Former Packers receiver James Jones announces retirement

The last time Seattle faced Green Bay at Lambeau Field, the Seahawks lost 27-17 as 3.5-point underdogs. This year, however, Rodgers has some new toys: Martellus Bennett is the weapon he’s lacked at tight end for years and Lance Kendricks makes for a nice insurance policy for that rare Packers free agent purchase.

“He’s questionable right now, and we’re going to see if we can move him up as we go through the week”, Carroll said, admitting the team has decided who will start at tailback on Sunday, but neglecting to say who.

4 – Interceptions thrown by Wilson in the 2014 NFC title game against Green Bay, a 28-22 Seattle OT win.

Lockett had been listed behind No. 1 wide receiver Doug Baldwin as the kickoff and punt returner on the Seahawks official depth chart released this week.

The team isn’t hurting on the defensive side of the ball either – especially after picking up former Pro Bowl defensive lineman Sheldon Richardson. He had at least a half-sack in 10 different games last season, tied for second in the NFL.

Any lack of continuity from that group could be exploited by Seattle’s new up-tempo attack.

Their last Super Bowl win came in 2011, and led by head coach Mike McCarthy and quarterback Aaron Rodgers, the Packers are one of the favourites to triumph in Super Bowl LII in Minneapolis.

Rookies Montravius Adams (foot) and Kevin King (groin) were both limited participants. If Seattle’s defensive front stifles the run early and often, then Green Bay will have to keep the pace by utilizing the quick pass game. Chancellor, a first-time captain in 2014, was one of Seattle’s four captains a year ago, making 2017 his third campaign with a “C” on his chest. On Wednesday, Seattle defensive end Michael Bennett detailed a harrowing incident after the Floyd Mayweather-Conor McGregor fight in Las Vegas on August 26.

“Grateful to the people I got to know and for my time as a Packer, but excited for the next stop!” And like the Patriots, they’ve wisely surrounded him by weapons that will help him shine. Josh Hill is now the team’s second-string tight end. He’s put up incredible numbers and won a Super Bowl in the 2010 campaign, but at age 33 you have to wonder how much he has left in the tank.
