Packers Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

A capsule look at reasons for concern among teams in the NFC North: Chicago Bears 1. Offensive line. Poor line play could prevent coordinator Mike Martz's offense from taking hold.

It took two years and five days, but finally Todd Haley and Kansas City have beaten somebody in the preseason.
