Head coach Mike McCarthy said that Saturday will be a key day for determining Shields' (concussion) availability for Sunday's game against Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

With Green Bay facing Minnesota on Sunday Night Football, the Packers will hold a Saturday practice, though it will presumably just be a walkthrough. Shields was evaluated by the medical staff Friday morning, and it sounds as if he's expected to miss at least one more practice. A Saturday return might give him a shot to play in Sunday's game.t

Shields remains in the league's concussion protocol as of Thursday morning, according to head coach Mike McCarthy.

EDGE Analysis

Shields will be forced to sit out of practice for the second day in a row while he continues to recover from the concussion he suffered in Week 1. His status for Sunday's game against the Vikings remains uncertain, but he will likely have to get some sort of work in Friday to have a shot to play this week.

Shields (head) remains in the league's concussion protocol as of Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

There still isn't an update on Shields' Week 2 status as he continues to undergo tests and treatment for his head injury suffered during Week 1's win over the Jaguars. Shields has dealt with concussion issues in the past, which could affect his status come Sunday night when the Packers play in Minnesota. Quinten Rollins and Ladarius Gunter are the top two candidates at this point to fill in opposite Damarious Randall at cornerback if Shields is unable to play.

Shields is currently undergoing concussion protocol, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

After a relatively successful job defending Allen Robinson on Sunday, Shields was forced out of the game in the second half after suffering a concussion. It should be noted he missed four games toward the end of last season as he recovered from a serious concussion. Either Quinten Rollins or Ladarius Gunter figure to fill in at cornerback opposite Damarious Randall If Shields does not pass the protocol before Week 2.

Shields is being evaluated for a concussion after Sunday's win over Jacksonville, Michael Cohen of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shields exited Sunday's game in the second half after doing a tremendous job of covering up Jaguars' star receiver Allen Robinson for most of the game. The veteran cornerback suffered a concussion towards the end of last season that held him out for four weeks, so the hope is that his head injury isn't anything serious this time around. If Shields is held out for any amount of time, expect Quinten Rollins and LaDarius Gunter to take on cornerback responsibilities alongside Damarious Randall.

Shields (concussion) is listed as active Saturday in Arizona, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Active status implies that Shields has been cleared from the concussion protocol. When compounded with the healthy scratch of rookie cornerback LaDarius Gunter, Shields appears poised to take on a significant workload, though Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com warned earlier Saturday that the veteran corner may be contained to a limited role.

Shields (concussion) is listed as questionable for Saturday's playoff game against the Cardinals, ESPN's Rob Demovsky reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shields has been a limited participant throughout practice this week, although there still hasn't been a report that he's cleared the league's concussion protocol. If he's unable to do so prior to Saturday night's kickoff, the Packers will be forced into a fifth straight game without their top cornerback. In that situation, promising rookie Damarious Randall would figure to receive another start.

Shields (concussion) was limited in practice Wednesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

In the portion of Wednesday's drills open to the media, Shields handled most of the reps during a jog-through, according to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, yet the cornerback remains in the concussion protocol. With kickoff arriving on Saturday evening at 8:15 PM ET, time is running out to receive clearance from an independent neurologist. However, the aforementioned activity level provides a glimmer of hope that Shields is approaching his first game action since Week 14 against the Cowboys.

Shields (concussion) is ruled out for Sunday's playoff game against Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Shields was doubtful going into Saturday, so his status change confirmed an outcome that was expected all along. Shields' absence is good news for Kirk Cousins and the Washington wideouts.

Shields (concussion) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's playoff game versus the Redskins.

EDGE Analysis

Shields still hasn't cleared the league's concussion protocol, so he's likely to miss a fourth straight game. As a result, rookie Damarious Randall should see another start in Shields' absence.
