Packers Shorthanded: Four Key Starters Out for Must-Win Thanksgiving Clash with Dolphins.

The Green Bay Packers are preparing to face the Miami Dolphins on Thanksgiving without four key players, a game they must win to stay competitive in the NFC North.

Currently on a two-game winning streak, the Packers are determined to secure a victory to keep pace with the Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings.

Green Bay is two games behind the division-leading Lions, who are also playing on Thanksgiving. The Lions’ performance will be closely watched as the Packers aim to maintain their playoff hopes.

The Packers’ injury list could impact their chances, with star cornerback Jaire Alexander, wide receiver Romeo Doubs, and linebackers Edgerrin Cooper and Isaiah McDuffie all potentially sidelined.

If all four are unavailable, the Packers may need to rely on several rookies, which could alter the game’s outcome against a Dolphins team that’s been playing well since Tua Tagovailoa‘s return.

Quarterback Jordan Love continues to have an unpredictable season, with 18 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel praised Love’s growth, noting how he’s developed his own style while also drawing influence from Aaron Rodgers.
