Trending news and updates about the Packers
I think the Green Bay Packers are better than the Chicago Bears in a vacuum. However, I can’t make myself fully optimistic about the Week 14 game because I keep coming back to the Carolina Panthers. The Panthers REALLY remind me of the Bears, especially on offense, and the Packers really struggled with the Panthers […]

When the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears meet on Sunday, it probably won’t be a flashy contest, but rather a 60-minute ball control battle. As Bill Huber recently outlined, the Packers’ offense is among the most careful in the league when it comes to turnovers, while the Bears’ defense leads the NFL in takeaways. […]

Devonte Wyatt’s season-ending injury is a major blow to the Green Bay Packers. The fourth-year defensive tackle has played 379 snaps on defense this season, contributing 27 total tackles, two pass breakups, and four sacks.

The Green Bay Packers worked out six players on Tuesday, their off day this week, following three moves on their practice squad. The Packers have an open roster spot on their 17-man practice squad right now, but the assumption I’m working with is that the team will attempt to re-sign receiver Will Sheppard, who the […]

Yesterday, the Green Bay Packers announced that receiver Will Sheppard would be waived from the 53-man roster. To get him back on the practice squad, should he clear waivers, the Packers needed to make a corresponding roster move, as their practice squad was full after the re-signing of kicker Lucas Havrisik last week. They made […]

In a pivotal NFC North tilt on Thanksgiving Day, the Detroit Lions fell flat and it could have dire consequences down the stretch. It was sadly more of the same from the Lions: a few splash plays on offense with too many defensive lapses mixed in. Detroit is officially running out of games to turn […]

The Green Bay Packers announced on Friday that the team has re-signed kicker Lucas Havrisik to the team’s practice squad. The Packers waived Havrisik earlier this week to make room for bringing up receiver Will Sheppard to the 53-man roster ahead of the Detroit Lions game on Thanksgiving. Sheppard never played an offensive or special […]

In the fourth quarter of the Green Bay Packers’ Thanksgiving game against the Detroit Lions, on a Micah Parsons sack, Packers defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt went down with an ankle injury. It did not look good. I’m no doctor, but it sure looks like Wyatt’s ankle snapped under the weight of friendly fire from teammate […]

The Green Bay Packers won on Thanksgiving, toppling the Detroit Lions. That doesn’t change their NFC playoff picture placement at all and they remain in sixth, but they are poised to move up this weekend.

Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell is facing a lot of criticism following his team’s 31-24 loss to the Green Bay Packers. In particular, Campbell is under heat for continuing to go for it on fourth down, passing up another field goal late in the game. Additionally, some believe the Lions offense didn’t show enough urgency […]
