This is the Pack a Day podcast.

What's going on, Packers fans? Happy Packers Game Day. Welcome into an all new episode of the Packaday podcast. I'm your host, Andy Herman. You can follow me on Twitter at Andy Herman NFL. You can find the podcast at Packaday podcast. Appreciate you joining me for Packers Game Day. We've got a fun game to discuss today. Packers Vikings feeling good about this one. My mind thinks it's a Packers win. My gut tells me it's a Packers win. We just need to see a really fun, exciting Packers win, especially in the hollowed grounds of Lambeau Field. We'll break it all down for you today. Before we get there, I do want to mention that I am recording this on Friday night. I don't know what transactions are taking

place for Green Bay on Saturday. If there's any injury updates, signings, releases, elevations from

the practice squad. So wish I had that information for you. Luckily, you guys probably know it

by no already anyway, but I do want to be transparent. I am recording this Friday night.

I have a full Saturday jam packed. So not going to be able to record it late Saturday like I usually do. So you're on your own on that one, but I did just want to let you guys know that ahead of time. I also wanted to give a quick shout out to Jeremy Warren for becoming a brand new Packaday podcast YouTube member. Appreciate you, Jeremy, if you haven't signed up yet. Do so right now. Support the channel. We appreciate that a ton. ton of course the big news from friday jaden

reid started his 21 day practice window he's not playing this week we know that he is listed as out

i don't think he's going to play against detroit on thursday there's really no practice between now

and thursday so i don't think they're going to have them do one basically kind of, you know,

small practice on Friday and then no practice Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,

and then play against Detroit. It just doesn't seem to make much sense. The following game against

Chicago would seem to be the very likely return date if everything goes according to plan for

Jane Reed, but just great to see him back out at practice. Let's jump right into our Habish, Habish-Habish-Rotier injury report for this game. We'll start with Green Bay, out for the Packers, Nate Hobbs and Jaden Reed, as we discussed. Really no sign of Nate Hobbs returning did not practice limited or anything like that. So we're going to have to kind of keep an eye on that next week. I know maybe some of you are thinking, hey, I'm happy with Carrington Valentine and Kishon Nixon. I'm kind of fine right now. You still want him as depth. I also agree. I don't need to see him come in and take any of javon ballard kishon nixon or carrington

valentine snaps right now i would like him to be the next guy up so hopefully they can get him back

for maybe that game against detroit but maybe also more likely that game against chicago the big one

is quay walker he is doubtful for this game and that's a big loss he's the guy that calls the defense

he's a team captain and you's the guy that calls the defense.

He's a team captain. And you kind of like him organizing everything. Also, there is, to me, a step down from Quay Walker to Isaiah McDuffie. I'm probably a little bit higher on Isaiah McDuffie than most. He's had a pretty good season overall. I think he was a little bit better towards the beginning and middle of this. I think the last couple games, just a little bit of,

just a couple things I would have maybe liked to have seen different, but he's playing good football. I really truly believe that. But I do think you kind of want McDuffie in that 10 to 15 snap range, not in the 60 to 70 snap range, which is probably what he's going to have to play in this game.

Meanwhile, Tyrone Hopper would take over that base defense role.

The role that McDuffie usually plays, getting those 10 to 15 snaps,
