The Green Bay Packers faced a challenging game against the Detroit Lions, losing rookie safety Evan Williams to a concussion in the first half. Williams walked off the field under his own power for evaluation and did not return to the game.

Prior to Williams' injury, the Packers were already missing key players in their secondary, including cornerbacks Jaire Alexander and Corey Ballentine, both sidelined due to knee injuries, along with linebacker Edgerrin Cooper, who was out with a hamstring issue.
