GREEN BAY, Wis. – Green Bay Packers outside linebacker Za’Darius Smith is expected to play in Sunday's season-opening showdown against the New Orleans Saints, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
After Smith didn’t practice on Friday, coach Matt LaFleur called him a game-time decision.
“We’ll give him all the way up to game time. And if he’s able to go, we’ll let him go,” LaFleur said.
Smith practiced on Monday and Wednesday, as well as Thursday’s padded practice. After sitting out Friday’s practice, the Packers listed him as questionable.
