GREEN BAY − The Green Bay Packers (3-2) will have their starting cornerbacks when they face the explosive offense of the Dallas Cowboys (2-3) on Sunday night, Oct. 18.
Brandon Cisse (hip) and Keisean Nixon (groin) both are active for the Week 6 matchup at Lambeau Field.
Cisse appeared on the Packers’ final injury report Oct. 16 and was listed as questionable to play with a hip injury. Nixon missed practice Oct. 14 with a groin injury, but returned for the rest of the week and confirmed to reporters he would play in the game.

The Packers, however, won’t have all of their backups as cornerback Brandon St-Juste (hamstring) is ruled out after dealing with a hamstring injury throughout the season, hurting it again during the Packers’ Week 5 game against the Chicago Bears. Carrington Valentine will be the top reserve.
The Packers also announced Savion Williams (ankle) is off injured reserve on the same day they put Skyy Moore (ankle) on the list, losing him for at least four games.
The team is also getting back Anthony Campell (ankle), who missed three games due to an ankle injury, a player they’ll need as the defensive tackle room is dealing with injuries.
Here’s a complete look at the inactives:
Green Bay Packers inactives
The Packers will be thin at defensive tackle. They already lost veteran Javon Hargrave (Achilles) for the season after suffering a torn Achilles against the Bears, and now the team will be without Jonathan Ford for at least four games after he was placed on injured reserve Oct. 16 with a calf injury.
Warren Brinson (calf) has been on injured reserve since Oct. 3 and will miss at least two more games.
Jordon Riley returned to practice this week for the first time since his Achilles injury in Week 17 of last season, but is not ready to play.
Also inactive against the Cowboys is guard Aaron Banks (knee/toe), who returned to practice this week but is not ready to play. He’s played in only one game this season and it was in the first half of the Week 2 game against the New York Jets.
Offensive linemen Jager Burton and Donovan Jennings are the other inactives.
Dallas Cowboys inactives
The Cowboys inactives are linebacker DeMarvion Overshown, defensive back Cobie Durant, defensive back Alijah Clark, running back Emari Demercado, linebacker James Houston, offensive lineman Drew Shelton and wide receiver Camden Brown.
