GREEN BAY, Wis. — Green Bay Packers linebacker Quay Walker has cleared concussion protocol in a move that makes him available to play Sunday in Atlanta. The 2022 first-round pick from Georgia had left the Packers' season-opening 38-20 victory at Chicago after scoring on a 37-yard interception return. Green Bay also elevated safety Innis Gaines and running back Patrick Taylor from the practice squad to the active roster for Sunday's game with the Falcons. Taylor's elevation could provide the Packers some insurance in the event running back Aaron Jones is unable to play. Jones didn't practice this week due to a hamstring injury.
