Having our DBs healthy would be great. It allows us to use Bell as a LB next to Wilson and have Allen next to Bates deep. Also getting Awuzie back and Waynes with a game under his belt also helps vs Rodgers. Kareem looked good before the injury in pre-season, a pass rush boost would be welcome.
And for guys coming off major injuries to the legs: Burrow and Uzomah seem to be getting friskier. Hopefully Hopkins can be added to that as well.
And we do have extra time to prepare for the Packers.
I know the back half of the schedule is BRUTAL, but the next 4 is: Green Bay, at Detroit, Ravens, at Jets. Road games vs. lesser teams (though the Lions have looked better than the Jets) and home games vs better teams. If we can go 3-1 in the next 4 and get to 6-2, I may start to believe. Need 2-2 minimum.
