The Packers are almost fully healthy entering the season opener.

A long season awaits for the Green Bay Packers. As is the case for every Super Bowl contender, getting good luck with injuries will be important over the next few months.

Outside of David Bakhtiari not being ready just yet — he’ll miss the first six games on the PUP list — the Packers are close to full strength ahead of their opener against the New Orleans Saints.

According to ESPN’s Rob Demovsky, the only player on the roster not to practice on Wednesday was safety Vernon Scott, who is dealing with a hamstring injury.
