Get ready for the schedule release this week with a primer on what we know so far for the Packers."The NFL has announced when the announcement will happen — the league will release its 2019 schedule on Wednesday evening at 8:00 PM Eastern. Until then Za'Darius Smith Jersey , however, we have little information about when the Green Bay Packers will be playing after week one.However, we do know when the Packers’ first regular season game will be, and we also know who the team will be playing along with where. Here’s everything you need to know to get ready for the schedule release this week.Opening WeekThe Packers will open the season on Thursday Night Football, playing the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. This is the first year in over a decade that the defending Super Bowl champions are not opening the season, and the rationale is historical in nature. After all, the Bears and Packers are the NFL’s longest-running rivalry, so the league elected to start off its historic 100th season with the 199th meeting between the two legendary franchises.Packers’ 2019 Regular Season OpponentsThe Packers’ opponents for the upcoming season are already decided by the league’s schedule rotation. Green Bay will play every other team in the NFC North twice, once at home and once on the road. They will then face the NFC East and AFC West as their rotational divisions, with the final two games dependent on their finish in the standings in 2019. The Packers finished third in the NFC North, so they draw the third-place team in the NFC South at home and the third-place NFC West team on the road.Home GamesNFC North: Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, Minnesota VikingsNFC East: Philadelphia Eagles, WashingtonAFC West: Denver Broncos Womens DeShone Kizer Jersey , Oakland RaidersNFC South: Carolina PanthersRoad GamesNFC North Opponents: Chicago Bears (week 1), Detroit Lions, Minnesota VikingsNFC East: Dallas Cowboys, New York GiantsAFC West: Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles ChargersNFC West: San Francisco 49ersPreseason ScheduleThe NFL announced the preseason schedule of games about a week ago.

Not a serious issue. That’s how Green Bay Packers long snapper Hunter Bradley described an injury that he suffered in practice on Wednesday, according to beat writer Tom Silverstein.Despite that assessment, Bradley — a seventh-round draft pick in 2018 — missed practice entirely on Thursday, which is typically the team’s heaviest workload of the week. The Packers play the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday afternoon at Lambeau Field, and Bradley will have just one more chance to practice this week on Saturday. With his status now officially in question for this weekend, the Packers probably need to prepare for an emergency situation.After having just two long snappers in seventeen seasons from 1998 to 2014, the Packers have gone through quite a series of players at that position over the past two years. Despite suffering a torn ACL late in the 2015 season, Brett Goode had manned the spot going back to 2008 and he returned to play every game in 2016. However, the team moved ahead with a pair of young players in the 2017 offseason, as Derek Hart and Taybor Pepper each received chances to win the job. Instead Blake Martinez Jersey , Goode came back in training camp to take his old job back, but was injured after a few games and received an injury settlement. The Packers then signed Pepper for a few games, but he broke his foot, leading to Goode’s return for the remainder of the year.This season, Goode was allowed to walk yet again, and Bradley won a competition in camp against Zach Triner. Now, with Bradley’s status up in the air and Goode a free agent, it’s possible that the team could give him a call once again for the final four games of the season.Aside from the Packers placing Tra Carson and Kevin King on injured reserve, there was only one change in injury status from Wednesday to Thursday. That related to tight end Jimmy Graham, who was upgraded to limited from a non-participant after receiving a typical Wednesday off.Packers Thursday Practice ReportDid Not ParticipateOL Byron Bell (knee)LS Hunter Bradley (ankle)OT Bryan Bulaga (knee/illness)S Raven Greene (ankle)Limited ParticipationCB Bashaud Breeland (groin)S Kentrell Brice (ankle/concussion)WR Randall Cobb (hamstring)TE Jimmy Graham (knee/thumb)OLB Clay Matthews (ankle)G Lane Taylor (foot)Full ParticipationOT David Bakhtiari (knee)QB Aaron Rodgers (knee)WR Equanimeous St. Brown (elbow)
