Packers list cornerback Keisean Nixon as questionable ahead of Panthers game

The Green Bay Packers placed starting cornerback Keisean Nixon on the injury report with a shoulder issue just hours before Thursday Night Football against the Carolina Panthers. Nixon is ruled 'questionable' to play, marking a potential absence in his first game in over four years with the team. If Nixon is unable to play, Carrington Valentine is expected to step in, though veteran Benjamin St-Juste is also available. The team did not elevate additional cornerbacks from the practice squad, suggesting confidence in Nixon's potential availability. The final status for Nixon will be announced approximately 90 minutes before kickoff.
