Next up: Packers vs. Panthers | Oct 29 on Prime Network Via @packers on X

What happened: The Green Bay Packers and Carolina Panthers issued their initial Week 8 injury reports on Monday as they prepare for Thursday night's Prime Network broadcast on a short turnaround. Green Bay also signed offensive lineman Mekhi Becton Sr. to its active roster earlier this week ahead of the contest.

Carolina Panthers season leaders through Week 7 — Panthers leaders through Week 7 (6 games): Bryce Young 1,712 passing yards; Chuba Hubbard 459 rushing yards; Tetairoa McMillan 511 receiving yards. Graphic: wire.report

Why it matters: Both clubs enter Thursday night holding NFC playoff positioning while looking to snap one-game losing streaks after dropping their Oct. 25 outings. A victory keeps the winner ahead of the conference wild-card chase entering November.

By the numbers: Green Bay carries a 4-3 record (No. 7 seed, L1 streak) following a 20-17 road loss to the Detroit Lions on Oct. 25. Carolina sits at 3-3 (No. 4 seed, L1 streak) after falling 43-13 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the same day.

What to watch: Both teams will release their final Week 8 injury designations on Wednesday ahead of Thursday's kickoff.
