Packers cornerback Keisean Nixon back at practice Oct. 15 ahead of Cowboys game
A key starter on the Green Bay Packers defense was back on the practice field as the team prepares to host the Dallas Cowboys.
Green Bay Packers cornerback Keisean Nixon returned to practice on October 15 following a groin injury that kept him out of the previous day's session. Coach Matt LaFleur stated Nixon was experiencing a slight discomfort in his groin area, which led to his precautionary absence. Aaron Banks, who has been contending with knee and toe injuries throughout the season and played only the first half of Week 2 against the New York Jets, participated in practice for the second consecutive day.
Benjamin St-Juste, a cornerback struggling with a hamstring injury since the start of the season and re-injuring it during the Week 5 matchup against the Chicago Bears, was again absent from practice. Skyy Moore, a receiver and return specialist who suffered an ankle injury during the Bears game, remained sidelined. Despite participating in warmups, defensive tackle Jonathan Ford was absent from drills due to a previously reported calf injury.
Guard Jacob Monk, who returned to practice on October 9 after a quadricep injury, reappeared again on October 15. Anthony Campbell, another defensive tackle who was ruled out for the third straight game due to an ankle injury in Week 2, was present for practice. Receiver Savion Williams, who returned to practice on October 7 opening his 21-day practice window, was also on the field.
Finally, defensive tackle Jordon Riley, who had a season-ending Achilles injury during last season's Week 17 game against the Baltimore Ravens, returned to practice for the second consecutive day. Riley suffered the injury and was initially placed on the physically-unable-to-perform list.
