The best thing that happened to the Green Bay Packers on Thursday night was the team jumping out to a big lead in the first half. Coming off a short week and already shorthanded due to a few key injuries and COVID-related absences, many of the Packers’ depth players ended up taking the field for significant portions of Thursday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers, particularly in the second half.
Injuries to Rick Wagner, Krys Barnes, and Jaire Alexander forced the Packers to play different players in different combinations throughout the game.
