In a match that many believe could be a precursor to the NFC Championship Game this year, the Green Bay Packers are going to be facing the Philadelphia Eagles at the legendary Lambeau Field. However, for both teams, the contest is a vitally important piece of their schedule given the circumstances.
Coming off their second loss of the season, a humiliating showing against the Carolina Panthers, the Packers will want to get back in the win column. For the Eagles, fresh off their bye week, they’d like to continue their dominant trend in recent weeks and vanquish a potential threat in the NFC. But neither team is coming into the game fully whole. Who is on the injury report, and who will be starting when these two teams face off?

For the Packers, the focus will be on Jordan Love. With an excellent defense and head coach combination, he remained the only real question mark on the team. So far this year, he’s answered the call more often than not.
However, in their two losses, his interceptions have been back-breaking for them and have directly contributed to the losses. With injuries to the wide receiver room piling up, not to mention the blow to tight end Tucker Kraft, the hope has to be that their supermax quarterback, ranked second on PFSN’s QB Impact, will be able to carry them over the hump.
