Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur addressed Keisean Nixon’s status Tuesday as the team prepared for a short-week Thanksgiving game against the Detroit Lions. Nixon was limited in the team’s walkthrough while several other starters dealt with injuries, and LaFleur described the cornerback’s availability as a game-time decision.
Nixon left Sunday’s win over Minnesota with a stinger and did not finish the game, prompting concern about his ability to handle the physical demands of the division matchup. Green Bay made a cautious plan, monitoring his progress through light practices and daily examinations to avoid aggravating the neck issue.
