Overview
- Coach Matt LaFleur confirmed Van Ness entered the concussion protocol on Monday and Hargrave entered on Wednesday after both showed delayed symptoms from Sunday’s game.
- Thursday’s practice saw Van Ness take limited padded reps while Hargrave was ruled a non-participant, leaving Hargrave in doubt to play on Sunday.
- Defensive tackle Warren Brinson remained out with a preseason calf injury and is unlikely to be available, while cornerback Brandon Cisse was removed from the Packers’ injury report.
- Van Ness logged the most snaps among Packers edge rushers in Week 1 with 43, compared with Hargrave’s 30 snaps, a gap that would shape rotation and pass-rush plans if either is ruled out.
- The Packers and Jets will publish the official Friday injury report and the players must clear all protocol stages to play, and the Jets also listed edge rusher Will McDonald IV as a limited participant with an ankle issue.
