Keep up with the latest injuries from the Jets vs Ravens game on Sunday with our National Football League injury report.Mar 12, 2025
Gets one-year deal with Gang Green
The Jets signed Myers to a one-year, $3.5 million contract Wednesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Myers has started at center in all 50 regular-season games he's played in over the past three season in Green Bay. Joe Tippmann served as the Jets' starting center in 2024, so it's unclear whether Myers is being brought in to provide depth at the position or if there will be any reshuffling on the offensive line for the 2025 campaign.

Avoids fracture in leg
Myers (leg) is dealing with swelling but is said to be all good following Sunday's wild-card loss to the Eagles, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Myers indicated after the loss that he believed he suffered a hairline leg fracture when he was injured late in the fourth quarter. It's certainly a positive development for Myers, who is slated to become a free agent in March. A second-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, Myers has missed just one game over the last three seasons, starting all 50 others in which he appeared. He'll be in line for a sizable raise on a multi-year contract.

ANALYSIS
Myers was carted off the field after suffering the injury, which initially looked much more severe, although a fracture has yet to be confirmed. The Ohio State product also told Demovsky that he played the second half of the season with a torn pectoral minor muscle. With the Packers' season now over, Myers will focus on getting healthy and is also set to enter free agency for the first time in his career.

The center said after the game that he believes he avoided an ACL or an ankle injury, but there is concern that he may have suffered a lower leg fracture. More information on the status of Myers will likely come in the near future.

Ready to rock
Myers (wrist) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bears, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Myers missed the Packers' Week 9 loss to the Lions due to a wrist injury, but it now appears the team's Week 10 bye provided enough time for him to move past the issue. Now that the Ohio State product has returned to full health, he's expected to serve as Green Bay's starting center in Sunday's divisional matchup.

Out Sunday
Myers (wrist) will not play in Sunday's game versus the Lions, Mike Spofford of the team's official website reports.
ANALYSIS
Myers fought through a wrist injury in last week's win over the Jaguars, but he will be unable to do so versus the Lions. In his absence, Elgton Jenkins could potentially shift to center or Jacob Monk would also be a candidate to fill in at center.

Good to go vs. Jacksonville
Myers (wrist) is active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Myers was held out of Wednesday's practice due to a wrist injury, but the 2021 second-round pick will play Sunday after finishing the week with consecutive limited practices. He'll be the Packers' starting center Sunday while Jacob Monk serves as the backup.
Oct 25, 2024
Questionable for Week 8
Myers (wrist) was a limited participant during Friday's practice and is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against Jacksonville, Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Myers was a DNP on Wednesday due to a wrist injury, but he was able to log consecutive limited practices to end the week. Jacob Monk is listed as the backup center on the Packers' depth chart and would figure to take on the starting role if Myers is unable to play Sunday.
Oct 7, 2022
In line to play Sunday
Myers (foot) is expected to play in Sunday's game against the Giants, Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS

Absent from injury report
Myers left Sunday's win over the Buccaneers early with camps, but he does not appear on Wednesday's injury report, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Myers' exit occurred late in the fourth quarter, but it appears he's fully recovered. With David Bakhtiari's (knee) and Elgton Jenkins' (knee) statuses for Sunday against the Patriots a bit up in the air, Myers' absence from the injury report is good news for the Packers offensive line.
Sep 25, 2022
Suffers from cramps
Myers is questionable to return Sunday against Tampa Bay after suffering from cramps, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.
ANALYSIS
Myers suffered the issue in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game, so he may not have time to return to action. However, he should be in line to return in Week 4 against New England.
Jan 8, 2022
Activated from injured reserve
Myers (knee) was activated off injured reserve Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Myers returned to practice this week after missing time due to a knee procedure that he underwent in late October. He served as Green Bay's starting center to begin the year and will likely reclaim the job in Week 18, while Lucas Patrick could take on a reserve role.
Jan 6, 2022
Designated for return
The Packers have designated Myers (knee) for return from IR, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.
ANALYSIS
Myers underwent surgery after being placed on IR due to a knee issue late October, but it appears that he could return for Green Bay down the stretch. Given that the Packers have already clinched the No. 1 seed in the NFC, the team may be targeting a playoff return for Myers, rather than attempting to rush him back in time for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Lions.
Nov 4, 2021
Could return this season
Myers recently underwent knee surgery but may be able to retake the field this season, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Myers was placed on injured reserve with the knee issue Oct. 23, and he went under the knife after being further evaluated. The rookie second-round pick figures to be sidelined into December but could make a return to the active roster later in the campaign. Lucas Patrick should continue to fill in as Green Bay's starter center in the meantime.
Oct 23, 2021
Moves to injured reserve
The Packers placed Myers (knee) on injured reserve Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Myers left the Packers' Week 6 win over the Bears early with a knee injury and was unable to practice at all this week. The 2021 second-round pick had previously been ruled out for Week 7, but he will now miss at least three weeks with his move to IR. Lucas Patrick is expected to operate as Green Bay's center during the rookie's absence, but the Packers also elevated Ben Braden to the active roster for Sunday's matchup with Washington.
Oct 22, 2021
Ruled out for Week 7
Myers (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest with Washington, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official website reports.
ANALYSIS
Myers was unable to practice at all this week after leaving the Packers' Week 6 win over the Bears early with a knee injury. The 2021 second-round pick was expected to be sidelined for a couple weeks, so his status for Week 7 shouldn't come as a surprise. Lucas Patrick will likely continue to operate as Green Bay's center during the rookie's absence.
Oct 18, 2021
Will likely miss time
Myers (knee) is likely to miss at least a couple weeks, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.
ANALYSIS
Myers, a 2021 second-round selection, left early Sunday against the Bears. Myers had locked down the starting job going into the season and had played every offensive snap for the Packers before injuring his knee. Whether or not he heads to IR remains to be seen. In the meantime Lucas Patrick will be snapping the ball to Aaron Rodgers.
Oct 17, 2021
Will not return
Myers (knee) will not return Sunday,
ANALYSIS
Myers missed Week 5 with a finger injury, but now exits early in Week 6 due to a knee injury. The 2021 second round selection will hope to return in Week 7 against Washington. In the meantime, Lucas Patrick will likely fill in for him.
Oct 17, 2021
Questionable to return
Myers (knee) is questionable to return Sunday against the Bears.
ANALYSIS
Losing Myers would be a huge blow for the Packers' offensive line. If he's unable to return to the gridiron, then Lucas Patrick would take over at center.
Oct 13, 2021
Returns in full Wednesday
Myers (finger) was listed as a full participant for the Packers' practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Myers missed the first game of his young NFL career in Week 5, where Lucas Patrick mainly filled in. The center practiced fully Wednesday, which could indicate that he should be good to go for the Packers' Week 6 divisional matchup with the Bears. Expect Patrick to fill in again if Myers can't play Sunday.
Oct 8, 2021
Ruled out for Week 5
Myers (finger) has been ruled of Sunday's game against the Bengals, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
There is no indication when Myers picked up the finger injury, but he will miss his first game of the season in Week 5. Expect Lucas Patrick to fill in for Myers against the Bengals. The center has had a strong start to the season and will look to continue his rookie campaign in Week 6 against the Bears.
