Packers Must Produce Pressure On Opposing Quarterbacks Without Top Edge Rushers

The Green Bay Packers defense has another challenge on its hands this week. Joe Barry’s group will face the Rams on Sunday, a team with the fourth best passing offense in the league based on average yards passing per game, but they will have to do it without several of their top edge rushers.

The Packers have been without Za’Darius Smith since the season opener against the Saints. Since then, he was placed on the injured reserve after underdoing back surgery. No timetable has been given for his return.

Rashan Gary and Preston Smith have been the starters in Za’Darius Smith’s absence.
