GREEN BAY, Wis. — The NFC North-leading Green Bay Packers would love to showcase how good they can be when all their top players are available and healthy.

Whether they’ll actually get that opportunity remains uncertain.

Green Bay (9-3) enters its long-awaited bye week with a 3 1/2-game lead in its division and trailing only the Arizona Cardinals (9-2) in the race for the NFC’s top seed. The Packers would own the tiebreaker advantage because they won 24-21 at Arizona on Oct. 28.

They’re hoping this week off gives their long list of injured players a chance to recover.

“I was talking to (linebacker) De’Vondre Campbell right before I came in here and he was like, ‘We just played 12 games straight. That’s like playing a whole college football season without one bye,'” running back A.J. Dillon said after a 36-28 victory over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. “So I think a lot of people could use the rest and time to refresh and come back and be refueled and recharged.”

The Packers aren’t far off the pace they established each of the past two seasons, when they went 13-3 and won division titles before losing in the NFC championship game. They’ve done that without having many of their most notable players.

David Bakhtiari, a 2020 All-Pro left tackle, hasn’t played since tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee on Dec. 31. Outside linebacker and 2020 Pro Bowl selection Za’Darius Smith has been out since the season opener because of back trouble. Cornerback Jaire Alexander injured his right shoulder on Oct. 3 and hasn’t played since.

Lineman Elgton Jenkins — a Pro Bowl pick in 2020 — and tight end Robert Tonyan have suffered season-ending knee injuries. Rookie center Josh Myers also has a knee injury.

“We’ve had so many guys step up, though, in their stead — guys we expected to play well and guys we didn’t expect to maybe not play a whole lot or even be a part of the football team,” quarterback Aaron Rodgers said. “Really proud of those guys and their efforts.”

Rodgers says he fractured a pinky toe while working out at home during his quarantine after testing positive for COVID-19. The injury caused him to practice just once over the past two weeks, but it hasn’t impacted his production.

The reigning MVP threw for 307 yards with two touchdown passes and one touchdown run against the Rams, though coach Matt LaFleur noted that “he certainly was limping around a little bit, especially in the fourth quarter.”
