Van Ness (foot) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Saturday's game against the Bears, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Van Ness upgraded his practice participation twice this week, earning the right to be cleared of any injury designation before Saturday's divisional contest. The defensive end is all set to see an increased workload in Saturday's game due to the season-ending injury of the premier pass rusher, Micah Parsons (ACL), in last Sunday's loss to the Broncos.

Van Ness (foot) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, asdag reports.

EDGE Analysis

Van Ness was listed as a non-participant at Tuesday's walk-through practice, so it's encouraging to see him back on the field in at least a limited capacity. He managed to play through his lingering foot injury during Green Bay's loss to Denver in Week 15, recording two solo tackles while playing 21 percent of defensive snaps. With Micah Parsons (ACL) having suffered a season-ending injury versus the Broncos, Van Ness is now positioned for an increased role on defense as long as he can gain clearance for Saturday's matchup against the Bears.

Van Ness (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Van Ness has been cleared to play Sunday after working through a foot injury over the Packers' last eight games. His return bolster's the Packers' depth on the defensive line behind Rashan Gary and Micah Parsons.

Van Ness (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Van Ness has missed seven of the Packers' last eight games due to a foot injury, but he has a chance to return Sunday after logging a full week of limited practices. If he's given the green light to return, he would operate in a rotational role at defensive end behind starters Rashan Gary and Micah Parsons.

Van Ness (foot) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Van Ness had not practiced at all since aggravating a nagging foot injury in Week 12 versus the Vikings, so Wednesday marked a big step towards getting back into game action. He'll still probably need to manage a full practice Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Van Ness (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Van Ness aggravated a foot injury during the Packers' Week 12 win over the Vikings. He has been unable to practice since the aggravation, so he'll aim to return to practice in at least a limited capacity ahead of the Packers' Week 15 clash against the Broncos on Sunday, Dec. 14. Kingsley Enagbare should continue to see more rotational snaps at defensive end behind Rashan Gary and Micah Parsons for as long as Van Ness is sidelined.

EDGE Analysis

Van Ness missed last week's win over the Lions and was spotted in a walking boot Monday, signaling that he may not be that close to returning to action. It would be a positive signal if he could return to the practice field in a limited fashion this week. If he's unable to play again, Kingsley Engabare should handle extra reps in this Sunday's divisional clash versus the Bears.

EDGE Analysis

Van Ness has been hampered by a foot injury for much of the season and attempted a return in Week 12 against the Vikings. However, he managed only six defensive snaps in that game and was inactive for Week 13. In comments to the media, Van Ness said that he's focused on rehab, so it sounds as if he could be in for at least one more absence in Week 14 against the Bears.

Van Ness (foot) did not practice Wednesday and is ruled out for Thursday's game against Detroit, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Van Ness returned from a five-game absence and took the field Week 12 versus the Vikings, but he played only six defensive snaps and appears to have aggravated the injury. He didn't practice in any capacity prior to being ruled out for Thursday's divisional contest, and coach Matt LaFleur said Van Ness is "day-to-day." His next opportunity to suit up will come Sunday, Dec. 7 against the Bears in Week 14.

Van Ness (foot) was listed as DNP on Monday's estimated practice report, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Van Ness missed five straight games with a foot injury prior to returning to the lineup Sunday against the Vikings. Van Ness, however, played a season-low six defensive snaps against Minnesota and may have aggravated the injury.
