With Clay Matthews and Julius Peppers facing possible but unlikely consequences for the Al-Jazeera America report, can the Packers find comfort in depth?
USA Today reports that the league will be in Green Bay to discuss the allegations raised in the Al-Jazeera America report linking them to performance enhancers and other drugs.
Even though Julius Peppers has hinted at retirement, every indication is that both Julius Peppers and the Green Bay Packers are planning on being partners once again for the 2016 season.
When the outside linebacker group for the Green Bay Packers took to the field for practice on Saturday only 4 of the 9 players were healthy enough to participate. The Packers are very cautious with even the most minor of injuries at this time of year but to have so many players sitting out at one position is worrisome.
There is a lot to like about the 13-year Green Bay Packers veteran Julius Peppers. And the production that both he and Reggie White recorded at the same age while sporting a Packers uniform is quite impressive.
In our best-case scenario, Julius Peppers is named to the Pro Bowl in his first season in Green Bay, but in our worst-case scenario, Nick Perry barely receives any playing time.
The Packers could stand an upgrade over A.J. Hawk and Brad Jones at inside linebacker, and they just might have done so with the addition of Julius Peppers.
