A roundup of the latest Green Bay Packers articles for Thursday, Dec. 19.

Welcome to the Packers News Report.

The Green Bay Packers are preparing for their biggest game of the season. It’s been an exciting year so far with 11 victories on the board, but Matt LaFleur’s team now has a chance to achieve its goal of winning the NFC North. A win on Monday night will accomplish that, but it won’t be easy. Not at all.

Due to a longer week than usual, the first injury report will be released today. The Packers should be close to 100 percent, but we’ll get our first idea of Dalvin Cook’s status for Monday’s game.

In today’s Packers News Report: a look at which players should’ve made the Pro Bowl, why Allen Lazard and Jake Kumerow should get more targets, three players deserving of contract extensions, and more.
