The Dairyland Express staff works diligently to bring you the best Green Bay Packers’ coverage every week. To save you some time of scouring the internet trying to find all the information you need for this Week 4 contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers, I’ve compiled it all into one nice article for you.

The Packers are hosting the Steelers at Lambeau Field today with kickoff coming at 3:25 pm central time. The game is being broadcasted on CBS and Tony Romo–one of the best analysts in the game–will be in the booth.

Green Bay enters with a 2-1 record, winning two straight after dropping their season-opener in embarrassing fashion. They appear to have found their groove, but now have some key injuries to deal with as well.

All-Pro outside linebacker Za’Darius Smith will be out indefinitely after he got back surgery this week. (Should the Packers consider adding a veteran at the position?) He hasn’t played since Week 1 and only played sparingly then. He’s been battling this back issue all season and he could miss the entire year.

The Packers will need their backups to step up all over the field. Kevin King is listed as doubtful and Krys Barnes and Jack Heflin are questionable. Eric Stokes started in King’s absence last week and appears to have all the talent necessary to be a legit cornerback in the NFL. He might not ever give that starting job back.

With the Green Bay Packers taking on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 4, here’s everything you need to know about the game in just five minutes.

Green Bay is also dealing with injuries on the other side of the ball. Marquez Valdes-Scantling, their only true deep threat, was placed on the injured reserve this week and he’ll miss at least three games. However, Green Bay is missing much more than just a deep threat with Valdes-Scantling out. Elgton Jenkins is also doubtful and could miss his second straight game.

Meanwhile, Pittsburgh has ruled out offensive linemen Chukwuma Okorafor and Rashaad Coward, and defensive lineman Carlos Davis. Wide receiver Chase Claypool is also questionable with a hamstring injury and didn’t participate in practice on Friday.
