Vince Biegel and Demetri Goodson are getting closer to making their return to the Green Bay Packers.

On Monday, Packers defensive coordinator Dom Capers spoke to the media and he said Biegel and Goodson will likely start practice this week. Both players have been on the physically unable to perform list.

The Packers will begin their lives without Aaron Rodgers on Sunday when they face the New Orleans Saints. Make sure you’re in the loop – take five seconds to Sign up for our FREE Packers newsletter now!

Biegel had surgery on his foot back in May and has been inactive ever since. It's an injury he originally suffered last year when he was attending the University of Wisconsin. Goodson suffered a knee injury in Week 11 last year and was placed on injured reserve the following week.

Having those two back will give the Packers a boost, especially with Aaron Rodgers likely out for the season with a broken collarbone and Quinten Rollins being placed on injured reserve due to an ankle injury. Odds are Biegel and Goodson won't play on Sunday vs. the Saints, but if they do start practicing this week, we could see both players when the Packers take on the Detroit Lions on November 6.
