Both the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers head into a pivotal matchup for control atop the NFC North riddled with injuries. For the Lions, they are still reeling from a heavy injury game against the Seahawks in week two but the Packers have yet to be fully healthy all season long.
The Packers head into the matchup against the Lions with a 2-1 record, like the Lions, but they nearly didn’t get there. Against the Saints in their home opener last week, the Packers needed all 60 minutes to secure a win to be in this position. That game showed that the injuries the Packers are facing can be impactful and against the Lions they may not be able to overcome them.
Here are some key injuries at various positions that the Packers are dealing with heading into Thursday’s matchup.
