Rotowire
Dillard (concussion) is inactive for Sunday's NFC wild-card game against the Eagles, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Dillard wasn't active for the Packers' regular-season finale against the Bears due to a concussion. He was a full participant in Friday's practice, but he wasn't able to clear the league's five-step concussion protocol ahead of Sunday's playoff opener. Kadeem Telfort and Travis Glover will serve as the Packers' backup offensive tackles behind starters Rasheed Walker and Zach Tom due to Dillard's absence.

Rotowire
Cox (foot) is active for Sunday's NFC wild-card game against the Eagles, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Cox was unable to play in the Packers' regular-season finale against the Bears due to a foot injury he picked up in Week 17 against the Vikings. He was a limited participant in practice all week, and he's progressed enough in his recovery to play in Sunday's wild-card game. Cox and Kingsley Enagbare will serve as the Packers' top rotational defensive ends behind starters Rashan Gary and Lukas Van Ness.

Packers' Evan Williams: Will play in wild-card round
Rotowire
Williams (quadriceps) is active for Sunday's NFC wild-card game against the Eagles, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Williams suffered a quadriceps injury in Week 15 against the Seahawks, which was severe enough for him to not play or practice over the final three weeks of the regular season. He managed to return to practice Wednesday and was a limited participant in all three sessions this past week, and he's done enough to be cleared to play Sunday. Williams and Xavier McKinney will serve as Green Bay's starting safeties while Javon Bullard and Kitan Oladapo operate as the backups due to Zayne Anderson (concussion) being inactive.

Packers' Quay Walker: Good to go against Philadelphia
Rotowire
Walker (ankle) is active for Sunday's NFC wild-card game against the Eagles, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Walker missed the Packers' final three games of the regular season due to an ankle injury. He was a limited participant in practice all week, and the 2022 first-round pick has progressed enough in his recovery to play in the Packers' playoff opener. Walker will start alongside Edgerrin Cooper and Isaiah McDuffie while Eric Wilson and Ty'Ron Hopper provide rotational depth at linebacker.
The Packers signed Clifford from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday.
Clifford was elevated twice during the regular season when Jordan Love was sidelined Weeks 2 and 3 due to a knee injury, though Clifford didn't see any action as Malik Willis' backup. Both Love and Willis are in line to suit up in Sunday's wild-card contest against the Eagles, but both were limited by injuries during practice this week, so Clifford is expected to serve as Green Bay's emergency third quarterback, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
