Packers Total Access: 3 Keys to a Packers December Run? O-Line Moves, Micah Parsons & Jordan Love vs Pressure!
The Packers (6-3) host the Vikings on Sunday at noon CT, and itās the first big test of whether this team can turn a hot stretch into a December run. Minnesota is a different team than the one that beat Green Bay in Week 1, with Kirk Cousins reportedly set to return after a trade, Kyler Murray out with a hamstring injury, and Brian Floresā pressure defense that CBS calls the best in the league by numerous metrics. Green Bay had a season-high 16 players on Wednesdayās injury report, Micah Parsons is progressing, and Josh Jacobs has surgery Friday. We break down the three keys.
In this complete preview, we dive into:
Key #1: The Offensive Line Moves: Center Sean Rhyan (ankle) did not practice Thursday, and LaFleur said he could āpotentiallyā return, though missing practice isnāt a good sign for Sunday. Kevin Zeitler made his Packers debut last week when Aaron Banks left the Patriots game, and Stenavich said he is āinterested to see how it plays out this week with Banks, Zeitler, Laken.ā The best-case line on paper is Morgan, Tomlinson, Rhyan, Zeitler, and Belton, but the Packers havenāt played a single snap this season with Rhyan next to any combination of Banks, Tomlinson, and Zeitler, so continuity is a real question. Zeitler (ankle) and Banks (knee/hip) were limited Wednesday, and Travis Glover was also limited.
Key #2: Micah Parsonsā Ramp-Up: Parsons missed Wednesdayās jog-through with an illness, then practiced Thursday in shoulder pads and a helmet. LaFleur said the plan is for him to take part in team 11-on-11 work this week, and heās still targeting the Rams on Nov. 25 for his debut. Packers On SIās reporting suggests the plan has always been to bring him back after the bye, which means the Vikings game is about progress, not playing time. Also, kicker Trey Smack is dealing with a calf injury, and Skyy Moore had his return-to-practice window opened.
Key #3: Love vs. Pressure: Love was named NFC Offensive Player of the Week after 372 yards and three touchdowns against New England, but this is a different kind of defense. Early in the season, PFF had Loveās passing grade at 76.5 with a clean pocket and 25.1 under pressure, and the Packersā line allowed a 37.6 percent pressure rate. The good news is Love has the leagueās lowest time to throw at 2.58 seconds, and he completed 23 of 25 throws in under 2.5 seconds against Carolina. LaFleurās message is to avoid negative plays against Floresā blitzes.
Injuries To Watch: Jacobs (finger) will have surgery Friday and isnāt playing, with Kaleb Johnson the top back. Zaire Franklin (shin, three games missed) did not practice, and LaFleur said itās possible he returns. Lukas Van Ness (back), Javon Bullard (ankle/knee), and Josh Whyle (concussion) also missed practice Thursday.
The December Run: A win would put the Packers a half game back in the division, followed by the bye, the Rams on Nov. 25, the Bills, and the Saints. The line, Parsons, and Loveās pocket play are the three biggest swing factors. If all three break right, the team that beat the Patriots 45-27 looks like a playoff contender.
