Green Bay Packers

The Green Bay Packers have some very important players dealing with injuries. At Friday’s practice, wide receiver Christian Watson went with the team outside after stretch, but Aaron Jones did not. Quay Walker, who is still in concussion protocol, did practice for the second straight day. As for David Bakhtiari, he did not practice. Walker looks to possibly be in the best shape to play on Sunday for Green Bay on the road against the Atlanta Falcons after suffering a concussion last weekend against the Chicago Bears. That will be huge for this football team because they are facing an…

Milwaukee Brewers Sal Frelick

The Milwaukee Brewers have had a spark in their lineup since rookie outfielder Sal Frelick was called up from the minor leagues earlier in the season. Frelick is one of the reasons why the Brewers are knocking at the door for a potential National League Central crown. Entering Friday, Milwaukee’s magic number to win the division title is at 12. They currently have a lead of 4.5 games over the Chicago Cubs (78-69 record) and the Cincinnati Reds (76-72 record) at seven games. Milwaukee’s record so far this season is 82-64. They are hoping to get to the 90-win threshold…

Green Bay Packers

The Green Bay Packers coaching staff is praising the Falcons defense ahead of Sunday’s matchup against them. Green Bay is looking to improve to 2-0 on the year. The Packers played a relatively easy defense last week against the Chicago Bears. Even though the Atlanta Falcons have not had a good defense in the last couple of years, their defense should not be overlooked. According to Aaron Nagler’s Twitter, who is the co-founder of cheesehead TV, retweeted a tweet that Dan Orlovsky said and replied to it and said: ” “This defense is crazy” is what a Packers coach texted…

Last season, Wisconsin had a 20-15 overall record and a 9-11 record in the BIG10 Conference. The Badgers lost to the North Texas Green Eagles in the NIT Final Four. Wisconsin is always dealing with a tough BIG10 Conference every single year. The Athletic ranked the Badgers as the 15th-best team in college basketball in their preseason Top 25 poll. The only team in the BIG10 Conference ranked ahead of the Wisconsin Badgers…

Aaron Jones Christian Watson

The Packers were missing two key offensive players on Thursday at practice, and they were running back Aaron Jones and wide receiver Christian Watson. This is not good for both of them as we get closer to Sunday’s contest on the road against the Atlanta Falcons (1-0). It’s the second consecutive day that Aaron Jones has missed practice for the Packers. It appears as if he going to miss this weekend’s game with a hamstring injury. Jones’s injury is opening the door for AJ Dillon to start at running back this weekend. Dillon was seen at practice on Thursday taking…

Packers

The Packers’ defense held up on its own last weekend against the Chicago Bears in the 38-20 win. This week, they will have a totally different challenge when facing the Atlanta Falcons on the road. As of Wednesday, Quay Walker was still in concussion protocol, and it would be a huge loss for Green Bay if he was not able to play this weekend. If Walker is out, Eric Wilson or Isaiah McDuffie would get the start in his place for the Green Bay Packers. What is the potential challenge that this defense will face this weekend when they face…
