Woodson will see his name on the facade at Lambeau, while the line will hope to avoid seeing the names on the backs of Rams pass rushers’ jerseys on Sunday.
It will be a great day for one Green Bay Packers legend on Sunday, regardless of the result of the team’s contest against the Los Angeles Rams. Charles Woodson was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame this summer, and with that comes a special honor from the Packers. That honor will take place this Sunday, so read on for more information.
In Sunday’s game, however, the Packers’ offensive line is likely to have a much less pleasant time. Facing a healthy Aaron Donald is no easy task when your line is at full strength, but the group is now missing three starters in David Bakhtiari, Josh Myers, and Elgton Jenkins. With the makeshift line having held up well enough against the Vikings, they will need to find a way to do so once again on Sunday.
Donald is of course the headliner on the Rams’ front, but Leonard Floyd is having a nice season and is actually leading the team in sacks with 7.5. That’s more than he had in any of his four seasons with the Bears, and he is on pace to eclipse his career-high of 10.5 from last year. That should put more pressure on young Yosh Nijman to help keep him contained, only adding to the strain on the line.
