Green Bay Packers right tackle Zach Tom is inactive for Saturday night's NFC wild-card game against the Chicago Bears due to his knee injury.

Tom was injured against the Denver Broncos on Dec. 14 and missed the final three regular-season games.

Tom, 26, started all 12 games he played this season and has played in 55 games (51 starts) in four NFL seasons.

Bears cornerback Kyler Gordon (groin) is active for the contest after missing the past five games due to a groin injury.

Gordon, 26, also missed time with a hamstring injury this season and has played in just three games.

Gordon has five interceptions in 45 games (35 starts) over four seasons for Chicago.

The Bears listed receiver Jahdae Walker, offensive lineman Luke Newman, defensive lineman Joe Tryon-Shoyinka, cornerback C.J. Gardner-Johnson and linebackers Amen Ogbongbemiga and Ruben Hyppolite II on their inactive list.

Green Bay's other inactives are receivers Dontayvion Wicks and Jakobie Keeney-James, defensive lineman Collin Oliver and cornerback Jaylin Simpson.

Desmond Ridder is the Packers' emergency quarterback. Case Keenum serves in that role for the Bears.
