Three #Packers wide receivers missed practice on Wednesday


Three  wide receivers missed practice on Wednesday  
Of the 10 players listed on Green Bay's injury report Wednesday, three days before its NFC divisional round playoff game at the 49ers, three were wide receivers, and a fourth was a tight end.
