Last I counted we had about 45 healthy players on the active list. Not too long ago, that was the roster size limit.

The run defense which is already struggling....add in losing Keke and Lancaster injury.....I don't care who is in the backfield for MN, they should be licking their chops.
From what I read, Kenny Clark was not at full strength (from Covid) against the Ravens and had to play more snaps then planned due to the injuries to his teammates. So it will help to have him healthier. Packers really should have fortified the DL a long time ago, but maybe Gute is out there shopping today for that.

I sure hope he is! With Keke possibly out..they need all the reinforcements they can get.

You mean like you jumping on people because you don't agree with them?
Lot of that goes on here by certain individuals that try to shut you down for “missing the point” or not agreeing with them. Then they claim they will ignore you but take cheap shots….

This has happened, but this all started with a false claim, which someone merely posted the actual facts and rankings of opposing offenses over the last month or so.

There was no "targeting" or "bullying" in this specific instance. Not saying it hasn't occurred before, witnessed it for sure as you described for sure.

Like i said..what about a steel toed shoe?
Apple can make a phone case that’s nearly indestructible. I watched their engineer put a piece of that material around his hand and hit himself with a sledgehammer With a smile. Yet we cannot find a protective piece to go over his pinky toe to stop a person from crushing it with a mere step? I think the same people that can’t find computer chips for a multi billion $ automobile sector must be running the show!

Steel toe shoes are common in industry. I'm certain one could be fashioned in a football shoe.

There was a lot posted here and I did not read it all. My apologies for wandering in and posting this if it has already been posted. I heard on the local radio that Cousins stats take a significant hit when Theilen is out. Jefferson no doubt is a major weapon, but without Theilen they don't have anyone to distract the secondary with. That is the hope at least. They can shade more on Jefferson and go from there.

Having one excellent receiver is nice, but they draw a lot of double teams. If you have a second one, one of the two will not be double teamed, and therein rests a good chance of a QB looking pretty darned good. Cousins, without a second, is not that good a QB, because he doesn't have the touch of a Brady, or Rodgers.

On the other hand, Rodgers himself is a full step better when the double teams disappear.

They still have Conklin and #17, who is pretty fast. Granted he is no Thielen, and, probably was covered by a 3rd or 4th db.

I just hope our run defense can put on a show like they did against Derrick Henry last season.

Woah..guess so. They did sign Sloter the other day. Can't imagine he would start though. I'm sure it will be Mond.

Kirk Cousins has tested positive for COVID-19, will not play on Sunday.

Massive.
Definitely improves the likelihood that we'll win, but I can't help but fear that the playoffs are going to be a disaster. Teams are going to be decimated and it'll likely affect the quality of the games. Not good.
