Returned to practice:
Henry Pearson (p/s)

Not practicing:

Christian Watson (warmed up, worked out outside)
Aaron Jones
Quay Walker
David Bakhtiari
Eric Stokes (PUP)
Luke Tenuta (IR)

There was no sign of Aaron Jones during the portion open to the media. Jayden Reed did practice and looked fine.

Michael Jordan was here practicing. He’s #79. (23 and 45 were taken).

Much of the country will get Packers at Atlanta. Kenny Albert and Jonathan Vilma with the call. LP of Michigan, and northwest, including Alaska, will get Seattle at Detroit. Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen with the call. Most of Illinois will get Chicago at Tampa Bay Joe Davis and Daryl Johnston with the call.

After all these years of watching football, looking at the injury report never stops feeling like a full blown windmill kick to the ball sack. Fuck.

[RashanGary]

And I swear to god, yeah, there are like two times a year where I’m like, haha, you’re missing your guys about the other team. But I swear it’s 90% of the time our disadvantage.

I don't know the reality of that - it does seem that way, but is it just our impression? - but I am pretty sure the Packers have a reputation for being more careful than most teams with injuries.

I'm going to have to read up on these Falcons, and also do some research to see where the game will be shown and on what services. I'm contemplating buying some kind of package so I can see all the Packer games, but that's a big investment. Maybe, being single again, I could just go to sports bars and watch from there. The beers and snacks and tips over the course of a season might still be less than what I'd pay for whatever that NFL package is.

Any advice on this economic question?

If you're purchasing NFL Sunday Ticket without YouTube TV (via YouTube Primetime Channels), it'll cost $449 per season.

If you spend more than 27.00 bucks at the bar for each game, then it is worth it.
( assuming your fridge is already stocked. )

Maybe not when you consider at least 6 games will be televised nationally.

But you can't do this at a bar ?

I think Aaron Jones will be available to play, probably not Walker or Watson. I think we'll know more after today's injury report comes out and Friday's for sure. This early in the season, I'd expect anyone who got dinged up even slightly will get a break from the Wed practice.

#Packers LB Quay Walker remains in concussion protocol, but he is practicing today. A very good step in the right direction, and a sign he might need available Sunday against the Falcons. His presence especially important with all of the athletic playmaker on Atlanta’s offense.

You can't? Whuut?

Thanks Sparkey - I am sure I can nurse a beer or two and one snack for a game, as long as I tip the waitress well. Between that and six games on national TV (though I don't get ESPN), it's probably not worth $500 to buy the NFL pass or whatever it's called.

Plus Fritzy gets both Lions games on the local channel.

Actually, both Lions games are on Thursday Night this year. First one is on Amazon Prime. Second one is on Thanksgiving which everyone will see.

If all you care about is $, you can milk one beer the entire game and come out ahead every time. That also means you're not able to watch later or drink more than one drink. Yo have to get your ass out of the house for the kickoff and stick to your one drink for the entire game.
