Packers HC Matt LaFleur 'non-committal' on WR Allen Lazard's Week 1 status

The Green Bay Packers open up their 2022 regular season against one of their NFC North division rivals on Sunday in the Minnesota Vikings.

On paper, the Vikings boast one of the better wide receiving corps in the NFL, with Justin Jefferson, Adam Thielen, K.J. Osborn and the newly acquired Jalen Reagor leading the way. The Packers, meanwhile, feature a mix of relatively underwhelming veteran choices like Randall Cobb and Sammy Watkins and youngsters like Romeo Doubs, Samori Toure and Christian Watson.

At the top of the depth chart though is Allen Lazard, who set career highs in targets (60), receptions (40), receiving yards (513) and receiving touchdowns (8) during the 2021 season.

With Week 1 less than a week away, Green Bay head coach Matt LaFleur has given fans a possible cause for concern regarding Lazard, per the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Tom Silverstein.
