Packers CB Keisean Nixon misses practice ahead of matchup with Cowboys WR duo
Packers CB Keisean Nixon didn't practice on Wednesday. That's a big deal with a matchup against CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens looming.
Green Bay Packers starter Keisean Nixon did not take part in Wednesday's practice due to a groin injury. Backup cornerback Benjamin St-Juste also missed practice on Wednesday after suffering a hamstring injury in Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears. The duo was among five players who were unable to practice, including wide receiver Skyy Moore and defensive linemen Javon Hargrave and Jonathan Ford.
The Packers will resume practice on Thursday and Friday before issuing a final injury report on Friday. With the Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens set to face the Packers in Sunday Night Football in Week 6, the absence of Nixon and St-Juste is a significant blow. Lamb, coming off a quad injury last year, ranks third in the NFL with 507 receiving yards.
Together, Lamb and Pickens have amassed 862 receiving yards through five games, just nine fewer than Christian Watson and Matthew Golden. Nixon has been the Packers' top cornerback in 2026, allowing only one interception and 21 catches for 197 yards over 189 coverage snaps in five games. The currently healthy cornerbacks for the Packers include rookies Brandon Cisse and Javon Bullard, veteran Carrington Valentine, slot specialist Kamal Hadden, and rookie sixth-round pick Domani Jackson, who is available on the practice squad.
