The most storied rivalry in the NFL writes another chapter Sunday at Soldier Field as the Green Bay Packers (6-3) face the Chicago Bears (4-5).
With 52 members of the 53-man roster participating in practice, it’s fair to say the bye week did the Packers a world of good as they look to continue their recent dominance over their NFC North Division rival.
“Splitting up the season as close to in-half as possible – since we’ve got 17-game seasons now – I think it came at a really good time,” ESPN-Wisconsin’s Jason Wilde tells WTMJ.
“You would expect Jordan Love (knee/groin) to be fully healthy or close to it. You would expect Jaire Alexander (knee) to be back to full health.”
But how is the team reacting to the loss of linebacker, Preston Smith who was traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers during the bye week? Hear Wilde’s thoughts on the trade and upcoming match-up against the Bears, below.
