A question every offseason is which NFL team will appear on HBO TV series Hard Knocks, but only a small selection of teams can be forced to take part in the show.
The Packers aren’t among them this year. According to Dan Hanzus of NFL.com, there are three ways to avoid mandatory inclusion on Hard Knocks.
One is if your team has a first-year head coach. That applied to the Packers in 2019, but not this year. Another is if your team has appeared on the show in the past 10 years.
