While Jared Veldheer was primed to start at left tackle for the Packers after being picked up from the Colts’ practice squad, he has now tested positive for COVID and will sit out the divisional round. There is the possibility that he could return for the NFC Championship, but it would be a close call with the 10-day window. The Packers will likely have to reshuffle the line again, with G/T Billy Turner protecting the blindside. This could cause problems on the interior as they face Aaron Donald and the Rams.
