Two Star Packers Confirmed To Play In Week 5

 The Green Bay Packers haven't looked spectacular at any point throughout the 2022 season, but they've managed to reel off three straight wins, and ahead of their travel to London in Week 5, they've received great news on two of their biggest stars. This will be one of the biggest matchups in Week 5, with both teams coming in at 3-1, and for the Packers, both their star left tackle David Bakhtiari and star cornerback Jaire Alexander will be available for the team, which is a huge boost as they look to keep pace with Minnesota in the NFC North.

Much was made in the off-season about Aaron Rodgers lack of weapons in 2022, but the team has been progressing well, and if the young receivers can continue to improve, once again we will be looking at a force in the NFC, as Green Bay look for their second Super Bowl in the era of No. 12.

Bakhtiari and Alexander are two huge inclusions in the chase of that goal, and if the Packers can come back from London with a 4-1 record with some very winnable games ahead on the schedule, the confidence will grow. The defence has been really solid in 2022, and if they can improve, along with the young offence, this team will be very fun to watch, but staying healthy is a priority, as Green Bay haven't built one of the deeper teams in the NFL.
