Dinged Up Green Bay Packers Stars Miss Practice Again Thursday

The number of injuries of significance already across the National Football League are a cause for concern. The Green Bay Packers are certainly battling a rough streak of their own.

Young star wideout Christian Watson already missed the opener to the season last week with a hamstring concern, and now is in jeopardy of missing this weekend's game in Atlanta as well.

And he isn't the only Packer that is in danger of missing the game.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN on Twitter, Aaron Jones' status for Sunday in Atlanta is also in question:

Jones was his usual self in week 1, helping lead the Packer offense to 31 total points in the 38-20 win.

Also on the injury watch is 2nd-year Linebacker Quay Walker. Walker reportedly suffered a concussion during the win last Sunday, and is also listed as questionable.

Here's the latest there:

That's good news. But the Packers will already face a stiff test of back-to-back road contests, and could be shorthanded in a hurry.

Green Bay takes on the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, a 12:00 noon central time kickoff.

Ten Most Disappointing Minnesota Sports Seasons

The 2021 Minnesota Twins entered the season with high expectations, but unfortunately, they've made the list of most disappointing Minnesota teams of all time.

Disappointment is a common feeling for Minnesota sports fans as the years continue. Following the NBA Championship win for Milwaukee, SportsCenter was quick to point out that Minnesota has the current longest streak of seasons without a championship appearance in the four major sports (MLB/NBA/NFL/NHL). The Minnesota Lynx also chimed in on the stat after claiming four championships since 2011.

The ten teams that are on this list all follow a similar pattern. The year prior was either a great season with a playoff run or one that featured a strong core of players that appeared to have taken the next step. Offseason/preseason expectations were high with even Las Vegas oddsmakers believing in a deep run. Unfortunately, those preseason expectations fell short for the following teams. None of the teams listed below made the playoffs.
