The Green Bay Packers are limping into the bye week at 2-3 after losing consecutive games, including Monday night’s 17-13 defeat in Las Vegas, but some hope exists for Matt LaFleur’s team coming out of the bye.
Not only do the Packers get a chance to get healthy before facing the Denver Broncos, who are 1-4 through five games with a historically poor defense, but Green Bay won’t have to face one of the league’s superstars the week after going to Denver.
Per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, the Minnesota Vikings will place All-Pro receiver Justin Jefferson on injured reserve after he injured his hamstring during Sunday’s loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
