GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The Green Bay Packers' banged-up offensive line could be without a pair of starters plus another would-be fill in starter for Sunday's game at the Dallas Cowboys. Coach Matt LaFleur ruled out right tackle Zach Tom (oblique) and his likely replacement, rookie Anthony Belton. The Packers also could be without starting left guard Aaron Banks, who did not practice all week after he dropped out at halftime of last Sunday's loss to the Cleveland Browns.

"I've said it a million times to you guys -- I don't think I've obviously said it enough to our team -- the goal is to go 1-0 every week," LaFleur said Monday. "And it pisses me off when we start talking about things outside of the next game. Things that are way down the road. Like, focus on, keep the focus on the present, on the now, and worry about getting better each and every day."

Sunday was a day of frustrating defeats. Every NFL team gets upset about losing, of course, but Week 3 was full of dramatic collapses, bizarre endings and a shocking number of blocked field goal attempts. In a matter of minutes, there was a pair of block-scoop-and-score touchdowns, as Jordan Davis sealed up a comeback win for the Eagles while Will McDonald IV appeared to set one up for the Jets.

Amazon's Echo Dot now comes bundled with miniature NFL helmets. There are 32 different options, one for each NFL team in these limited-edition bundles. And then beyond that, you have your choice of color for the Echo dot itself, coming in either charcoal, glacier white, or deep sea blue. Amazon currently has a sale going on for the NFL Echo Dot bundle, but not for every team.

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Three-time Super Bowl champion Mecole Hardman and former first-round pick Isaiah Simmons were among the players released Tuesday by the Green Bay Packers, sources told ESPN. The Packers took fliers on both Hardman and Simmons this offseason, but neither showed enough in the preseason and training camp to crack the 53-man roster. Green Bay invested little in either player, giving Hardman just a $150,000 signing bonus and Simmons only $167,500.

Nathaniel Hackett has been rehired by the Packers as a consultant/analyst, where he will provide an offensive perspective while working with the defense.
