On Tuesday, the Green Bay Packers showed interest in adding to the quarterback position after a heartbreaking loss to the Atlanta Falcons in Week 2. The Packers will play a 2-0 New Orleans Saints in Week 3.
The Packers offense is dealing with several key injuries to the offense this week. Running back Aaron Jones was out in Week 2 with a hamstring injury. It isn’t known when Elgton Jenkins and David Bakhtiari, who are dealing with knee injuries, will be back on the field.
