GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Jordan Love's first ever start at Lambeau Field got a little tougher even before kickoff on Sunday.
Three key players on the Green Bay Packers' offense were declared inactive before the home opener against the New Orleans Saints: running back Aaron Jones, receiver Christian Watson and left tackle David Bakhtiari. In addition, left guard Elgton Jenkins had previously been ruled out.
The Packers' defense will be short-handed as well with No. 1 cornerback Jaire Alexander out. Alexander was added to the injury report on Friday because of a back injury and was questionable.
