Bryan Bulaga upgraded to probable

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Right tackle Bryan Bulaga was upgraded to probable on Saturday shortly before the Green Bay Packers left for Sunday's game at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Bulaga, who suffered a concussion in last Sunday's loss at the Buffalo Bills, was originally listed as questionable on Friday's injury report.

That likely means Bulaga has cleared the final stage of the concussion protocol and will be available to start against the Bucs.

Bulaga said Friday he was close to being cleared.

"I think we're on a good track right now, so we'll see what comes about tomorrow and go from there," Bulaga said Friday. "I think I still need to go through a few more steps in testing and seeing the independent neurologist check what we have to do. I think I have a couple more steps."
