Keisean Nixon practiced on a limited basis Thursday after sitting out Wednesday, giving Green Bay's secondary a lift ahead of Dallas.
Skyy Moore will not get the same break: the receiver is in a boot and on a scooter, and the Packers project him out for two-plus weeks.
Green Bay carries 11 offensive linemen on its 53-man roster right now, well above the typical eight, and expects to scratch three of them on game day.
That depth cushion matters because the injury list keeps growing elsewhere on the roster.
Javon Hargrave is expected to land on injured reserve, a move that would trim the active roster to 51 and open two spots the team needs to fill before Sunday.
Benjamin St-Juste and Jonathan Ford both carry uncertain status, and their availability against Dallas is in doubt.
Green Bay no longer has the freedom to let players miss games without making corresponding roster moves.
To reach the 48-player game-day limit, the Packers are expected to elevate from the practice squad, with receivers Savion Williams, Isaiah Neyor, Quincy Skinner Jr. and Coleman Owen among the options.
The team has two practice-squad elevations available this week, a limited tool against a growing list of absences.
Nixon's return offers one answer at cornerback, but Moore's injury removes a receiving option for at least two games.
Hargrave's expected trip to injured reserve will decide how much flexibility Green Bay actually has left to patch the defensive line.
Sunday's roster sheet against Dallas will show exactly how the Packers filled the gaps left by Hargrave, Moore, Ford and St-Juste.
