Brooks (ankle) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Bears, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

An ankle injury prevented Brooks from playing in Green Bay's Thanksgiving win over Detroit, but he has been cleared to return for Sunday's NFC North tilt after logging a full practice Friday. Brooks' return is a welcome one for the Packers after Devonte Wyatt (ankle) was placed on injured reserve, and the former will likely start alongside Colby Wooden at defensive tackle for the rest of the season.

Brooks (ankle) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Brooks was injured in Week 12 and missed the Week 13 win over the Lions, but his limited participation provides a decent chance to return in Sunday's matchup versus the Bears. His return to the lineup will be vital against the Bears' second-ranked run offense, especially with DT Devonte Wyatt (ankle) done for the season. Brooks has recorded 17 tackles (four solo) through 11 games.

Brooks (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Lions, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brooks managed to play through his ankle injury Week 12 against the Vikings and played seven total snaps (four on defense, three on special teams), but he hasn't practiced in any capacity since. His next chance to retake the field will arrive Sunday, Dec. 7 against the Bears in Week 14.

Brooks (ankle) did not participate in Tuesday's walkthrough practice.

EDGE Analysis

Brooks was able to play through an ankle injury against the Vikings on Sunday, though he was limited to just seven snaps (four on defense, three on special teams). He has been sidelined for each of the first two walkthrough practices of Week 13 prep, and his practice participation Wednesday will factor into his chances of playing Thanksgiving Day against the Lions. Nazir Stackhouse and Warren Brinson would be in line for more rotational snaps at defensive tackle if Brooks is not cleared to play against Detroit.

Brooks (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The defensive tackle entered the day with a questionable tag but appears healthy enough to play. Brooks has played on more than half the defensive snaps in all 10 of Green Bay's games this season. He has 17 tackles (four solo), including 0.5 sacks, and a pass breakup on the year.

Brooks (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brooks has appeared in all 10 games this season, producing 17 tackles (four solo), including 0.5 sacks, five QB hits and one pass breakup on 62 percent of the defensive snaps. Nazir Stackhouse and Warren Brinson would be in line for more snaps should Brooks not be able to play.

Brooks finished the 2024 season with 24 tackles (14 solo), including 3.5 sacks, three fumble recoveries, two pass breakups and one forced fumble across 17 regular-season contests.

EDGE Analysis

Taken in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft out of Bowling Green, Brooks appeared in all 17 games for the second straight season, though he's yet to make a start. He saw a leap in playing time, though, going from 34 percent of the defensive snaps as a rookie to 41 percent in 2024. Brooks' 3.5 sacks were tied for fifth-most on the team, and with Tedarrell Slaton slated to become a free agent in March, Brooks could be in line for an elevated role next season.

Brooks recorded 20 tackles (12 solo), 4.0 sacks, four pass deflections, a forced fumble and two fumble recoveries over 17 games in the 2023 season.

EDGE Analysis

Brooks was not selected until the sixth round of the 2023 draft, but he made a number of plays despite playing only 34 percent of the defensive snaps. Given his impact, he could push for a bigger role in his second season.

Brooks logged two tackles (two solo) including a sack during Thursday's loss to the Lions.

EDGE Analysis

Brooks has now registered two sacks through his first four career games despite playing a rotational role behind Devonte Wyatt. The rookie sixth-round pick is currently tied for third on the team in sacks and will look to continue to produce for Green Bay.
