Packers With Three Key Questions on Injured List for Week 1
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers Will Be a Game-Time Decision
The Green Bay Packers have three big question marks on their injured list as they prepare for their Week 1 game against the Minnesota Vikings.
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers is the most notable player on the list. He is dealing with a thumb injury that he suffered in the preseason. Rodgers has been practicing this week, but he is still listed as a game-time decision.
If Rodgers is unable to play, backup quarterback Jordan Love will start in his place.
Wide Receiver Allen Lazard and Defensive Tackle Kenny Clark Are Also Questionable
Wide receiver Allen Lazard and defensive tackle Kenny Clark are also questionable for Week 1. Lazard is dealing with an ankle injury, while Clark is dealing with a calf injury.
Both players have been practicing this week, but they are still not fully healthy. If either player is unable to play, it will be a big blow to the Packers.
Lazard is one of Rodgers' favorite targets in the passing game. Clark is a key part of the Packers' defense.
The Packers Will Need to Be at Full Strength to Beat the Vikings
The Packers are hoping to get all three players back for the Week 1 game against the Vikings. If they can, they will be at full strength and will be a tough team to beat. However, if any of the three players are unable to play, it will give the Vikings a big advantage.
