The Packers beat the Lions 42-21 in Green Bay and 34-27 in Detroit last season. The Packers are 4-0 against the Lions since Matt LaFleur took over as Green Bay’s coach. Packers All-Pro OT David Bakhtiari is on the physically unable to perform list and will miss at least Green Bay’s first six games as he recovers from a torn anterior cruciate ligament. Packers S Darnell Savage left the Saints game with a shoulder injury. Packers TE Josiah Deguara and OG Lucas Patrick are in concussion protocol. Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Friday that Smith is going on injured reserve, which will keep him out for at least three games. Packers OLB Za’Darius Smith won’t play Monday night due to a back issue. Lions OT Taylor Decker is out with a finger injury that will cause him to miss at least Detroit’s first three games. Key injuriesĪlong with Okudah’s injury, the Lions have WR Tyrell Williams in concussion protocol. The Lions starting cornerbacks will likely be Oruwariye and Ifeatu Melifonwu, a rookie third-round pick from Syracuse. Adams will be facing a Detroit secondary that’s not at full strength without Okudah. The Saints limited him to five receptions for 56 yards. Adams had a franchise-record 115 catches for 1,374 yards last year and also had 18 touchdown catches to match Sterling Sharpe’s team record. QB Aaron Rodgers is the reigning MVP, but is coming off a miserable performance in which he went 15 of 28 for 133 yards with two interceptions and no touchdown passes. Detroit drafted the former Penn State standout with a fifth-round pick in 2019 and he started 15 games last season. Amani Oruwariye becomes the team’s top CB now that a ruptured Achilles tendon has knocked Jeff Okudah out for the rest of the season.
