A roundup of the latest Green Bay Packers articles for Friday, Oct. 18.

Welcome to the Packers News Report.

The Green Bay Packers have been dealing with injuries all season long, and the injury report is long once again entering Week 7. But with eight players not practicing yesterday, it’s going to be interesting to see who is taken off the injury report later today and will be ready to go on Sunday against the Oakland Raiders. Will any of the top three receivers be available?

My guess is they’ll be without Davante Adams and Geronimo Allison, at least, but Marquez Valdes-Scantling might also be unavailable. Not ideal.

But we’ll see. The final injury report comes out later today.

Let’s get into the Packers News Report for Friday.
