But in a positive twist, one of Aaron Rodgers' best weapons, Allen Lazard, was cleared to play in Week 3 vs. the Buccaneers. Lazard missed Week 1 with an ankle injury but returned to action the following week, tallying two catches for 13 yards and a touchdown reception.

He could be very busy on Sunday against the Buccaneers, depending on what occurs with the rest of Rodgers' wideouts. Packers head coach Matt LaFleur did hint at a bigger Week 3 role for rookie receiver Romeo Doubs, who flashed his skills this summer at training camp.

On the other side of the matchup, the Buccaneers are dealing with a similar problem, as wide receiver Mike Evans is suspended, Chris Godwin has been ruled out and each of Julio Jones, Russell Gage and Breshad Perriman are questionable for the contest.

Both teams could be leaning on their running games this week.
