The Green Bay Packers came out of their Thanksgiving night victory over the Miami Dolphins in good shape physically. The same can’t be said for the Detroit Lions.
GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions are in much different shape physically following their grueling Sunday-Thursday gauntlet of games.
The Packers beat the 49ers on Sunday and Dolphins on Thursday and came out no worse for the wear. Cornerback Jaire Alexander and linebacker Edgerrin Cooper missed both games and receiver Romeo Doubs was injured against San Francisco and inactive vs. Miami.“We came out pretty clean,” LaFleur said. “I didn’t get to see everybody today. We had everybody come in to get a flush workout and kind of check in with the trainers and whatnot.
“He is going to go full speed and you’re going to feel his presence out there, and I thought he played really physical. Obviously, he got a forced fumble but he also got a big hit on third-and-5 where he ran through the receiver and knocked the ball out.” He will become the fourth linebacker on injured reserve, a list led by standout Alex Anzalone, who suffered a broken forearm a couple weeks ago. He has 56 tackles and is tied for the team lead with seven tackles for losses.
“I feel like it’ll be OK. It could be a little bit,” Lions coach Dan Campbell said of Paschal and Onwuzurike. “They could be down for a little bit. Look, I’ll be honest with you, I think Rodrigo is the one that could be the worst.” “I could sit there and throw a fit about it. What does it matter? It’s called, it’s done. So, I know this, whoever we have available, we’re going to get them ready to play and we expect them to hold the line, period. You’ve got to do your job, and everybody around you is looking for you to do your job. So, we’ll put you in the best position to have success, and we’ll go.”
