Packers roundup: Top performers in Week 6, trade possibilities

A roundup of the latest Green Bay Packers articles for Thursday, Oct. 17.

The Green Bay Packers may have won five games in the opening six weeks of the season, but it’s clear there are a couple of concerns on the roster, primarily with the depth at wide receiver. I can’t help but feel the offense is another receiver away from being among the best in the NFL.

So that’s the million dollar question. Will the Packers attempt to make a trade before the deadline? And if so, will they be able to make a deal? The possibility of a trade is a focus in the Packers News Report today, and there’s also plenty of analysis from Monday’s victory over the Lions.

Here we go.
