Packers' Devonte Wyatt: Will play vs. Jacksonville
Rotowire
Wyatt (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Wyatt suffered an ankle injury in Week 4 against the Vikings, but after practicing in a limited capacity this week, the 2022 first-round pick will make his return from a three-game absence and play Sunday. Wyatt will reclaim his starting spot on the Packers' interior defensive line next to Kenny Clark.

Packers' Devonte Wyatt: Could return in Week 8
Rotowire
Wyatt (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars, Wes Hodklewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
The Georgia product returned to practice this week in a limited fashion after missing the Packers' last three games due to an ankle injury, and he's got a chance to suit up in Week 8. However, if Wyatt is forced to miss his fourth consecutive game Sunday, expect Colby Wooden and Tedarrell Slaton to see increased snaps with Green Bay's first-team defensive line.

Packers' Devonte Wyatt: Returns to practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Wyatt (ankle) was listed as a limited practice participant on the Packers' injury report Wednesday.
Wednesday's session was the first practice Wyatt has participated in since injuring his ankle in Week 4 against the Vikings. It's an encouraging sign for the 2022 first-round pick, and if he's able to practice Thursday and Friday, he could return from a three-game absence and suit up against the Jaguars on Sunday. Wyatt has logged 10 tackles (eight solo), including 3.0 sacks, and one fumble recovery across four regular-season games.

Wyatt has yet to practice since sustaining an ankle injury in the Packers' Week 4 loss to the Vikings, and he's now set to miss his third consecutive game Sunday.

Packers' Devonte Wyatt: Doesn't practice Thursday
Rotowire
Wyatt (ankle) did not participate in Thursday's practice session.
Wyatt has been a DNP for both practices this week due to an ankle injury he sustained in Week 4 against the Vikings. He looks to be a long shot to play Sunday against the Rams, though he would give himself a chance at suiting up if he were to practice in at least a limited capacity Friday. Tedarrell Slaton would be the top candidate to start at defensive tackle alongside Kenny Clark (toe) if Wyatt is unable to play Sunday.

Packers' Devonte Wyatt: Goes to sidelines
Rotowire
Wyatt (ankle) exited Sunday's game against the Vikings.
Wyatt had three total tackles, including one for a loss, before exiting the Week 4 matchup. With the game late in the fourth quarter, it's probably unlikely the Georgia product will return. Assuming he doesn't, his next chance to play will come Week 5 against the Rams.

Packers' Devonte Wyatt: Tacks on two sacks
Rotowire
Wyatt recorded four tackles (three solo), including 2.0 sacks, in Sunday's 30-14 victory over the Titans.
Wyatt is now up to 3.0 sacks on the season, which puts him well on his way to surpassing the career-best 5.5 sacks he recorded in 2023. The Packers are giving eight players regular snaps on the defensive line, and Wyatt -- despite not having logged a start through three weeks -- will certainly remain one of them.

Packers' Devonte Wyatt: Plays 36 snaps vs. Eagles
Rotowire
Wyatt registered one solo tackle and a fumble recovery in Friday's 34-29 loss to the Eagles.
Wyatt worked as a reserve in the Packers' 4-3 defense, and he ended up playing 36 of 74 defensive snaps, three less than starter Tedarrell Slaton. Wyatt recovered a Jalen Hurts fumble during the first quarter, which led to a 23-yard field goal from Brayden Narveson eight plays later. Wyatt -- the Packers' first-round selection in the 2022 NFL Draft -- should continue to serve prominently in the defensive scheme for Week 2 against the Colts.

Packers' Devonte Wyatt: Increased role ahead
Rotowire
Wyatt will move into a more significant role with Dean Lowry (calf) placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Wyatt was the team's selection in the first round of the 2022 Draft, but he's failed to make an impact thus far in his rookie season. Through 14 contests, Wyatt has played just 148 defensive snaps, recording 13 tackles (six solo) and 0.5 sacks. He'll now work to make the most of his extra opportunities beginning Sunday against the Vikings.

Packers' Devonte Wyatt: Goes to Green Bay in first round
Rotowire
The Packers selected Wyatt in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 28th overall.
The Packers exit the first round with no wide receivers, and both of their selections were Georgia defenders; linebacker Quay Walker at 22nd overall and now Wyatt. Wyatt (6-foot-3, 304 pounds) is more of a gap-shooting tackle than one who takes on double teams, but with a 4.77-second 40 he has the burst to thrive in a gap-splitting role.
