Their involvement, along with doubs’ continued progress, appears to have eased Rodgers’ typical edge, giving Green Bay a more balanced passing attack as the team eyes a stronger finish down the stretch. The trio’s presence could sharpen the team’s plans with three weeks remaining in the regular season.
