Packers News Report: Do Packers have advantage over Chiefs?
A roundup of the latest Green Bay Packers articles for Thursday, Oct. 24.
Welcome to the Packers News Report.
While it still seems unlikely that Patrick Mahomes will be available on Sunday, it’s amazing that he was able to return to practice so soon after suffering a dislocated kneecap. Hopefully, he’ll be back at 100 percent soon. And if any player is going to make a quick recovery and put in a big performance so soon after the injury, it’s Mahomes.
Despite that, I still doubt he’ll be out there on Sunday. We’ll find out a lot more later today when the injury report is updated.
Today’s Packers News Report features the tale of the tape for Week 8, a look at the dominance of the offensive line, and more.
