Packers heading for Week 1 with a clean bill of health
The Packers have been unusually healthy to this point in the 2024 season.
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. And now here we are, approaching Week 1 with a full deck.
It won’t last, of course. Health never does, and sooner or later injuries will derail some position or another, or potentially multiple spots at once. But for now, the Packers are fully loaded and ready to go, taking on the Eagles with everyone available.

There should probably be some caution with that optimism, but everything seems good for Watson so far this year.

Stokes has had about as rough of a couple of years as anyone could imagine, but he looks like he’s in a good place now.
