The Packers have prepped through the duration of the past week for their third encounter with the Titans in the last eight years.

While the coaching and training staff aim to gradually work the roster back to full health with several key players returning to practice today, the opposition is dealing with their own injury problems.

Running back DeMarco Murray didn't practice Wednesday with a foot injury and his reinforcement in Heisman Trophy winner Derrick Henry was held out as well with a calf impairment. So far, good news for a defensive line that currently ranks first in the league in rush defense. The Packers' front seven has allowed an average of 75.8 yards per game through the first half of the season. Despite another rookie rushing threat in Ezekiel Elliott stomping his reckless path all over the defense, Green Bay's average is still well below the 107.0 league average.

These upcoming days will be vital in knowing whether or not Murray and Henry will be at Tennessee head coach Mike Mularkey's disposal on Sunday. The Titans will practice on Friday and by tomorrow evening, more details  of availability will emerge.

Murray, who has made a name for himself against the Packers in recent years by posting up an average of 128.5 yards in his two games against Green Bay, poses the most intimidating threat of the duo. The Packers will also have to account for second-year quarterback Marcus Mariota, who currently ranks second amongst active quarterbacks in rushing yards with 235. A number that looms noticeably over Henry's 221, however, Henry may just pose as the more dynamic threat of the two. (The Packers have handled mobile quarterbacks well this year, despite Andrew Luck and Dak Prescott being the only two real elusive ones they've faced. Prescott didn't have to run the ball very much, as the Cowboys' passing attack was in full swing, but when he did, a measly six yards was the result. As for Luck, his seven attempts weren't enough to get things going in the Packers' recent loss, only amounting 15 yards.)

Henry didn't see many targets in the passing game at Alabama, especially not when he was being handed the ball 395 times in just his junior year alone. When he was a formidable receiving threat, he made the most of his 11 receptions as a junior and put up 91. Even better yet, as a sophomore, managed 133 yards on just five catches, averaging 26.6 yards per each.

The most productive Alabama running back since the Packers' own Eddie Lacy was produced from the school is coming off a game where he recorded his highest catch total of the season. A diminutive four receptions on five targets. It was also in this game against the Jaguars that he saw a workload of 16 carries, also his highest on the year. If Murray and Henry can suit up for Sunday, the Packers will have a three-headed rushing attack to do their best to contain.

In 2016, the Packers' worst results in halting the opponent's run game has come from the left end where they've allowed an average of 4.67 yards per carry - their highest mean of all possible run directions. A worrisome stat when the Titans' most run production comes off of that lane. Hitting the hole at the left end of the offensive line has netted the Titans' offense 281 rushing yards this season, 7.39 yards per carry. If they do their homework right, they just might be targeting this weak side of the Packers' defensive line.

Green Bay's front seven will likely be without Clay Matthews, who has been a non-participant in practice all week. As a result, the odds are slim that his no. 52 will be sported come Sunday.
