The Packers Are Finally Healthy and That's Terrifying for the Rest of the NFL
Many NFL head coaches would consider it an early Christmas gift to have a fully healthy team in late November.
Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LeFleur has to be thrilled to see a clean sheet heading into Week 12 against the San Francisco 49ers.
#Packers listed only two players as DNP on Wednesday. TE Jimmy Graham and CB Tramon Williams both received a veteran's day of rest.

Everyone else practiced. In fact, only two guys – WR Davante Adams and FB Danny Vitale – were listed as limited.
Healthy football team
For many NFL contenders, the biggest obstacle isn't stopping the run or putting up points. Often times, it's keeping the important guys healthy. The Packers have dealt with their fair share of injuries, most notably with star WR Davante Adams missing four games.
Now, one of the top contenders in the game has every weapon in the arsenal ahead of a primetime matchup with the San Francisco 49ers, which is the Packers most important game of the season. The winner of this game will be in prime position to secure the top overall seed and a first-round bye.
The Packers have played just one postseason game at Lambeau field since 2015, so this could help them secure home-field advantage throughout.

The offense is clicking, the defense is making plays, and, most importantly, the Pack will be at full strength against the NFC's top team.
