A roundup of the latest Green Bay Packers articles for Friday, February 8.

Good morning and welcome to the Packers News Report.

The Green Bay Packers are the only team in the NFL not to be selected to play an international game, but Aaron Rodgers hopes that changes. Speaking to NFL UK at the NFL Honors event last weekend, Rodgers talked about the possibility of playing a game in London in the future.

The Chicago Bears will be playing their second game in London next season, which means all of Green Bay’s NFC North rivals will have made two trips to the UK for a regular season game. A Packers game in London will eventually happen, but it won’t be in the 2019 season.

In the Packers News Report today: why tight end T.J. Hockenson could be a first-round option for Green Bay in the 2019 NFL Draft, three safeties to target in free agency, and more.

Here’s a roundup of the latest articles from around the internet.
