Key Things to Know
  • Lombardi Ave reports the Packers secondary faces a difficult Week 6 matchup against the Cowboys' prolific passing attack.

The Story in 60 Seconds

Lombardi Ave argues that the Green Bay Packers secondary faces a formidable Week 6 challenge against Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott and receivers CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens. The matchup is further complicated by recent injury concerns among Packers cornerbacks, specifically Keisean Nixon and Benjamin St-Juste missing Wednesday's practice.

Writer John Sbisa notes that Green Bay's passing defense previously faced backup quarterbacks and lower-tier starters through the first five games. With Nixon dealing with a groin issue and St-Juste nursing a hamstring injury, Green Bay risks entering the contest against Dallas' fifth-ranked passing attack severely undermanned in the secondary.
