The Green bay Packers‘ travel plans to arizona were significantly disrupted Saturday, as the team’s flight carrying players and coaches experienced a delay of over five hours. The team is scheduled to play the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.
the delay stemmed from a mechanical issue with the Packers’ charter plane, requiring a replacement aircraft to be flown in from Detroit, according to a source.While a staff plane departed Green Bay on time at 1:15 p.m.CT, the flight for players and coaches didn’t leave until 7:05 p.m.CT – a departure more than five hours behind schedule. This disruption impacts the team’s planning time ahead of their game against the Cardinals and necessitates adjustments to their routine before sunday’s 1:25 p.m. MT kickoff.
The delayed flight was originally expected to land in Phoenix at 8:32 p.m. local time.Rob Demovsky of ESPN reports he has covered the Packers as 1997 and joined ESPN in 2013, and is a two-time Wisconsin Sportswriter of the Year.
