Packers Week 2 injury designations: EDGE Za’Darius Smith on IR, LG Lucas Patrick questionable

The Detroit Lions Week 2 opponent, the Green Bay Packers, have declared their injury designations ahead of their contest on “Monday Night Football” and they could be without two starters, one on each side of the ball.

Za’Darius Smith placed on IR

On Friday afternoon, Packers coach Matt LaFleur notified the media that pass rusher Za’Darius Smith would be placed on injured reserve and unavailable for this week’s game against the Lions. This is a big break for the Lions as Smith has feasted on the Lions since joining the Packers in 2019.
