The Jacksonville Jaguards could be without both starting quarterback Blaine Gabbert and running back Maurice Jones-Drew when they visit the Green Bay Packers this Sunday at Lambeau Field. Gabbert and Jones-Drew both left the game with injuries in last week's loss to the Oakland Raiders.

After a slow start to the season, the Green Bay Packers' offense appears to have turned things around, averaging 31.75 points per game over its last four games after averaging just 19 PPG over its first three.
