Green Bay Packers' safety Darnell Savage is active for the game against the New York Giants, while linebacker De'Vondre Campbell is also active for the game against the Kansas City Chiefs. However, cornerback Jaire Alexander will not play in both games.
The Green Bay Packers listed safety Rudy Ford and linebacker Quay Walker as questionable on the final injury report before their Week 9 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. Ford's calf injury could potentially keep him out of the game, leaving the Packers with limited options at safety. Walker's groin tightness will be evaluated on Sunday. The Packers also provided updates on other players, including RB Aaron Jones, CB Jaire Alexander, LG Elgton Jenkins, LT Yosh Nijman, and TE Luke Musgrave. The Rams ruled out two players and listed five others as questionable, including QB Matthew Stafford.
As the Green Bay Packers' training camp nears its end, Rudy Ford is back working alongside Darnell Savage as the starting safety in the team's secondary. Head Coach Matt LaFleur praised Ford for his physicality and communication skills during camp. Ford, who signed with the Packers last year, aims to contribute on defense and has shown promise with six starts and three interceptions in the previous season. The Packers expect to finalize their safety rotation and set their depth chart for the regular-season opener against the Chicago Bears.
The Green Bay Packers are pleased with the competition for their starting safety position, with only one player in the room having played a significant number of snaps. While Darnell Savage is expected to fill one spot, the other is up for grabs between Rudy Ford, Tarvarius Moore, and newly signed Jonathan Owens. The Packers are looking for a two-way safety who can cover and tackle, and the competition could last until the start of the regular season.

The Packers signed Tarvarius Moore on Thursday and re-signed Ford a day later, providing some stability at the safety position.
Safety Rudy Ford has re-signed with the Green Bay Packers on a one-year deal worth up to $2.5 million, while the details of former San Francisco 49ers safety Tarvarius Moore's contract are unknown.
