Green Bay Packers: Inactives revealed for Week 11 vs Los Angeles Chargers
The Green Bay Packers are welcoming the Los Angeles Chargers to Lambeau Field on Sunday for a pivotal mid-November game.
Both the Packers and the Chargers are coming into this game with losing records on the season. Both teams also had higher expectations for this season and are looking to turn things around as quickly as possible. In particular, Green Bay has lost five of its last six games and is now third in the NFC North. Without turning things around quickly, the Packers won’t have a shot at winning the division.
Last week, Green Bay lost a close game to the Pittsburgh Steelers. That was the Packers’ fourth one-score loss this season. So, it’s easy to see how close Green Bay is to potentially having a winning record this season. The Chargers, meanwhile, are coming off a close loss to the Lions. That was also Los Angeles’ fourth one-score loss of the season.
Kickoff for this game is at 1:00 P.M. EST. Ahead of that, both teams released a list of inactive players for the game.

Packers GM Brian Gutekunst emphasizes importance of final stretch for Jordan Love
This was the first season for Jordan Love as the starting quarterback for the Green Bay Packers. Amid the switch from Aaron Rodgers to Love, there have been some growing pains, and at the start of November GM Brian Gutenkunst emphasized the importance of the final stretch of games for Love.
“I think he’s done a lot of really good things,” Gutekunst said. “Really like the way he’s responded to the adversity, how he’s led the team. Again, we’ve got to be better as a unit, and I expect that to happen over the next 10 games. And I think that we’re going through some things that we knew we would go through. We haven’t had the results that we want, but I do like the way guys are responding to things.”
Since Gutenkunst made those comments, Green Bay has gone 1-1, with a win over the Rams and last week’s loss to the Steelers. In those games, Love has thrown for 517 yards and three touchdowns. he’s also thrown two interceptions.
