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. The rookie second-round pick would avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's divisional game against the Bears if he were able to practice fully Friday.
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 will return to action after missing the past two weeks due to an ankle injury. His return bolsters a Packers secondary that will be without Evan Williams (quadriceps) for a second straight contest. Bullard has at least four tackles in each of his past 10 games.
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.
