Interior Defense Line with guys like Keke will need to continue to help out Kenny Clark. If Alexander is out, I'd rather see Stokes cover him then Kevin King.
Krys Barnes should be back. Same with King.
This may have to be a shootout unless the Packers can generate decent pass rush.

Take the over.
Ja'Marr Chase has to be excited to see King out there. Can Tee Higgins sit out another week?
With no Jaire, I think they will fall back to the bend but don't break philosophy. It's been nice seeing aggressive play calling from Barry the last 2 weeks, but I think the move now is to sit back and pray for a mistake from the offense.
It's one of the confusing things of the AR era that the Bengals have been a team he's "struggled" against. 1-2 record, 4th worst QB Rating vs a team. Cincy has some talent at WR, would be ideal to get some pressure out of the front 7. Feeling like AR is gonna have to bring it...

Sounds like very game since forever

And then break in the EZ. Stokes looks legit but he is a rookie. I don't even know who is playing opposite with King out.

Wasn't that Marvin Lewis's D though? It will be interesting to see if AR struggles again vs the new bengals.
AR seemed to give a lot of the credit to Mike Zimmer for his struggles against the Bengals.
If Zimmer gets shitcanned the Packers should hire him as a DC. Sounds like Mayo's micromanaging style probably wouldn't make that an option.

He has also talked about what a great defensive coach he is when playing vs. Vikes
From MLF presser, ongoingâĶ.
@ByRyanWood: #Packers coach Matt LaFleur says team is still collecting opinions on CB Jaire Alexander. He will have an update on Wednesday. LaFleur confirms it is a shoulder injury.
Get him in a harness. It's a bitch of an injury but at least he isn't throwing the ball.
Youâre probably the kind of coach that withholds water during two a days.
Sounds like Mixon won't be 100 percent this week, if he plays:
Bengalsâ RB Joe Mixon was diagnosed with a low-grade ankle sprain that will leave him week to week, per source.

Sounds like even grade 3 sprains usually don't require surgery. It's physical therapy, rehab and pain tolerance. I'd take a one armed Jaire over a 2 armed King.
From JSO:
"Almost always, a sure course is to try rehab first," Douros said. "Even with a grade 3 injury, you're able to avoid surgery just by doing some physical therapy and getting the shoulder stronger and getting the pain to subside."
Douros pointed out that because the small joint is the only attachment of the upper extremity to the torso, the area sees a significant amount of stress from pushing, pulling and lifting.
Even without surgery, the timetable for return to athletic competition varies widely based on the breadth of severity.
Quarterback Kyler Murray of Arizona suffered an AC joint injury in 2020 and Tom Brady suffered one in 2017, but neither missed time

Yeah, definitely more Zimmer than Lewis. And only win for AR was after Zimmer left...

Nightmares of Brad Hoover.
Packers at Bengals â Bill Vinovich
I would imagine we see Stokes/Sully/Jean Charles with 3 Safeties in C3 all day basically.
Front 4 have to get home all day to keep this from being a shootout.
He is 100 % better than Jerome Boger.
A game where players call their own penalties is better than Jerome Boger....Angel Hernandez throws his remote at the t.v. in anger when Boger is reffing....Aquib Talib has a better command of the English language than Jerome Boger....
Iâll be in Minnesota during the game. Havenât had to stream for awhileâĶ can I stream from Packers.com? Otherwise open to suggestions.
So I am going to be at the game on Sunday which is the great news. The bad news? I have seen the Packers play in Cincy 5 times for preseason and in the regular season. What is their record when I go? yep 0-5
I also have never seen the Brewers win in Cincy I bet they are 0-8 when I go. Maybe I should keep the jinx at home and sell my tickets?
I don't know a lot about the Bengals but what I have seen of them Burrow is good but is still learning and the OL is still under a lot of work. Defensively they are better than years past but not great. They are young in the secondary so I expect Adams should have a good day.

Please stay home.
Mixon will be a headache if he plays. It will be a big help if he doesn't.

https://nfl5.ir/simulator has been working really well for me.
Thanks for that link, BrainDed, i'll have to check that out.
Another option for everyone:
I usually use sportsurge.net, that site has multiple streams to select from. I usually choose markky.

I've had good luck with the Fox feed.
Gilmore wants to play for the Packers
King apparently out of the concussion protocol.
@TomSilverstein: #Packers coach Matt LaFleur said that CB Jaire Alexander is probably going to avoid surgery, but he wouldn't say how long he'll be out. He did concede he probably won't play this week. LaFleur said they're going to try to avoid surgery "at all costs." Sound like they will eventually try to get him on the field and most likely with a brace on. But when that is...???
@ByRyanWood: Matt LaFleur says Jaire Alexander's season would "most likely" end if he needed shoulder surgery. That's why #Packers are doing everything they can to avoid it. Potentially a very big problem.
Surgery is pretty uncommon for this type of injury. I'd be really surprised if they went that route. I think it's mostly a matter of managing the pain level and trying to regain a somewhat normal range of motion. That part will probably be limited for some time if it's a grade 2 or 3.
It takes something pretty serious like a car wreck to have something that needs surgery.
If he's that close to needing surgery, they're going to at least IR him for the short term to get him healthy-er.
Josh Myers did not practice today. He has a finger injury. I wonder if itâs as bad as Larry (Rock) Maccarrens?

They aren't saying if surgery is needed.... It could be rest would best.
