A roundup of the latest Green Bay Packers articles for Tuesday, Feb. 11.

Welcome to the Packers News Report.

Anyone miss Green Bay Packers football yet? Well, let the countdown officially begin. While we don’t know yet when the first game will be and who against, we can assume it won’t be in the Thursday night season-opener again as that will likely be hosted by the Kansas City Chiefs, who aren’t on the 2020 schedule.

So it will either be a Sunday game, which is 215 days away, or the Monday game in 216 days time. The countdown is underway!
