If the off-season continues the way it has, the Green Bay Packers won't have many new veteran faces in 2021.

Co-hosts Olivia Reiner and Tom Silverstein remember Thompson and took ahead to Sunday's matc...

The Packers dispatched the LA Rams and their No. 1 defense with ease Saturday afternoon and co-hosts Olivia Reiner and Tom Silverstein break down how they did it.

The Packers received a scare when recently acquired tackle Jared Veldheer tested positive for COVID-19, but so far everyone else has tested negative.

It took 15 weeks for rookie RB AJ Dillon to show how much he can add to the Packers offense and after cracking 100 yards in the team's 40-14 victory over Tennessee, it's logical to wonder what's next for him. Co-hosts Olivia Reiner and Tom Silverstein look at coach Matt LaFleur might use Aaron Jones, Jamaal Williams and Dillon when all three are healthy and available.

If the Green Bay Packers are to prove they're playoff-ready, they can start by keeping Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry from laying waste to their defense at Lambeau Field Sunday night.
