Despite locking up the NFC's #1 seed with their win on Sunday night over Minnesota, Packers HC Matt LaFleur said Monday that he plans to play his staters vs. the Lions this weekend. "Right now the mindset is we're going to play our guys, and we're going to approach it like any other game," LaFleur said.

We'll look for further updates on Rodgers, WR Davante Adams and RBs Aaron Jones and A.J. Dillon.
