The Packers are heading into Week 1 in an unusual place, and it’s not Brazil.
Well, it is Brazil, but that’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about their unusual health. Approaching their first game of the season, the Packers have essentially everyone they could want available this week, with the possible exception of AJ Dillon — and it’s an open question how big of a loss that actually is.
The health of the team has been an interesting theme throughout training camp. Injuries didn’t play a factor in any major roster decisions; nobody made the team at a crucial position because somebody else was hurt.
