Damarious Randall Injury: Updates on Packers CB's Groin and Return

Green Bay Packers cornerback Damarious Randall was dealing with a groin injury that put his status for a Week 13 game against the Houston Texans up in the air. However, the Packers announced Randall was available to play Sunday.

According to the Packers' official injury report, Randall was questionable after he put in limited practices all week. 

He's already missed time this season with a groin injury that forced him to sit out in Week 5 and knocked him out in the second quarter of the Packers' Week 6 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. 

The Packers are having all sorts of issues so far this season. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers hasn't looked like himself, wide receiver Jordy Nelson is struggling to return to form after tearing his ACL last season, and the defense has ranked near the back of the pack in points allowed. 

Randall moved into the starting lineup this year after showing promise in his rookie season last year. He recorded his first interception of the season in the Packers' Week 3 win over Detroit. But that came one week after he was the primary corner against Stefon Diggs when he racked up 182 yards on nine catches. 

If Randall is limited moving forward, Green Bay's pass rush will have to pick up the slack to help the short-handed secondary from falling apart and dropping the team out of playoff contention much sooner than expected.
