Both the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings need a win today to avoid being the seventh seed in the NFC playoff race. After the Vikings’ big loss on Monday Night Football, they brought back an old friend — quarterback Kirk Cousins — to try to keep their title hopes alive. Meanwhile, the Packers are coming off maybe their best game of the season, blowing out the reigning AFC champion New England Patriots last week.
In case you missed it, Green Bay’s roster has been very fluid lately, so let’s
catch you up on who is in and who is out for Week 10.
Tight end Josh Whyle was placed on injured reserve Saturday, and receiver/returner Coleman Owen was released. These moves were made so that running back Chris Brooks and receiver/returner Skyy Moore could be activated from the injured reserve. Tight end Drake Dabney was also elevated from the practice squad for this game.
Running back Josh Jacobs, who just had surgery on his fractured finger, was not placed on the injured reserve, but he won’t play today. Center Sean Rhyan, guard Kevin Zeitler and linebacker Zaire Franklin will also miss Sunday’s game due to injury. The two healthy scratches against Minnesota were running back Pierre Strong Jr. and offensive lineman Donovan Jennings. The Packers picked Brooks, MarShawn Lloyd and Kaleb Johnson over Strong today.
Stick around to talk about Packers-Vikings while you watch.
