The Green Bay Packers are relatively healthy coming out of their bye week and will take on the floundering Cincinnati Bengals in Week 6.

One advantage the Packers will have is the fact that the defense will get to see Joe Flacco for a second time after they held the quarterback to 142 passing yards with an interception in a Week 3 loss to the Cleveland Browns.

The Bengals traded for Flacco to take over as their starting quarterback after Jake Browning struggled filling in for injured Joe Burrow.

Packers insider Jacob Morley recently named one defender who could stand out against the Bengals, as Devonte Wyatt might miss the game with a knee injury.

“Karl Brooks has been heating up as a pass rusher. If Wyatt is down, and Green Bay can get Cincy into passing situations, he could be due for a big game,” Morley wrote on X.

Brooks had 7.5 sacks and five fumble recoveries in his first two years with Green Bay, playing in all 34 games.

His role has been slightly diminished this season after the team traded for Micah Parsons, but he has made his presence felt even though he doesn’t have the stats to show for it.

The Bengals have allowed 15 sacks in their five games, and with how immobile Flacco is, it’s almost a certainty that Brooks and the rest of the Packers’ front seven will add to that total.
