The plane carrying the Green Bay Packers<\/a>‘ players and coaches was delayed by more than five hours before leaving for Phoenix on Saturday in advance of Sunday’s game at the Arizona Cardinals<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Packers use two charter planes, and the one with the players and coaches had an issue, a source told ESPN. A new plane had to be brought to Green Bay from Detroit.<\/p>\n

A source said the staff plane, which typically leaves first, departed on time at 1:15 p.m. CT. The second plane was scheduled to leave at 1:30 p.m. CT.<\/p>\n

It’s likely that the problem with the second plane was discovered too late to get the players and coaches on the first plane.<\/p>\n

The plane carrying the players and coaches finally pushed back from the gate at 7:05 p.m. CT and was scheduled to land at 8:32 p.m. local time in Phoenix. That’s 5 hours and 14 minutes later than it was expected to arrive.<\/p>\n

Kickoff between the Packers and Cardinals is at 1:25 p.m. MT.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rob DemovskyOct 18, 2025, 08:26 PM ET CloseRob Demovsky is an NFL reporter at ESPN and covers the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":223488,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[436],"tags":[49,48,514,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-223487","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-nfl","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223487","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=223487"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223487\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/223488"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=223487"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=223487"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=223487"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
