Packers' Josiah Deguara: Efficient on four targets in loss
Deguara secured all four targets for 34 yards in the Packers' 34-20 loss to the Lions on Thursday night.
Deguara finished second in receptions for the Packers on the night and tied for third in targets. The fourth-year tight end's season-best line was largely the byproduct of position mate Luke Musgrave leaving the game for good in the second quarter to be evaluated for a concussion. Despite Thursday's modest spike in production, Deguara figures to return to a complementary role behind Musgrave if the latter is cleared to return against the Raiders for a Week 5 matchup on Monday night, Oct. 9.

Packers' Jayden Reed: Game-long catch in loss
Reed brought in three of five targets for 55 yards in the Packers' 34-20 loss to the Lions on Thursday night. He also committed a fumble that was recovered by Green Bay and returned one punt for no gain.
The highlight of the speedy rookie's night was a game-long 44-yard grab, which accounted for the majority of the wideout's production. Reed still saw a solid target total in what was Christian Watson's season debut -- in fact, he outpaced the latter by one in that category -- an encouraging development with respect to his potential involvement moving forward. Reed has already developed plenty of chemistry with Jordan Love, and he'll have a chance to continue building that rapport ahead of a Week 5 road matchup versus the Raiders on Monday night, Oct. 9.

Packers' AJ Dillon: Modest workload in Week 4 loss
Dillon rushed five times for 11 yards and failed to bring in his only target in the Packers' 34-20 loss to the Lions on Thursday night.
Dillon's backfield mate Aaron Jones returned from a two-game absence due to a hamstring injury, but the two players actually logged the same amount of carries. The real culprit in the sparse overall usage for Green Bay's ground attack was the big first-half deficit the Packers found themselves in, and the fact they were never able to whittle a 24-point halftime deficit to less than 10 at any time in the second half. Dillon will likely return to his normal complementary role alongside a presumably healthy Jones during a Week 5 road matchup against the Raiders on Monday night, Oct. 9.

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Paces pass catchers in Week 4 loss
Doubs brought in nine of 13 targets for 95 yards in the Packers' 34-20 loss to the Lions on Thursday night.
Doubs comfortably led the Packers in receptions, receiving yards and targets despite the season debut of Christian Watson after the latter's recovery from a hamstring injury that led to three straight absences to open the season. Doubs was also the intended receiver on Love's second interception of the night, one that came at the Lions' four-yard line and essentially sealed the win for Detroit. The 2022 fourth-round pick now has a 20-224-3 line heading into a favorable Week 5 road matchup against the Raiders on Monday night, Oct. 9.

Packers' Christian Watson: Relatively quiet in debut
Watson (hamstring) brought in two of four targets for 25 yards and a touchdown in the Packers' 34-20 loss to the Lions on Thursday night.
Watson's season debut would have been a total dud had it not been for a one-yard touchdown grab just before the midway point of the third quarter. The speedy second-year wideout was way behind fellow starter Romeo Doubs, who turned 13 targets into a 9-95 line. The 24-year-old was also the intended receiver on Jordan Love's first interception of the night, which came at the Packers' 27-yard line early in the second quarter and led to the Lions' first touchdown. Watson will now have plenty of extra opportunity to continue shaking off rust and build chemistry with Love, as the Packers don't return to action until a Week 5 Monday night road matchup versus the Raiders on Oct. 9.

Packers' Aaron Jones: Six total touches in return
Jones (hamstring) rushed five times for 18 yards and secured one of two targets for minus-4 yards in the Packers' 34-20 loss to the Lions on Thursday night.
Making his first appearance since Week 1 due to a hamstring strain, Jones didn't have to worry about testing his previously ailing leg too stringently. A game script that saw Green Bay already down 14-3 after one quarter and 27-3 at the half essentially nullified the viability of the Packers' ground attack, leaving Jones tied with AJ Dillon for the team lead in rush attempts. Jones will now have plenty of extra time to get back to full health if he isn't already, as the Packers don't retake the field until Monday night, Oct. 9 against the Raiders.

Packers' Jordan Love: Mixed bag in Week 4 loss
Love completed 23 of 36 passes for 246 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions and added two rushes for minus-2 yards and another score in the Packers' 34-20 loss to the Lions on Thursday night. He also committed a fumble that was recovered by Green Bay and threw a two-point conversion pass.
Love endured a rough night overall despite the solid passing yardage total, as he took five sacks in addition to throwing multiple interceptions for the second time in his career, with the first occasion also having come against Detroit back in Week 18 of the 2021 campaign. Love's first pick early in the second quarter came at Green Bay's 27-yard line and led to a David Montgomery two-yard touchdown two plays later, while the second unfolded at Detroit's four-yard line with 4:15 remaining and the Packers down by 17. Love had the benefit of Christian Watson as a pass-catching option for the first time this season, but Romeo Doubs remained his favorite target by far with a team-high 13 targets. Love and his receiving corps will now have plenty of extra time to continue building chemistry ahead of a Week 5 road battle versus the Raiders on Monday night, Oct. 9.

Packers' Luke Musgrave: Ruled out against Lions
Musgrave (head) has been ruled out for the rest of Thursday's game against the Lions, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Musgrave originally exited the game in the second quarter to be evaluated for a head injury and did not record a catch prior to his exit. Positively, he'll have plenty of time to clear the league's concussion protocol, as the Packers don't play again until Oct. 9. Tucker Kraft and Josiah Deguara have each seen an uptick in playing time with Musgrave sidelined.

Packers' Luke Musgrave: Being evaluated for concussion
Musgrave left Thursday's game against the Lions to be evaluated for a concussion, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Musgrave exited in the second quarter and was initially evaluated in the medical tent before heading to the locker room. He failed to make a catch prior to his exit. Josiah Deguara should see an uptick in playing time so long as Musgrave is absent.

Packers' David Bakhtiari: Undergoing additional knee surgeries
Bakhtiari underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee Wednesday, while another procedure is on the docket in the next few weeks that will give him a chance to play at 100 percent next season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
The Packers haven't officially ruled out Bakhtiari for the current campaign, as they merely placed him on injured reserve Thursday. Under normal circumstances, he would have a chance to return after missing four games, but Rapoport's report indicates Green Bay's starting left tackle won't be able to do so, either Week 9 against the Rams or for the rest of the season. As long as Bakhtiari is sidelined, Rasheed Walker will nail down left tackle for the team.

Packers' Zach Tom: Playing Thursday
Tom (knee) is active for Thursday night's game against the Lions.
The offensive tackle left Green Bay's Week 3 win over New Orleans with a knee injury. The 2022 fourth-round pick has started all three games this year at right tackle.

Packers' Carrington Valentine: Playing Thursday
Valentine (biceps) is active for Thursday night's game against the Lions.
The rookie seventh-round pick should again get the start in place of the injured Jaire Alexander (back). Valentine started in Alexander's right cornerback spot in Week 3 against the Saints but left the game with a biceps injury.

Packers' Jaire Alexander: Not playing Thursday
Alexander (back) is out for Thursday night's game against the Lions.
The cornerback missed the Packers' Week 3 win over the Saints with the same injury and then was a limited participant in practice Tuesday and Wednesday. The two-time All-Pro started Green Bay's first two games and recorded eight tackles and two passes defended.

Packers' AJ Dillon: Jones returns Thursday
Dillon will be joined by Aaron Jones (hamstring) in the Packers backfield Thursday versus the Lions.
Dillon has operated as Green Bay's No. 1 running back the last two games, but he hasn't been very productive, compiling 26 carries for 88 yards (3.4 YPC) and an eight-yard catch. Even if Jones can't handle his typical workload, his mere presence may hinder Dillon's potential to produce. In the one contest that Jones was available this season, though, Dillon earned two rushes inside the five-yard line Week 1 in Chicago, so any short-yardage reps could yield fantasy utlity Thursday.

Packers' Christian Watson: Making season debut Thursday
Watson (hamstring) is active for Thursday's game against the Lions.
The Packers held Watson out of the first three games of the season due to a lingering hamstring injury, but after being listed as limited twice in back-to-back weeks, the second-year pro is set to make his season debut. Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reported earlier Thursday that Green Bay is expected to be cautious with Watson, which may mean he earns a workload similar to the one Romeo Doubs handled Week 1 (48 percent) coming off his own hamstring issue. If Watson is capped around 50 percent of the offensive snaps Thursday, he could be tough to trust for fantasy purposes.

Packers' Aaron Jones: Returning to action Thursday
Jones (hamstring) is listed as active Thursday against the Lions.
After being listed as limited on five straight Packers injury reports, Jones has been cleared to make his first appearance since his 35-yard catch-and-run for a touchdown Week 1 at Chicago. There's a chance Green Bay eases Jones into action considering he has yet to log a full practice since pulling his left hamstring on the aforementioned play. Still, Jones will join AJ Dillon as the team's top backfield options Thursday. On the campaign, Jones has 11 touches for 127 yards from scrimmage and two TDs in about two and a half quarters of work.
