Lazard brought in five of 11 targets for 57 yards in the Packers' 27-17 loss to the Titans on Thursday night.
EDGE Analysis
Lazard paced the Packers in targets on the night, but he wasn't very efficient with his volume. However, he did finish second in receptions and receiving yards for Green Bay, with his last catch a clutch third-down conversion on the team's final drive. Lazard is offering solid but unspectacular production since putting up a season-high 116-yard effort against the Patriots in Week 4, topping out at six catches and 87 yards as far as single-game highs over the last six contests. Lazard may have an uphill battle improving on those numbers in a Week 12 road matchup against the Eagles a week from Sunday night.

Lazard (shoulder) doesn't have a designation for Thursday's contest against the Titans, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Despite being listed as a limited participant on all three Week 11 practice reports due to a lingering shoulder injury, Lazard will be available to a Packers offense without rookie wide receiver Romeo Doubs, who is missing a second game in a row due to a high-ankle sprain. Lazard doesn't have a problem seeing a large snap share when available due to his reliability in all situations, but his output can vary wildly. During Christian Watson's breakout this past Sunday versus the Cowboys, Lazard turned a season-high 98 percent share of snaps into just three catches (on four targets) for 45 yards.

Lazard (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant at Tuesday's walk-through practice.
EDGE Analysis
Lazard is maintaining his same listing from Monday's estimated report, but the Packers haven't provided any indication he suffered any setback with the shoulder issue after he played 60 snaps in this past Sunday's 31-28 overtime win over the Cowboys. Since sitting out a Week 8 loss to Buffalo with the injury, Lazard has played north of 85 percent of the Packers' snaps on offense in the subsequent two contests while stringing together a 7-132-1 receiving line on 14 targets. Lazard is expected to be ready to go for Thursday's game against the Titans, but the Packers' final Week 11 injury report Wednesday will reveal whether he carries a designation into that contest.

Lazard (shoulder) was listed as limited on Monday's estimated injury report.
EDGE Analysis
Since sitting out Week 8 due to a shoulder issue, Lazard has been under practice limitations that now have continued into Week 11 prep. Still, he's handled snap shares of 87 and 98 percent the last two games en route to a cumulative 7-132-1 line on 14 targets. With Romeo Doubs sidelined due to a high-ankle sprain, Lazard will continue to be one of the top targets for quarterback Aaron Rodgers (thumb, DNP on Monday), assuming the duo again is active Thursday against the Titans.

Lazard (shoulder) caught three of four targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 31-28 overtime win over the Cowboys.
EDGE Analysis
Lazard was able to suit up after being limited during practice with a shoulder injury. The four targets marked the lowest total for the veteran wideout since Week 2 (three targets). The low volume can be attributed to Aaron Rodgers attempting a season-low 20 passes. Fellow receiver Christian Watson exploded for three touchdowns, which also contributed to Lazard's reduced usage. Romeo Doubs (ankle) is expected to miss multiple weeks, and Lazard should continue to see plenty of opportunities for the Packers ahead of a tilt against the Titans on Thursday.

Lazard (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
Lazard sat out Green Bay's Week 8 loss to Buffalo but returned Week 9 and caught four passes for 87 yards and a touchdown in a loss to Detroit while playing 88 percent of the snaps on offense. With Romeo Doubs suffering a high-ankle sprain Week 9 and expected to miss multiple games, Lazard is locked in as Aaron Rodgers' favorite target and has a good chance to extend a six-game streak with four or more catches and six or more targets. He's yet to have a huge game this year despite scoring touchdowns in five of seven appearances, as his lone outing with more than 100 yards was one of the two in which he didn't find the end zone.

Lazard (shoulder) was limited in practice Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lazard maintained his activity level from the first session of Week 10 prep, as did running back Aaron Jones (ankle), while quarterback Aaron Rodgers (right thumb) and fellow wide receiver Sammy Watkins (knee) joined them after sitting out Wednesday. With rookie WR Romeo Doubs expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks due to a high-ankle sprain, Lazard and any other skill-position player that's available is in line for additional targets. First, though, Lazard will have one more chance to practice in full before potentially getting a designation for Sunday's game versus the Cowboys.

Lazard (shoulder) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Packers are as banged-up as they've been all season, with quarterback Aaron Rodgers (right thumb) and fellow wide receivers Romeo Doubs (ankle) and Sammy Watkins sitting out Wednesday, Aaron Jones (ankle) joining Lazard as limited, and Christian Watson (concussion protocol) practicing in full. As long as Lazard is able to play through his shoulder concern, he'll be in line for a significant workload considering the state of the team's skill-position group. In his last five appearances, he's earned between seven and 10 targets per game en route to a cumulative 24-369-3 receiving line.

Lazard (shoulder) finished with four receptions (10 targets) for 87 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 15-9 loss to the Lions.
EDGE Analysis
Lazard returned from a one-game absence with a vengeance, reclaiming his No. 1 wideout role and posting numbers in accordance with that title. The 26-year-old has produced a healthy 30/427/5 line through seven games this season. Fellow starter Romeo Doubs (ankle) was carted off the field Sunday, so Lazard should continue to see heavy targets as one of the few remaining receivers Aaron Rodgers can trust heading into a matchup against the Cowboys next Sunday.

Lazard (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Lions, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lazard couldn't advance beyond limited participation in practice this week, but he demonstrated enough progress in his recovery from the shoulder injury that sidelined him for last week's loss to the Bills to gain clearance to return to the lineup. He'll presumably step back in as the Packers' No. 1 receiver, a role that has translated to an average of 4.3 receptions for 56.6 yards per game. He'll have a good chance at clearing both of those averages while he faces off against a vulnerable Detroit secondary.
