The Packers are in London today getting ready for their first international game Sunday against the New York Giants. The Packers practiced in Green Bay Thursday and then flew out last evening. Both teams are 3-1 on the season. The Packers defense will be challenged up front by the Giants offensive line and need to stop the NFL’s leading rusher Saquon Barkley. Barkley has rushed for a league-best 463 yards, averaging 5.5 yards a carry. He’s coming off a 463 yard effort in a 20-12 win over the Bears Sunday. The Giants quarterback is still uncertain. Starter Daniel Jones sprained his left ankle against the Bears, though he is practicing on a limited basis. His backup Tyrod Taylor is in concussion protocol. The Giants also have Davis Webb on their practice squad.
Cornerback Jaire Alexander saw full participation in Thursday’s practice after suffering a groin injury and missing the Patriots game. Defensive lineman DeVonte Wyatt was the only player on Thursday’s injury report who did not practice. He injured a quadricep.
The Packers will practice today in London.
