The Green Bay Packers and New Orleans Saints will clash in Week One on Sunday. Due to the tragic events of Hurricane Ida, the game is being held in Jacksonville.
But that won't stop either team from wanting to stake their claim in the NFC. The Packers are looking to get past their NFC Championship demons. Aaron Rodgers is coming off an MVP season with Aaron Jones and Davante Adams back. On the other hand, the Saints are a team in transition at quarterback. Jameis Winston will look to lead an injury-filled Saints team to an upset victory.
Green Bay Packers at New Orleans Saints Injury Report
Green Bay Packers
The Packers have a few names on their injury report. All-Pro left tackle David Bakhtiari is on the PUP list to begin the season. A new addition to the list is edge rusher, Za'Darious Smith. Smith is dealing with a back injury and won't know if he's playing until Sunday. Safety Vernon Scott has been ruled out. Tyler Lancaster is questionable on the defensive line. Meanwhile, Will Redmond and Randy Ramsey were placed on injured reserve during the preseason.
New Orleans Saints
The Saints aren't as fortunate as the Packers with their injury report. Tre'Quan Smith was their number two wide receiver and is on IR. Joining him on IR are Ken Crawley, Will Clapp, Nick Vannett and WIll Lutz. Their star wide receiver Michael Thomas finds himself on the PUP list, ruling him out for six games.
