Breaking News: WR Allen Lazard Doubtful for Week 8
Wide receiver Allen Lazard is doubtful for the Green Bay Packers' Week 8 matchup against the Buffalo Bills, per NFL Network. Lazard is dealing with an ankle injury that he suffered in the Packers' Week 7 loss to the Washington Commanders.
Lazard has been a key part of the Packers' offense this season, leading the team in receiving yards (433) and touchdowns (4). His absence would be a major blow to the Packers' passing attack, which has already been struggling this season.
The Packers are already without wide receiver Davante Adams, who was traded to the Las Vegas Raiders in the offseason. Lazard's injury leaves the Packers with a depleted receiving corps, which could make it difficult for them to score points against the Bills' tough defense.
The Packers are currently 3-4 on the season and are in danger of missing the playoffs for the first time since 2018. Lazard's injury could further hurt their chances of making the postseason.
What does this mean for the Packers?Lazard's injury is a major setback for the Packers' offense. He is one of the team's most reliable receivers and his absence will be felt. The Packers will need to find a way to replace his production if they want to remain competitive this season.
What are the Packers' options at wide receiver?The Packers have a few options at wide receiver to replace Lazard. Randall Cobb is the most experienced receiver on the team and he will likely see an increased role in the offense. Sammy Watkins is another option, and he has shown flashes of brilliance in the past. The Packers could also promote Romeo Doubs from the practice squad. Doubs is a rookie, but he has impressed the coaching staff in training camp.
What is the impact of Lazard's injury on the Packers' playoff chances?Lazard's injury is a significant blow to the Packers' playoff chances. He is one of the team's best players and his absence will make it difficult for them to score points. The Packers are already 3-4 on the season and they can't afford to fall any further behind. Lazard's injury could be the difference between making the playoffs and missing them.
