- Team doctors are awaiting results from today's tests and monitoring how Zach Tom responds to treatment, while Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said `A short week is always tough.`

- With only one practice scheduled for Tuesday, the SportsLine projection model favors the Packers with a 64% chance to cover the spread and a 53% chance for the Over to hit.
