GREEN BAY, Wis. \u2013 Green Bay Packers defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt practiced on Wednesday for the first time since suffering a sprained ankle during the fourth quarter of the Week 4 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.<\/p>\n

The injury kept Wyatt out for the last three games.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

After practice, Wyatt said he was \u201cfeeling pretty well.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cI\u2019m happy. I\u2019m blessed. Blessed to be back.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked about his availability for Sunday\u2019s game at the Jacksonville Jaguars, Wyatt replied:<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cI should be able to go Sunday. Yes, sir.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whether Wyatt actually plays is another matter. Frequently, a Packers player who is sidelined for multiple weeks will practice for one week to get him ramped up to play the following week. The \u201cfollowing\u201d week\u2019s game for the Packers is a huge NFC North home game against the Detroit Lions.<\/p>\n

Even while playing in only four games, Wyatt is No. 1 on the team with three sacks, tied with Eric Wilson for No. 1 with six tackles for losses and second to only Rashan Gary with five quarterback hits.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

His hot start to the season, stemming from his fit in Jeff Hafley\u2019s defense, left him frustrated on the sideline.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like I started off good, but I just got to come back, keep that momentum going, really,\u201d Wyatt said.<\/p>\n

Three starters did not practice: left guard Elgton Jenkins (glute), center Josh Myers (wrist) and middle linebacker Quay Walker (concussion). Jenkins typically doesn\u2019t practice on Wednesdays. He and Myers played all 58 snaps last week against Houston.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Among the group of players who were limited was cornerback\/kick returner Keisean Nixon (hamstring).<\/p>\n

The Packers might not need him on kickoff returns this week. Only 15.2 percent of Cam Little\u2019s kickoffs have been returned, the seventh-lowest rate in the league.<\/p>\n

Of note, receiver Dontayvion Wicks, who was questionable last week with a shoulder injury but played against Houston, is not even on the injury report.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The Jaguars opened the 21-day practice windows for linebacker Foye Oluokun (foot) and safety Andrew Wingard (knee).<\/p>\n

Oluokun finished fourth in the NFL with 173 tackles last year after leading the league with 184 in 2022. Wingard has the team\u2019s only interception.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey can practice now with the team and not on the side with the trainer,\u201d Jaguars coach Doug Pederson told reporters in Jacksonville. \u201cSo, we’ll see each day how they do, how they get back out there and do more football movement. If it looks good, great. If not, we go another week and see next week.\u201d<\/p>\n
