Coaching Insights
Head Coach Matt LaFleur provided insights on the injury status of his players. He noted that many are making progress but emphasized the challenges of playing on a short week. “We’re kind of up against it when you’re talking about Thursday football,” LaFleur stated.
In addition, he acknowledged that cornerback Keisean Nixon may not be decided until game time, indicating the team’s need for flexibility based on player conditions. The return of Lukas Van Ness is also uncertain as he is considered “day-to-day” after his return from a five-game absence.
As the Packers approach this crucial game against the Lions, the impact of their injury report will play a significant role in the team’s performance on the field.
