thursday and Friday. Walker was listed as questionable to play on Friday’s injury report.
