Official Week 5 Green Bay vs Cincinnati Thread

from the green bay press gazette:

Packers practice report

The Packers had offensive lineman Anthony Belton (ankle) and defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt (knee) stay inside the Don Hutson Center as the rest of the team went outside for practice Oct. 10. The two linemen have missed practice all week.

Rasheed Walker (quad) missed the Oct. 9 practice but went outside to join the team Oct. 10.

McManus usually practices kicks on Wednesdays and Fridays each week. He had cleats on, but it was unclear if he kicked in practice, as the media is not allowed access on Fridays.

Christian Watson won’t play this week, per coach Matt LaFleur

Packers receiver Christian Watson returned to practice this week for the first time since tearing his ACL in last season's Week 18 matchup against the Chicago Bears in January.

His 21-day practice window from the PUP list opened Oct. 6. Watson said he’s feeling healthy and eager for his return to action.

“He has looked pretty damn good, so I’m excited for when that day comes,” LaFleur said. “He’s definitely going to add an element to our offense.”

It's a long season and I would probably hold him out another game, even two. But that's just me.

I would lean in that direction too

if we can't beat the bengals without him, we should just forfeit the rest of the season.

they had a stable line combo for the Dallas game with Kinnard at RT and Morgan at LG, they settled in and the offense scored 40 on the road against a bad D. Being at home is a huge advantage for the OL, they’re playing a bad D again, I would roll with the group from last week for one more go round.

Same here. Keep that group together one more week and see how it plays out

Packers signed K Lucas Havrisik to their active roster for Sunday’s game vs. the Bengals.

it is hard to believe that mcnamee would be worse.

edit: after doing a little more digging i found out that haversik in the ufl this spring was 22 of 25 on all field goals, with a long of 54, leading the league in field goals made.
