The Packers placed Anderson (ankle) on injured reserve Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson hurt his ankle in Saturday's loss to Baltimore, and the injury is severe enough to result in placement on IR. The veteran safety worked primarily on special teams when healthy, with 20 of his 22 defensive snaps coming Week 15 against Denver. He'll finish the regular season with 15 tackles (five solo) over 14 games.

Head coach Matt LaFleur told reporters Wednesday that Anderson (ankle) is likely out for the remainder of the season, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The BYU product sustained an ankle injury in the Week 17 loss to the Ravens and is now expected to miss the remainder of the Packers' 2025 campaign. Across 14 contests this season, Anderson tallied 15 total tackles and one fumble recovery while primarily contributing on special teams (206 special-teams snaps and 22 on defense). While he's sidelined, expect Kitan Oladapo and Jaylin Simpson to serve as the Packers' top reserve safeties.

Anderson (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Saturday night's game against the Ravens.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson's ankle injury seems to be too much to play on, and the defensive back's injury status has been quickly confirmed. Another depth defensive back will have to take over Anderson's role on special teams, such as Kamal Hadden or Kitan Oladapo.

Anderson (ankle) is questionable to return to Saturday night's game against the Ravens.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson exited the game in the first quarter with an ankle injury. The safety logged a solo tackle before his exit, and someone will need to fill the defensive back's role on special teams while he is absent from the contest.

Anderson (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was limited in practice this past week due to a knee injury, and it is severe enough for him to miss Sunday's regular-season opener. Kitan Oladapo is slated to serve as the Packers' reserve safety Week 1 in Anderson's absence. Anderson's next chance to suit up is Thursday against Washington.

Anderson (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Lions, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was limited throughout the week in practice due to a knee injury sustained in early August. The BYU product was a key contributor on special teams in 2024, tallying 16 total tackles over 371 total snaps (118 defensive and 253 on special teams). If he's unable to play in Week 1, Kitan Oladapo will likely play as Green Bay's lone reserve safety.
