Bullard (head) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Bullard sustained a head injury during the Packers' Week 6 win over the Bengals, but he was not placed in the league's concussion protocol and is on track to play against the Cardinals on Sunday.

Bullard did not suffer a concussion in Sunday's win over the Bengals, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Bullard passed the concussion check Sunday and said it felt more like a stinger. It's still unclear if he will be able to play in next Sunday's Week 7 game against the Cardinals. Bullard has posted 27 tackles (19 solo) on 71 percent of the Packers' defensive snaps through five appearances.

Bullard (head) is being evaluated for a potential concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Packers.

Bullard sustained a concussion in Week 3 against the Browns, so he'll be closely looked at by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. Nate Hobbs and Bo Melton are candidates to see more snaps in the secondary for as long as Bullard is out of the game.

Bullard (concussion) is active for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Bullard was able to log a pair of limited practices Thursday and Friday after suffering a concussion in the team's 13-10 loss to the Browns in Week 3. It's unclear if the 23-year-old has cleared concussion protocol, and if Bullard can't go in Dallas, Nate Hobbs would stand to see an increase in workload at slot cornerback in his place.

Bullard (concussion) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Bullard entered the league's concussion protocol following his diagnosis after Sunday's game against the Browns. He didn't practice Wednesday, but his ability to return to practice Thursday -- albeit in a limited capacity -- indicates that he is progressing through the five-step concussion protocol. Friday's practice report will indicate Bullard's chances of playing against the Cowboys on Sunday. If he's not cleared to play, Nate Hobbs would be in line for more snaps at slot corner.

Bullard (concussion) did not participate at practice Wednesday.

Bullard suffered a concussion in the team's 13-10 loss to the Browns in Week 3, and he has now unsurprisingly opened the week as a non-participant at practice. The safety will have two more opportunities to return to practice and clear concussion protocol ahead of Sunday night's matchup with the Cowboys. If Bullard can't play in Week 4, Nate Hobbs would stand to see an increase in workload at slot cornerback against Dallas.

Head coach Matt LaFleur said Monday that Bullard is in the concussion protocol following the Packers' 13-10 loss to the Browns on Sunday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

It's unclear when Bullard suffered the injury, but he will have to pass through the league's five-step concussion protocol before returning to action, which puts him in jeopardy of missing the Packers' Week 4 clash against the Cowboys on Sunday, Sept. 28. Bullard's absence would open the door for Nate Hobbs to see additional work out of the slot corner if Bullard is not cleared to play.

Bullard logged five solo tackles during the Packers' 27-18 win over the Commanders on Thursday.

Although Bullard wasn't listed as a starter for Week 2, he still saw the field for 58 defensive snaps and finished second on the Packers in solo tackles behind Edgerrin Cooper (seven). Even with Xavier McKinney and Evan Williams serving as the starting safeties, Bullard should continue to hold a meaningful role in the Packers' defense, especially when the team rolls out an additional defensive back.

Bullard tallied nine tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 27-13 victory over the Lions.

Bullard started at safety alongside Xavier McKinney and finished second in tackles among Packers defenders in Week 1. When Green Bay puts extra defensive backs on the field Bullard will generally be used in the slot while Evan Williams works at safety, but playing closer to the ball could allow the former more opportunities to rack up stops.

Bullard finished the 2024 season with 90 tackles (61 solo), one pass breakup and one fumble recovery across 15 regular-season games for Green Bay.

Selected No. 58 overall out of Georgia in the 2024 NFL Draft, Bullard was an immediate starter for the Packers, as he logged 100 percent of the defensive snaps in Week 1 against Philadelphia. Bullard didn't impact the box score much with just the one pass breakup and zero interceptions as a defensive back, but he was able to hold his own as a rookie under first-year defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley. Bullard saw the vast majority of his playing time at slot cornerback and free safety for the Packers.

Bullard (ankle) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Eagles, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Bullard was sidelined for two weeks late in the season due to an ankle injury, but he played through the issue in Green Bay's last two regular-season games, recording 16 total tackles across 120 defensive snaps. His availability for the wild-card round was in question after logging a week of limited practice sessions; however, it now appears he'll continue to play through the injury. Expect the 2024 second-round pick from Georgia to serve as Green Bay's top slot defender Sunday.

Bullard (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Bullard was sidelined for Week 15 and 16 due to an ankle injury, but he managed to play through the issue in the Packers' final two games of the regular season. The rookie second-round pick should be able to suit up against Philadelphia in Sunday's wild-card round game unless he suffers a setback during practice this week. Bullard finished his first NFL regular season with 90 tackles (61 solo), one pass defense and one fumble recovery across 15 games.

Bullard (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Bears.

Bullard was limited in practice all week but has been cleared to play against Chicago. A slot corner and safety for the Packers, Bullard enters Week 18 with 85 tackles (59 solo) and one pass breakup across 14 appearances this season.

Bullard (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Bullard co-led the Packers in tackling during their Week 17 loss to the Vikings, but he appears to have picked up an ankle injury in the process.

Bullard recorded 11 total tackles (nine solo) in Sunday's 27-25 loss to the Vikings.

Bullard returned from injury and tied Edgerrin Cooper as the Packers' leading tackler in Sunday's narrow loss, tying his career best of 11 tackles in a single game. The rookie safety from Georgia has been an integral part of Green Bay's defense this season, recording 85 total tackles and one pass defended over 14 appearances. With Evan Williams (quadriceps) likely out of the Packers' Week 18 matchup against the Bears, Bullard is expected to start alongside Xavier McKinney as part of Green Bay's top safety duo.

Bullard (ankle) is active for Sunday's matchup against Minnesota, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Bullard (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Vikings, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Bullard was sidelined for the Packers' last two games due to an ankle injury, but he returned to practice in a limited fashion throughout the week, giving himself a chance to suit up Sunday. The rookie from Georgia would be a significant addition to the Packers' defense, having recorded 74 total tackles and one pass defended over 13 appearances this season. If Bullard can play in Week 17, he'll likely serve as Green Bay's starting strong safety with Evan Williams (quadriceps) already ruled out.

Bullard (ankle) was listed as a limited participant in Green Bay's practice estimate Wednesday.

Bullard has missed two straight games but is now trending towards making his return. If he ends up being able to suit up for Sunday's matchup versus the Vikings, he return to his role as the team's starting slot corner.

Bullard (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game versus the Saints.

Bullard missed last Sunday's win over the Seahawks with an ankle injury, which also kept him sidelined during practice Thursday, Friday and Saturday this week. The rookie safety will now turn his attention toward getting healthy for the matchup versus Minnesota on Sunday, Dec. 29. With Bullard out and fellow rookie Evan Williams (quad) listed as questionable, it's possible that core special-teamer Zayne Anderson will have to step into a starting role opposite free safety Xavier McKinney.

Bullard (ankle) didn't practice Friday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Bullard has not returned to practice since sustaining an ankle injury in the Packers' Week 14 loss to the Lions. He likely needs to practice in a limited capacity Saturday to have a chance at suiting up Monday night, when the Packers host the Saints. If Bullard misses his second consecutive game in Week 16, expect Keisean Nixon to move to slot corner, with Carrington Valentine starting as one of Green Bay's outside corners.

Bullard (ankle) is not participating in Thursday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Bullard's ankle injury prevented him from suiting up Sunday versus the Seahawks, and his status still appears up-in-the-air heading into Monday's matchup against the Saints. The rookie second-round pick will likely need to resume practicing in at least a limited fashion Friday or Saturday to have a chance at suiting up Week 16.

Bullard (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday night's matchup against the Seahawks, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Bullard sustained a ankle injury in the Packers' Week 14 loss to the Lions and didn't practice all week, so it's no surprise he'll be sidelined Sunday. With Bullard missing the Week 15 contest, Green Bay will likely play Keisean Nixon, Eric Stokes and Carrington Valentine as their top three cornerbacks.

Bullard (ankle) did not practice Wednesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Bullard hurt his ankle Week 14 against the Lions and was deemed week-to-week by Packers coach Matt LaFleur, so it's no surprise that the rookie didn't practice Wednesday. While it's not yet certain that he won't be able to suit up Sunday in Seattle, things appear to be trending that way. Bullard has been an every-week starter for the Packers during his first NFL campaign and hasn't yet missed a game.

Head coach Matt LaFleur stated Monday that Bullard (ankle) is week-to-week, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

Bullard suffered the injury in Thursday's loss to the Lions and left the locker room that night with a boot and crutches. His week-to-week status suggests he's likely a longshot to recover in time to suit up Sunday against the Seahawks, but a firmer stance on his status will likely come later in the week when Green Bay releases its first injury report.

Bullard (ankle) left the locker room with his right foot in a boot and on crutches following Thursday's 34-31 loss to the Lions, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Bullard left Thursday's in the second half, further depleting the Green Bay secondary. Positively, he'll have 10 days to recover before the Packers square off with the Seahawks in Week 15, though the initial observations following the injury don't appear positive.

Bullard is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Lions due to an ankle injury.

The Packers are very shorthanded in the secondary, as both Jaire Alexander (knee) and Corey Ballentine (knee) were inactive for the contest. Evan Williams (concussion) was lost earlier in the game, and Bullard was carted to the locker room for evaluation. The exact nature or seriousness of Bullard's issue is still unclear.

Bullard recorded seven total tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 38-10 win over the 49ers.

The rookie defensive back from Georgia tied Quay Walker as the Packers' leading tackler in Sunday's blowout win, playing 98 percent of the team's defensive snaps. Bullard, who's transitioned from playing safety to playing in the slot, has now posted 66 total tackles and one pass defended across his first 11 games in the NFL. He's expected to continue serving as one of Green Bay's top tacklers in Week 13, when the Packers host the Dolphins on Thursday night.

Bullard recorded eight total tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 20-19 win over the Bears.

Despite logging his second-lowest defensive snap share (72 percent) of the season Sunday, Bullard finished as one of Green Bay's top tacklers, trailing Xavier McKinney and Carrington Valentine, who each posted nine stops. The 2024 second-round pick from Georgia is off to a strong start through the first 10 games of his rookie campaign, having recorded 59 total tackles and one pass defended while primarily playing in the slot. He's expected to continue improving as he adapts to his new position throughout the season.

Bullard logged eight tackles (seven solo) during Sunday's 34-13 win over the Cardinals.

Bullard has registered eight tackles in two consecutive games, and he has played at least 50 defensive snaps in each of the Packers' last three contests. The 2024 second-round pick is up to 36 combined tackles through the first six games of the regular season, which is third-most on the Packers and fourth-most among rookies.

Bullard made 11 tackles (seven solo) in Friday's 34-29 loss to the Eagles.

The rookie started in his professional debut and wound up tied for the team lead in tackles. Bullard did not leave the field for any of the 76 plays run by the opposition, so expect him to remain busy moving forward.

Bullard has opened recent practices at training camp with the first-team defense, Peter Bukowski of The Leap reports.

Coach Matt LaFleur said recently that the Packers would deploy a rotation at safety next to locked-in starter Xavier McKinney, but that hasn't prevented Bullard from retaining a strong grip on first-team reps. LaFleur's comments about a safety rotation could have less to do with Bullard's ability to contribute as an immediate starter, and more to do with his versatility to switch between safety and man-coverage, or even potentially take reps in the slot. To kick off training camp Bullard was considered in the 'pole position' to earn a starting safety role alongside McKinney, per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic, and his recent performance at practice seems to further support that notion.
