A roundup of the latest Green Bay Packers articles for Sunday, August 12.

Good morning and welcome to the Packers News Report.

We’re one Sunday closer to the return of Green Bay Packers regular season football. Just four more weeks remain until Green Bay kicks off its 100th season against its oldest rival, the Chicago Bears.

It’s been an interesting week. The biggest talking points of course come from the preseason opener on Thursday night. The Packers won the game, but more importantly than that, many of the young players on the roster showed their potential. Wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling was perhaps the biggest winner of the game.

Let’s begin the Packers News Report for one of the few remaining football-less Sundays. Here’s a roundup of the latest articles from around the internet.
