This Sunday, the Green Bay Packers (1-1) head to the bay to take on the San Francisco 49ers (2-0) in a battle of longtime NFC foes. The Packers are trying to bolster their defense in the absence of star linebacker Za'Darius Smith, while the 49ers are in survival mode as the injuries, particularly in their backfield, begin to mount up.
Aaron Rodgers and the Packers offense made amends for their opening day debacle with a 35-17 win over the Detroit Lions on Monday Night Football.
As for the 49ers, after scraping by those same Detroit Lions on opening day, they looked more like NFC contenders after beating the Eagles 17-11. San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan has kept his cards close to his chest as the intrigue around their quarterback room grows.
This will likely benefit the 49ers as teams will have little idea whether to prepare for Jimmy Garoppolo's pocket presence or Trey Lance's mobility.
With an important matchup looming on Sunday, here is a look at the injury report and the starting lineups for the Green Bay Packers and the San Francisco 49ers.
