Shorthanded at wide receiver? That reality didn’t matter for the Green Bay Packers offense during Sunday’s 33-30 win against the Carolina Panthers.
“It’s what I always say,” said quarterback Jordan Love postgame, “next man up. And guys stepped up and made plays. Bo Melton, obviously, stepped into that role and had a huge day today. Did a good job. But obviously, things happen in football. Injuries happen. Just have to keep going. Keep fighting. The next guy up has to make those plays.”
Green Bay entered the game without Christian Watson (hamstring) and Jayden Reed (chest/toe), both of whom were ruled out beforehand with injuries.
