A roundup of the latest Green Bay Packers articles for Saturday, Sept. 14.

Welcome to the Packers News Report. The weekend is here, and it’s almost time for the Green Bay Packers’ first home game of the 2019 season. And what an important one it will be. Two divisional games in as many weeks isn’t an easy start to the year, especially for a new head coach.

It’s also the first of five home games over the next six weeks. The importance of winning most of these games is high, and they’ll need wins on the board when the run of road games begins later in the year.

Should Green Bay make a trade offer for Minkah Fitzpatrick? That’s been a topic among fans over the past day, and we’ve got two different articles with different opinions in the Packers News Report today. Also, three bold predictions for tomorrow’s game, matchups to watch, and more.
