Green Bay Downs Detroit, 35-17

The Green Bay Packers downed the Detroit Lions 35-17 at home Monday night, as Detroit blew a 17-14 halftime lead, not scoring at all in the second half.

It was standout night for Packers running back Aaron Jones, who caught three of quarterback Aaron Rodgers' four touchdown passes and rushed for a fourth TD.

Rodgers, meanwhile, was 22 of 27 for 255 yards, passing John Elway for 10th all-time in passing yards with 51,633.

 

Taylor Day-To-Day After Hamstring Injury

Houston Texans head coach David Culley said Monday that quarterback Tyrod Taylor is day-to-day after suffering a hamstring injury Sunday.

However, the ‘Houston Chronicle’ reported that Taylor could be out for four weeks. Culley said Deshaun Watson won’t be activated, meaning third-round pick Davis Mills would be in line to start Thursday against the Carolina Panthers if Taylor can’t play. 

 

Colts' QB Uncertain For Week 3

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Carson Wentz is uncertain for Week 3 after he sprained both ankles in Sunday’s loss to the L.A. Rams.

The Colts knew Wentz had injured his right ankle, which led him to leave in the fourth quarter, but doctors found out Monday he’d sprained his left ankle too.
Head coach Frank Reich said, “My history with Carson is that he’s a pretty fast healer and he’s tough. If he can play, he’ll play.”
