In a matchup against the Green Bay Packers, New Orleans Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler took the helm in his fourth career start, filling in for the injured Derek Carr. The Saints were also missing key players, including Pro Bowl running back Alvin Kamara and wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling.

On the Packers' side, their secondary faced significant challenges, missing three starters, including cornerback Jaire Alexander. Despite his return to practice, Alexander has yet to play, marking his fifth consecutive absence. The Packers' offense did see the return of tight end Luke Musgrave from injured reserve, though he has struggled this season.

Both Terron Armstead of the Miami Dolphins and Josh Myers of the Green Bay Packers are set to play on Thursday after being questionable due to injuries. Armstead has been managing a knee issue while Myers is recovering from a pectoral injury.

Meanwhile, the Dolphins will be without several players, including Tyus Bowser, Kendall Fuller, and Anthony Walker Jr. Miami also activated quarterback Tyler Huntley from injured reserve, although he will not play in this game.

The Packers will miss cornerback Jaire Alexander, linebacker Edgerrin Cooper, and wide receiver Romeo Doubs, marking a continued absence for Alexander and Cooper.

The Houston Texans face a challenging matchup against the Green Bay Packers, particularly with several key players sidelined for the Texans. Notably, linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair and rookie cornerback Kamari Lassiter are among the inactives, which could significantly impact the Texans' defensive strategy.

On the Packers' side, former first-round pick Devonte Wyatt will also miss the game due to an ankle injury. Despite these setbacks, the game will kick off at 12 noon CT on CBS and Paramount+.
