GREEN BAY, Wis. — Jordan Love's first-ever start at Lambeau Field got a little tougher before kickoff Sunday. Three key players on the Green Bay Packers' offense were declared inactive before the home opener against the New Orleans Saints: running back Aaron Jones, wide receiver Christian Watson and left tackle David Bakhtiari.
In addition, left guard Elgton Jenkins had previously been ruled out. The Packers' defense will be short-handed as well, with No.
1 cornerback Jaire Alexander out. Alexander was added to the injury report Friday because of a back injury and had been listed as questionable.
Jones, Watson and Bakhtiari were listed as questionable heading into the game. Jones hasn't played since his hamstring injury in the season opener, while Watson hasn't played this season because of the same ailment.
