The team’s plane, which carries the staff, reportedly left on time at 2:15 p.m. Eastern, with the second plane being set to take off at 2:30 p.m. Eastern, ESPN reported.

Issues concerning the second plane were likely uncovered after it was possible for the players and coaches to board in the first place, according to ESPN.

The second plane finally left the tarmac at 8:05 p.m. Eastern and was expected to land at 10:32 p.m. in Phoenix, 5 hours and 14 minutes later than it was originally scheduled to arrive.

Sunday’s game between Green Bay and the Cardinals is set for 4:25 p.m. Eastern.

Green Bay, who currently sits atop of the NFC North with a 3-1-1 record, currently has several question marks for Sunday’s game, including three-time Pro Bowler Josh Jacobs.

Jacobs, 27, remains listed as questionable (illness) with a source labeling it as a “true game-time decision,” ESPN reported.

The 2019 first round selection fully participated in team activities on Friday, but was previously battling an illness during the Packers’ 27-18 Week 6 win over the Bengals, where he had two rushing touchdowns.

“I just kind of woke up this morning just not feeling my best,” Jacobs told reporters following the win. “But I told ’em, ‘The last time that I felt that way, I had 130 [yards] and two touchdowns.’ So, it is what it is.”

“I was miked up, so I don’t know if they’re going to put that in there or not,” Jacobs added. “But it was a couple times I was on the field, I was like coughing, everybody like, ‘Man, are you all right?’ I’m like, ‘We’ll figure it out.’”
