Green Bay visits New England at Gillette Stadium on Sunday, November 8, at 4:25 p.m. EST on FOX. Both teams are 5–3. The Packers most recently beat Carolina 27–19; the Patriots beat Miami 24–19.
Reported facts: the quarterback is not the whole availability report
Jordan Love and Drake Maye are the expected starting quarterbacks. ESPN’s pregame totals list Love with 2,246 passing yards and sixteen touchdowns, and Maye with 1,983 yards and fifteen touchdowns.
New England’s Friday report lists A.J. Brown and TreVeyon Henderson out. Hunter Henry, Mack Hollins and Morgan Moses are among its questionable players. Maye practiced fully with a right-shoulder listing and received no game-status designation.
Green Bay rules out Micah Parsons, Zaire Franklin, Travis Glover, Sean Rhyan and Josh Whyle. MarShawn Lloyd, Chris Brooks and Keisean Nixon are questionable. A questionable designation is not a confirmed absence; final active rosters and starting combinations remain pregame checks.
ISR analysis: map the replacement jobs separately
Brown’s receiving role and Henderson’s backfield work cannot be replaced by one generic injury adjustment. Watch which Patriot receives the first targets, who protects on passing downs and how the available group responds when its first option is covered.
Green Bay’s missing center and defensive personnel create different questions on opposite sides of the ball. Keep line communication beside Love’s passing decisions. On defense, inspect the source of pressure and who must compensate in coverage rather than assuming the same rush will appear without Parsons.
The matching records explain the game’s competitive interest. They do not make the teams interchangeable or establish identical opponent paths. Compare the actual combinations and the distances each offense faces after first down.
Factors to watch
- New England’s receiving and tight-end availability.
- Green Bay’s center and protection combinations.
- The final backfield rotation for both teams.
- Pressure that changes a drive, not just a recorded hurry.
