The Green Bay Packers did not win on Sunday against the Detroit Lions, but more importantly the team got a few injured players back into game action and suffered no huge injuries in the contest.
To ensure that was the case, many of the team’s key players sat out significant portions of the game. Several starters took a rest at halftime, with Aaron Rodgers, Davante Adams, Allen Lazard, and the returning David Bakhtiari among them. On defense, the team gave lighter workloads to many of their players across the defensive front, including their starting edge rushers and nose tackle Kenny Clark.
