The Packers return to the practice field today in preparation for the Monday night matchup at Lambeau Field with the Lions. Green Bay is 4-1 while Detroit is 2-1-1. Last year, the Packers won just one game against NFC North opponents and that was the season opener against the Chicago Bears. They’re already 2-0 in the division this year and currently atop the North heading into Monday’s game. The Packers haven’t won their first three division games since 2012. Meanwhile, Green Bay will see a familiar face on the opposing sidelines as former defensive lineman Mike Daniels is in his first year as a Lion. He was cut by Green Bay just before training camp started and was quickly signed by the Lions.
