Can Kevin O’Connell overcome Jeff Saturday? If successful, O’Connell will help push his team to an excellent 11th win and its first division title since 2017. That’s an outcome we can all get on board with. Indeed, winning the NFC North is goal #1 for the season, and today’s game could make it a reality.

The players, of course, are most important when it comes to whether a game is won or lost. As a result, I’m offering up this depth chart to give fans a refresher. At times, it differs from the one on the team’s website, so be aware that there are some differences.

Finally, keep in mind that practice squad players aren’t included since this piece only covers the 53-man roster. Players with an injury designation find their names in italics. The team has 5 players included on their injury report leading into the game. Hopefully, they’ll all be able to play.
