LaFleur Weighs Resting Packers Starters for Week 18 With Playoff Spot Secured

Roster attrition plus NFL limits leave only a handful of starters realistically restable.

Overview

Matt LaFleur said nothing has been decided on sitting starters for the regular-season finale against the Vikings.
Green Bay has clinched a postseason berth and is locked into the No. 7 NFC seed, so Week 18 carries no seeding stakes.
Injuries from the Ravens game and existing absences, combined with a 48-man gameday cap, mean only about five to seven players can realistically be held out.
Quarterback uncertainty lingers with Jordan Love in concussion protocol and Malik Willis having left the Ravens loss late with a shoulder issue.
Potential rest candidates discussed in team coverage include Jordan Love, Josh Jacobs, Christian Watson, and other key contributors, with backups poised for expanded snaps.
