The Green Bay Packers returned to practice Sunday to prepare for a big NFC North game Thursday at the Detroit Lions.

Hill will have a chance to go against a Green Bay Packers secondary without top cornerback Jaire Alexander. For the second straight game, Alexander is inactive with a knee injury. He's joined on the inactive list by rookie linebacker Edgerrin Cooper (hamstring) and receiver Romeo Doubs (concussion).

Without Cooper on Sunday, the Packers will rely on starter Quay Walker and veterans Isaiah McDuffie and Eric Wilson at linebacker. McDuffie has started all 10 games this season, while Wilson — who leads the team with seven tackles for loss — has made game-changing plays in wins over the Colts and Texans earlier this season.

Center Josh Myers, linebacker Isaiah McDuffie and tight end John FitzPatrick are listed as questionable for Packers vs. Dolphins.

Alexander has missed the last two games — both wins — while recovering from an aggravation of a knee ligament injury first suffered in Week 8. Doubs suffered a concussion during the Packers’ win over the San Francisco 49ers and missed last week’s win over the Miami Dolphins while in the league’s concussion protocol.

GREEN BAY – The Packers have ruled out cornerback Jaire Alexander (knee) and linebacker Edgerrin Cooper (hamstring) and listed defensive lineman Colby Wooden (shoulder) questionable for Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers.
