WINNIPEG, Canada -- There were turf concerns ahead of the Green Bay Packers-Oakland Raiders at IG Field in Winnipeg.



Green Bay announced 33 Packers would not suit up, including Aaron Rodgers.









The NFL released the following statement:





The maintenance team at IG Field had to reglue a pad of turf where the Canadian football league goal post normally sits -- which is right in the middle of the NFL endzone.



Both teams, their coaches and general managers walked the field -- and monitored the situation closely. As of about 6:25 p.m., there were still some question as to whether or not the game would be played.



FOX6's Tim Van Vooren reported the maintenance team at IG Field spent about $40,000 to anchor the NFL goal posts at the Winnipeg stadium.
