The Atlanta Falcons and Green Bay Packers will each look to stay undefeated when they face off in Week 2 this Sunday. While the Falcons are missing linebacker Troy Andersen, the Packers are missing multiple key players.
Running back Aaron Jones and wide receiver Christian Watson missed practice for the second day in a row on Thursday as both players are dealing with hamstring injuries, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
No practice again for today for a second straight day for Packers’ WR Christian Watson and RB Aaron Jones, who are dealing with hamstring injuries.

Jones racked up 127 all-purpose yards in Week 1, while adding two touchdowns in the Packers’ 38-20 win over the Bears. On the other hand, the Falcons appear to be getting healthier the closer we get to Sunday’s game.
Running back Cordarrelle Patterson and cornerback Jeff Okudah returned to practice Wednesday. Patterson seems likely to play, but Okudah’s status is still up in the air.
Stay tuned for the team’s injury report after Thursday’s practice.
