Rams linebacker Bobby Wagner compares past battles with the Packers’ star quarterback to a chess match going into Sunday’s showdown
THOUSAND OAKS — Rams middle linebacker Bobby Wagner doesn’t care how cold it’s going to be in Green Bay for the Monday night matchup against the Packers, it’s always no sleeves for him.The weather forecast for Monday’s kickoff time at Lambeau Field is expected to be minus-20 degrees. If Wagner decides to run onto the field with sleeves, no one will question the All-Pro’s toughness.
It’s been an adjustment for Rodgers this season to play without star receiver Davante Adams, who was traded from Green Bay to the Las Vegas Raiders this past offseason. Rookie Christian Watson has found his footing and the Packers will have a healthy receiving unit for the first time in weeks with the returns of veteran Randall Cobb and rookie Romeo Doubs.
“My mindset is the faster you make the play, the faster you get to the heaters,” Wagner said. “If you’re cold, then make a play, so we can get to the heaters.”Rams star defensive lineman Aaron Donald was ruled out for Monday’s game against the Packers and will miss his third consecutive game because of an ankle injury.
“It’s kinda interesting, though, because I’ve always rushed with Aaron, so we can kinda plan like a normal team now, like figure out where the protection is going to be, all that stuff, so new challenges,” Gaines said. “Everything we used to do was, ‘We’re running this to get Aaron free,’ so now we can just kinda run like normal defense stuff. We don’t have to do all that stuff, just to get one guy free.
