Packers News: Interview with Bears expert, top matchups to watch
A roundup of the latest Green Bay Packers articles for Saturday, September 8.
Good morning and welcome to the Packers News Report. We have arrived at the weekend of Green Bay Packers regular season football. It feels a lot like Christmas Eve.
We’ve been counting down the days until the season opener against the Chicago Bears just about every day in the Packers News Report. It now reaches one.
The best news this week is that Green Bay enters the season about as healthy as possible. The only player officially ruled out due to injury is second-year safety Josh Jones. The team could also be without rookie linebacker Oren Burks and linebacker James Crawford, who are both listed as questionable on the injury report.
Here’s a roundup of the latest articles from around the internet.
