The Packers have opened Skyy Moore’s return-to-practice window.
Zaire Franklin, Sean Rhyan still DNPs.
Javon Bullard a new DNP.
Trey Smack has a calf injury, seemingly not ideal for a kicker.
And more on the first injury report of the week:
Crazy phrasing from Taylor but another example of a coach having to answer questions about something out of his purview.

Kevin O'Connell stops short of saying that Kirk Cousins will start Sunday vs. the Packers, but obviously trending that way.
O'Connell says Kyler Murray (hamstring) remains week to week.
Matt LaFleur on the magnitude of Sunday’s game vs. Minnesota:
“The reality is we’re in last place in our division right now.”
Micah Parsons will do some team, 11-on-11 work this week but not today. They’re doing a jog-through only and Parsons has an illness, per LaFleur.
Packers coach Matt LaFleur, who coached Kirk Cousins in Washington way back when, has no doubt his former QB will play on Sunday for the Vikings:
"He'll be starting. I'm fairly confident of that.”
LaFleur said he was stunned that the Vikings only had to give up a third-round pick.
Matt LaFleur was noncommittal on Monday about whether Jacobs would go on IR and this is why:

Kyle McCord, whom the Dolphins acquired last summer from the Packers, becomes Miami’s new starting quarterback. QB Brady Cook is on the practice squad.
Cousins will be back at Lambeau, where he played his last game for the Vikings before he tore his Achilles in 2023.
Packers OC Adam Stenavich said they challenged RB Kaleb Johnson to “run hard, run angry” and that’s what he saw on Sunday vs. NE.
Also said, Johnson worked hard on his pass protection during the time he was inactive and that showed up, too.
Packers DC Jonathan Gannon said no matter who plays QB for the Vikings on Sunday (even if that guy isn’t on the roster) they will have “a plan ready to go for anybody they put out there.”
Packers ST coordinator Cam Achord said they tried to slow down Trey Smack’s pre-kick process.
Even after making all 7 kicks vs. New England, Smack said he wasn’t happy with his contact even on the 51-yarder.
Achord said the ball striking was improved “but still not back to where we want it.”
Heading into Sunday’s game against the Packers.
Vikings are left at a QB crossroads after Carson Wentz’s poor MNF showing vs. the Bills.
