Overview
- The matchup is Sunday, Nov. 2 at Lambeau Field, with Green Bay 5-1-1 and Carolina 4-4.
- Bryce Young returned to practice and is expected to play after an ankle injury, while backup Andy Dalton was limited with a broken thumb.
- Carolina’s offensive line is depleted, with guard Brady Christensen out for the season and the statuses of center Cade Mays and right tackle Taylor Moton uncertain; guard Chandler Zavala could return from IR.
- It’s a strength-on-strength test: the Panthers average 136.9 rushing yards per game against a Packers defense allowing 78.9, with Micah Parsons leading the NFL with 44 pressures and Rashan Gary at 7.5 sacks.
- BetMGM lists Green Bay as a 13.5-point favorite as the Packers emphasize avoiding a lookahead and aim to jump-start a run game that recently held Josh Jacobs to 33 yards.
