Packers will be playing without defensive lineman Kingsley Keke, who had a pair of two-sack games during regular season. Keke hadn’t practiced this week as he recovers from a concussion that also prevented him from playing in Packers’ regular-season finale — a 35-16 victory at Chicago.
Green Bay’s or inactive players are quarterback Jordan Love, cornerbacks Ka’Dar Hollman and Josh Jackson, outside linebacker Jonathan Garvin and tight end Jace Sternberger.
