Gary (knee) didn't practice Tuesday at OTAs, but he was active on the sidelines doing rehab work, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Gary had six sacks in the first nine games last year before suffering a season-ending ACL tear against the Lions. The star pass rusher's status for the beginning of the 2023 campaign remains unclear, but it's encouraging to see him active this early in the offseason.

Packers' Rashan Gary: Logs full practice Friday
Rotowire
Gary (concussion) is questionable for Sunday's primetime matchup against Buffalo, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Gary exited Green Bay's Week 7 loss to Washington due to a concussion and was unable to practice Wednesday while in the league's protocols. However, the Packers' star pass rusher logged a limited session during Thursday's padded practice and upgraded to a full participant Friday. While Gary is trending in the right direction, his official status likely won't be known until closer to Sunday's 8:20 PM ET kickoff. If the fourth-year pro is unable to suit up, Kingsley Enagbare and Jonathan Garvin would be candidates for increased snaps across from Preston Smith.

Rotowire

However, the outside linebacker appears to be progressing in a positive direction, as he was able to work through padded drills Thursday, according to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Gary has recorded 28 tackles and six sacks this season, and he'll still have to clear protocols in order to suit up this Sunday night against Buffalo.

Packers' Rashan Gary: Questionable versus Rams
Rotowire
Gary (elbow) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Rob Demovsky of ESPN reports.
Gary missed last week's loss to the Vikings as a result of the hyper-extended elbow he suffered in Week 10 against the Seahawks. If he's able to suit up Sunday, Gary would likely return to a starting role at outside linebacker, providing pressure against a Rams line that has struggled in pass protection the past couple weeks.

Rotowire
Gary plans to brace his hyperextended elbow in an attempt to play Sunday against the Vikings, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Gary will undergo an MRI on Tuesday to help determine the extent of his injury, but it appears as though he could avoid missing additional time after he exited Sunday's win over the Seahawks in the second half.

Packers' Rashan Gary: Cramping up Sunday
Rotowire
Gary is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Denver while dealing with cramps.
Gary left the game late in the second quarter, and it's likely he'll load up on fluids during halftime before attempting to return for the third quarter. As long as he's sidelined, however, Kyler Fackrell would be in line to see an increase in depth reps at linebacker.

Packers' Rashan Gary: Showing versatility
Rotowire
The Packers have been experimenting with Gary as both an edge and interior lineman during OTAs, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Gary was often used to blow up rushing lanes during his time with Michigan in the run-heavy Big Ten, and it appears the Packers are intrigued by the versatility he offers as a run stuffer and pass rusher. His clearest path to playing time as a rookie will most likely come at defensive end alongside Kenny Clark and Mike Daniels, as free-agent pickups Preston Smith and Za'Darius Smith are all but guaranteed to open the season as the starting outside linebackers. Gary could rotate in at a number of different spots throughout his rookie season anyway.
