Green Bay is in some deep trouble, no joke. Wide receiver Matthew Golden was listed as out of practice for the second straight day on Tuesday. That’s rough, man. It’s a massive blow as the team pushes towards their Thursday night game.
Golden’s Numbers Speak For Themselves
Golden’s not just some guy, either. The dude leads the Packers with 36 catches already, and he’s second on the team with a solid 540 receiving yards. He’s battling shoulder and foot injuries. Losing your top receiver, especially one putting up numbers like that, for a second day of practice? That’s a gut punch as they prep for a huge Thursday night game against the Panthers. You gotta have your best guys out there, especially when the stakes are high.
The Rest of the Injury Report Isn’t Much Better
It’s not just Golden sitting out, either. Linebacker Zaire Franklin, battling a shin injury, offensive lineman Travis Glover with a knee problem, and center Sean Rhyan, who’s got an ankle issue, were all out of practice for the second day too. That’s a lot of key guys missing. Defensive tackles Anthony Campbell and Devonte Wyatt, both with ankle injuries, got bumped up to limited participation, which is a tiny bit of good news, I guess. Defensive end Brenton Cox (quad) and guard Aaron Banks (knee, toe) were also listed as limited participants. Cornerback Benjamin St-Juste (hamstring) was at least a full participant. Still, that’s a whole lot of dinged-up dudes for a short week.
So yeah, the Packers are heading into that Thursday night Panthers game with a seriously banged-up roster, especially their top receiver. You gotta wonder how they’re gonna put up points without Golden. Big game, big questions.
