As the Green Bay Packers returned to practice on Wednesday, they were without a quartet of players, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com:

It wasn't so much a surprise that neither Lang (ankle) nor Sitton (toe) was practicing as the Packers began on-field preparations for Philadelphia Eagles this week. Both players missed practice time last week and were listed as "questionable" for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears.

Because both offensive linemen are dealing with torn ligaments in their respective injuries, it wouldn't be surprising if they continue to sit out the occasional practice for the next several weeks.

Bostick and Elliott, however, are surprise non-participants.

The organization did not disclose injuries to either player in the aftermath of the Bears game, although it's not uncommon for injuries to be detected until adrenaline wears off and the body rests.

Bostick is coming off a game in which he scored his first touchdown of the season, catching one of Aaron Rodgers' six touchdown passes in the first half against the Bears.

Elliott meanwhile, saw just playing time on defense for just the second time this season.

The Packers will release an injury report later Wednesday afternoon, followed by comments from head coach Mike McCarthy in his scheduled press conference.

UPDATE: Bostick and Elliott were respectively listed with a hip and hamstring on the Packers injury report.
