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) 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 its 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.
