A roundup of the latest Green Bay Packers articles for Tuesday, Sept. 3.

Welcome to the Packers News Report. Just two days away from the regular season opener at Soldier Field, the injury report at first glance is a little concerning. But when you look closer there’s a little less reason to worry, as 11 of the 18 players on the injury report practiced fully. Bryan Bulaga was listed as a limited participant but was rested.

Based on the first injury report of the week, there should be some confidence the team will almost fully healthy when they arrive at Soldier Field on Thursday night.

In the Packers News Report today: five players to watch against the Chicago Bears, burning questions for the game, eight Packers who could make the Pro Bowl, and more.
