What happened: Green Bay expects Lukas Van Ness available Sunday after he cleared concussion protocol and was removed from the injury report. The update came a day before the Packers face the Jets.

Why it matters: That gives Green Bay one less availability question heading into a road game against a Jets team with an early-season chance to reach 2-0. Clearing protocol this late in the week also moves Van Ness from a game-day decision into the pool of expected options for the defensive front.

What to watch: Green Bay will make Van Ness' status official when it releases its inactive list before kickoff Sunday. The next question is how quickly he slots back into the Packers' edge rotation against New York.
