The Green Bay Packers will be facing the Houston Texans this weekend at home. Green Bay is 4-2 on the year and Houston is 5-1 on the year. This could potentially be a Super Bowl Preview.
However, the Houston Texans will be without Mario Edwards Jr. against the Packers because he was suspended by the NFL for the next four games without pay for violating the NFL’s Substances of Abuse Policy, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Edwards Jr. has been a big part of the Texans defense this season.
