Green Bay Packers

Special teams depth is the quiet tell of a team that expects close games. The Packers answered by signing LS Scott Daly and K Lenny Krieg to the practice squad on Sept. 2.

## Josh Jacobs' court date moved to Sept. 10, three days before Packers' opener Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs will make his first court appearance on misdemeanor charges Sept.
