The Green Bay Packers got hit in the ribs, and injuries are piling up. Injuries can slow down the momentum and pace of any game. Especially if it’s a wild-card game. Packers QB Jordan Love has suffered an injury that could cost them in the short run. Head coach Matt LaFleur chose to allay fears as he spoke about Love’s injury troubles. Besides the update on Love, LaFleur also highlighted a strong offensive strategy the team plans to utilize as they land at the Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia for the wild card showdown.

Jordan Love injured his throwing hand in the final of the regular season and it sent a wave of anxiety amidst the Packers fans. Giving an update on QB, LaFleur said, “He is playing limited.” It’s scary as the head coach himself believes – “when a player is in the limited practice, it’s always a concern.” However, Love is hopeful about his upcoming game. On the elbow, the strain has said, “We’ll see. Yeah. I’m hopeful.” But fans don’t have to worry too much as Malik Willis, the backup quarterback, has undergone rigorous practice, in case things go differently.

LaFleur issued a strong directive to his team as reflected in the question posed to him about Bo Melton (WR). When reporters asked “How Willis and Bo are ready to contribute more without (WR) Christian Watson available?”, the Packers HC said, “Yeah, absolutely. Those guys approach it the right way. Bo has shown that a year ago. I think both of those guys are ready for it. You hate to see what happened to Christian. That’s really a kick in the gut. But everybody in that has picked up a slack. Whether it’s those guys or Dontayvion Wicks or Romeo Doubs or Jayden Reed. Collectively as a unit, I think we have to do that.”

So, the pressure on the young brigade of the Packers is mounting as they find themselves having to fill up the space created by the star cast. The head coach has also provided an injury report that involves several important players and their current status before they land in Philadelphia.

Matt LaFleur to play key player against the Eagles

LaFleur appeared before the press on Wednesday and shared a significant update on the players who are injured and also on the reinforcement of key players. First of all, he said that Malik Willis, Javon Bullard, Edgerrin Cooper, Brenton Alexander Cox Jr, Andre Dillard, Jordan Love, Quay Walker, and Evan Williams were doing ‘limited’ practice.

However, the Packers expect some players to bounce back and return to contribute to the Eagles game. The LB Quay Walker and S Evan Williams were both back on the practice field to start on-field prep for the postseason, according to Mike Spofford. These are the two players LaFleur has great expectations of. Walker had an ankle injury during the Seahawks game, so he missed the last three games of the regular season. Safety Evan Williams is also out with a quad injury and hasn’t played a game since the 21st of December.

Alright. The HC Matt LaFleur and crew have to pull up their pants next Monday. As y’all know, how dominating Saquon Barkley is if you give him even a narrow gap to run. The Packers have to stop this 2000-yard rushing beast.

So, the NFC wild-card round’s gonna be a great tussle as both green gangs will fight to win the game at any cost.
