As the Green Bay Packers look ahead to 2018, their week 17 game against the Detroit Lions may set the stage for several big changes across the roster and coaching staff.
As was the case last week, the Packers are likely to be missing several veteran players on both sides of the football. The injury report for this week is a mile long, with seven players listed as non-participants on Thursday and another six being limited in practice. That should open up plenty of opportunities for players like Reggie Gilbert, Michael Clark, and even Devante Mays to step up and contribute, showing their worth to the coaching staff and giving the coaches something to talk about in their one-on-one closeout meetings.
