Packers' Kevin King: Limited to 10 appearances in 2021
Rotowire
King recorded 29 tackles (21 solo), three pass breakups and one interception across 10 appearances in 2021.
King played out the 2021 campaign on a one-year, $5 million contract, and while he still had a role in Green Bay's defensive backfield, he saw a major reduction in playing time from the season prior following the additions of rookie first-round pick Eric Stokes and free-agent pickup Rasul Douglas. Now headed for free agency, King could be bound for a change of scenery for the first time in his career.

Packers' Kevin King: Tallies double-digit tackles
Rotowire
King made a career-high 10 tackles (seven solo) and deflected two passes in Sunday's victory over the Bears.
King had numerous opportunities to make plays Sunday with the Bears avoiding fellow corner Jaire Alexander, and although King had a mishap or two, he did not allow a reception longer than 23 yards and recorded double-digit tackles for the first time as a pro. King should benefit from the Packers' first-round bye, as although he played in every game in December, he was limited in practice by a couple nagging leg injuries.

Packers' Kevin King: Managing practice reps
Rotowire
King was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice due to an Achilles injury.
King logged a trio of limited practices before suiting up in last week's win against the Bears, so it's too early to panic about his Week 13 availability. The Washington product logged 97 percent of defensive snaps in last week's win, recording four tackles (three solo) and three pass breakups. If King were to suffer a setback, Chandon Sullivan would be in line for the start at cornerback opposite Jaire Alexander.

Rotowire
King (Achilles) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Colts.
King was expected to return to the lineup after sitting out five games with a quadriceps injury, but his status is in question once again because of an Achilles injury. The fourth-year cornerback out of Washington is still traveling with the team, and the final verdict will be revealed with the inactive list about 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. Josh Jackson likely will start at outside cornerback if King can't go.

The 25-year-old sat out Sunday's loss to the Vikings after sitting out practice all week, so the fact he was listed as a limited participant, even though it's only an estimation, is a positive sign.
