This is the Pack a Day podcast.

What's going on, Packer's fans? Happy Wednesday afternoon. 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. Thank you so much for joining me today. If you'd be ever so kind as to like, subscribe, comment, give those five-star reviews. We always appreciate that a ton. We're going to get to

our grades and film review here in just a moment before we get there. A few different things to go

over, including some transactions, final injury report, et cetera. Also want to shout out Charlie Neiman,

Roy O, Elliott Hester, and just the letter F, I guess, which is appropriate maybe for the show. Thank you so much for signing up to become brand new members. Appreciate you guys a ton. As mentioned, we did have some transactions that took place some interesting transactions. Packers released kicker Lucas Aversick. Brandon McMahon is clearly good to go. They feel comfortable with him. Aversick had that rough outing in the wind. And now his time in Green Bay is done. At least for now, we'll see if they bring him back in the practice squad. That could be a potential option for Green Bay. But otherwise, if he is gone, he mostly did his job. Again, had the one issue in the where, I guess the two kicks in the wind, but it didn't cost Green Bay in that game when they really needed him. He came up big. I would still say overall a rather successful stint for Lucas Haversick in Green Bay, but he was released. They signed wide receiver Will Shepard. That's an interesting transaction. Will Shepard did get some time as a punt returner in preseason. It's not something he did a ton in his college

career, really at all in his college career or anything like that. So there's not, it's not like

they got this dynamic punt returner now, but it is a potential another option for that spot.

They also may need some wide receivers because of some injuries. We'll talk about that in just a

moment. They also elevated linebacker

Jamon Johnson and safety Jalen Simpson. Both of those could be core special teams players if in fact

they're actually active on game day just because they're activated the day before. Doesn't mean that

they're actually going to make that final 48 man roster, just like we saw with Jamie and Johnson a day

ago. These could be just in case,

breaking case of emergency sort of players that they have available if they need them, but they

may not need them dependent upon some of the final injury statuses, which we're going to go over

right now. All right. Out for Green Bay in this game, Carl Brooks, which means they're going to be

limited to four defensive tackles. They'll still have their starting duo of Devante White and Colby Wooden. They'll also have Warren Brinson and Nassir Stackhouse, the two rookies. But Carl Brooks is out for this game. Shouldn't be a huge deal. He only played three snaps a week ago. I think they should be fine without him.

Jaden Reed did not get activated. So he is out for this game. LVN is out. A little bit of a disappointment there that they thought he was going to be ready. Probably another one of those

players that they should have waited a few more days and not brought back last week. Hindsight's

always 2020. But Green Bay's not again had the best track record with bringing some of these players back from injury. He was clearly still hurt, was only playing, what, six snaps a week ago. He is out for this game. Savian Williams, another interesting one here where he's been able to fight through this foot injury. I don't know if it got worse. If he aggravated it, et cetera, but he is out

for this game as well. So just to recap, Carl Brooks, Jaden Reed, LVN, and Saviann Williams, all are out for this game. There are four additional players who are questionable for this game. Matthew Golden is going to be a big one, too. If he could go, that would be huge for Green Bay. The call-up of Will Shepard would maybe say he might not be able to go or at least it's a game time decision.
