The Packers meet the Raiders in Las Vegas in Monday Night Football. Green Bay is 2-2 while the Raiders come in at 1-3. The Packers will be facing former teammate, wide receiver Davante Adams, who is in his second season with the Raiders.
Several players were listed as questionable on Friday’s injury report, including running back Aaron Jones (hamstring), cornerback Eric Stokes (foot), cornerback Jaire Alesander (back) and safety Rudy Ford (obilique).
But the injury report cleared the way for four of Green Bay’s five starting offensive lineman to play Monday night, October 9, against the Las Vegas Raiders. The one glaring omission from the lineup is five-time All-Pro David Bakhtiari, who announced earlier this week that he will miss the remainder of the season after re-aggravating the knee injury that has plagued him for the past three years.
Rasheed Walker, a seventh-round pick last year, will start his fourth game of the season at left tackle on Monday Night Football. Walker has played reasonably well in Bakhtiari’s stead, allowing 2 sacks and taking 3 penalties.
The Packers lost against the Lions at Lambeau Field in their last game. The pregame starts at 5:00 and the kickoff is at 7:15 and can be heard on 102.3, the Bug .
In the NFC North Sunday the Lions won at home over Carolina 42-24 and the Viking lost at Minneapolis to the Chiefs 27-20. Detroit is atop the division at 4-1, while the Packers are 2-2 and the Bears and Vikings are 1-4.
Allegiant Stadium is making history, and the Green Bay Packers will be a part of it during their Monday night matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.
On Friday, the Raiders and utility company NV Energy announced that Allegiant Stadium has become the first NFL arena to convert to 100% renewable energy.
Officials say it will reduce the stadium’s environmental footprint and significantly decrease energy use costs. Allegiant Stadium obtained LEED Gold Certification, an internationally recognized symbol of achievement in sustainability, in July.
Ricardo Hallman never got down on himself when his playing time diminished last year after a poor midseason performance.
Now he’s made himself into one of college football’s most prolific ball-hawking defensive backs.
Hallman scored on a 95-yard interception to shift the momentum just before halftime Saturday as Wisconsin defeated Rutgers 24-13 to remain the lone Big Ten West Division team without a conference loss.
“It was as big of a play as we’ve had all year,” Wisconsin coach Luke Fickell said.
Braelon Allen ran for 101 yards and a touchdown, and Wisconsin (4-1, 2-0 Big Ten) limited Rutgers (4-2, 1-2) to 64 yards rushing – less than one-third of the Scarlet Knights’ season average entering the day.
Wisconsin (4-1, 2-0) had a 17-0 halftime advantage.
Hallman has four interceptions in Wisconsin’s last three games. He picked off one pass in a 35-14 victory over Georgia Southern and two more in a 38-17 triumph at Purdue.
Evan Simon took over for an injured Gavin Wimsatt late in the third and threw a 10-yard score to Aaron Young late in the third quarter to cut Wisconsin’s lead to 17-6, though Jai Patel’s extra-point attempt bounced off the left upright.
Wisconsin responded by going on a 15-play, 72-yard drive that culminated with Tanner Mordecai’s 3-yard touchdown pass to Tucker Ashcraft. Mordecai finished 17 of 31 for 145 yards.
Wimsatt returned to the game and completed the scoring by throwing an 11-yard score to Ian Strong with 4:07 remaining.
Wisconsin hosts Iowa next Saturday.
