In an update before Sunday's game, the Indianapolis Colts received some positive news regarding their defensive lineup. Defensive tackle DeForest Buckner and defensive end Kwity Paye, who were both listed as questionable, have been deemed fit to play for the Colts. However, the Colts will be without their starting safety Julian Blackmon due to an injury.

On the other side of the field, the Green Bay Packers have made some changes to their healthy scratch list. Defensive end Brenton Cox Jr. and rookie tackle Travis Glover will sit out for the second consecutive week. In contrast, receiver Malik Heath, defensive end Arron Mosby, and tackle Kadeem Telfort, who were inactive during Week 1 against the Eagles, will be active for this game.

Joining the list of healthy scratches for the Packers are rookie safety Kitan Oladapo, tackle Andre Dillard, and defensive tackle Colby Wooden, despite their participation in the previous week's matchup.

These updated choices by both teams demonstrate the significance placed on maintaining a strong and well-rested roster. The inclusion of Buckner and Paye will undoubtedly bolster the Colts' defense, ensuring a formidable presence on the field. Meanwhile, the Packers' strategic changes in the healthy scratch list showcase their intention to provide opportunities for different players, while still maintaining the strength of their lineup.

The absence of key players, like Blackmon and Colts receiver Josh Downs with an ankle injury, will require the respective teams to rely on their depth charts and make necessary adjustments to their game plans. This puts the spotlight on the backups and their ability to step up in crucial moments.

As the game kicks off, fans eagerly await the outcome, curious to see how the changes in player availability will impact the overall performance of the Colts and the Packers.
