The Green Bay Packers have ruled out three key players against the Detroit Lions for Thursday Night Football. It’s definitely been a battle for the Packers to overcome injuries, especially with a short turnaround from Week 3. While there’s been some hope promised for both Christian Watson and Aaron Jones to be back on the field, the team would be even better with a little more help with offense. Packers Injury Updates Per Ian Rapoport, Green Bay has ruled out Elgton Jenkins (knee), De’Vondre Campbell (ankle), and David Bakhtiari (knee) for Thursday’s game. For #Lions vs #Packers: — GB ruled…

The Packers were without Aaron Jones once again as he’s missed the last two weeks with a hamstring injury. They were able to pull off a thrilling 18-17 win over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday even without the star running back in the game. However, things are pointing towards a positive direction in the return of Jones ahead of Thursday Night Football’s matchup against the Detroit Lions. Had the Packers practiced today, Aaron Jones would’ve been limited. According to LaFleur, though the team didn’t practice today, if they would have conducted practice, running back Aaron Jones would’ve been a…

The Bears allowed scores on seven consecutive positions, had two turnovers, and produced only 203 yards of offense. To add more insult to injury, literally, their already injured list just grew a little more. They fell to the Chiefs 41-10, their 13th loss in a row dating back to last season. You read that right. Last. Season. Kansas City Took Control The defending Super Bowl champions went into the game determined, cruising…

Listen, I know we’ve only just concluded Week 3, but it’s never too early to start discussing accolades. After a huge blowout 70-20 win over the Denver Broncos, the Miami Dolphins are quite arguably the best in the game. No argument about that. The Dolphins tacked on 70 points in a single game, that’s more points than any team since the Washington Redskins scored 72 in 1966. The Miami Dolphins are Undefeated Sure, there are other teams across the league that are undefeated, but they are not playing football like the Dolphins are. The Dolphins are 3-0, and while that’s…
