Trey Smack is a Big Deal
A lot of people made fun of the Green Bay Packers for drafting a kicker, but there are two immutable facts about kickers. You can acquire a kicker like any other player via free agency, or as a UDFA, or through the draft. Free agency will require paying the kicker a lot of money for […]
Packers elevate 2 from practice squad for Week 1 vs. Vikings
The Green Bay Packers have announced that they’ve elevated two players, receiver Bo Melton and linebacker Kristian Welch, from the practice squad going into their Week 1 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. The Melton move was expected, but the addition of Welch from the practice squad also means that it’s likely that linebacker Ty’Ron Hopper, […]
Remembering a Random Game: The Minnesota Vikings
The Green Bay Packers are set to open the season against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday for the 132nd matchup in the history of the storied rivalry. I’m going to try something fun this season and look back on a random game every week by picking a number between 1 and however many times the […]
Packers sign Tucker Kraft to 4-year contract extension on eve of season opener
The Green Bay Packers wanted a deal done. Tucker Kraft wanted a deal done. And so, just ahead of the start of the 2026 NFL regular season, a deal is indeed done, and it appears to be a great deal for both sides. Tucker Kraft is now under contract with the Packers through the 2030 […]
Packers release WR Bo Melton, intend to retain him on practice squad
Just over 48 hours ahead of their season opener, the Green Bay Packers have made a mildly shocking roster move. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Packers are releasing wide receiver Bo Melton on Friday. Melton has been a mainstay of the Packers’ special teams units for the past two-plus years and has remained […]
Packers Key to Victory: Chuck it deep
Week 1 is weird for a variety of reasons. Teams change so much throughout the offseason – additions, subtractions, hiring, firings, turn turn turn – so looking at numbers/film from the previous season won’t always shed light on the current season. That being said, I was combing through some stats over at NFL Pro and […]
Packers list Bako-Bewele & Banks as questionable against Vikings
The Green Bay Packers do appear to have game-time decisions on their hands with a pair of their starting offensive linemen. On Friday’s formal injury report for the team’s season opener against the Minnesota Vikings, the Packers have given both left guard Aaron Banks and right tackle Zach Bako-Bewele the questionable status. Bako-Bewele has been […]
Jordan Love is the least-sacked active NFL quarterback
While looking through the Green Bay Packers’ 2025 stats to get ready for the start of the 2026 season, something interesting caught my eye. I noticed that in his 15 games last season, Packers quarterback Jordan Love was sacked merely 21 times, a sack rate of just 4.57%. That seemed pretty darn low to me, […]
Packers got help from long-time OL coach Harry Hiestand in camp
The Packers’ offensive line got some additional help from a long-time college and pro offensive line coach. According to reporting from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s Tom Silverstein, Harry Hiestand spent training camp with the Packers in what appeared to be a consultant-style role. Hiestand is about as decorated as an offensive line coach can be, […]
Green Bay Packers News: Vikings will provide an excellent early test
The Minnesota Vikings are generally not expected to be a front-runner in the race for an NFC North title this season. They have the worst odds to win the division of any of the four teams, and there are questions up and down their roster. However, for a Green Bay Packers team looking to get […]
Packers Injury Report: Jordan Morgan’s status changes
Green Bay Packers defensive lineman Warren Brinson (calf) and linebacker Ty’Ron Hopper (Achilles) remain out of practice for the second straight day, according to the Packers’ injury report, but the good news is that things are trending upward for left tackle Jordan Morgan (knee). Morgan, who was a limited participant on Wednesday, was listed as […]
Packers Week 1 Preview: Why the Vikings are dangerous
The Minnesota Vikings went 9-8 last season despite the worst regular quarterback play I’ve ever seen. Something called Max Brosmer started a game against the Detroit Lions wherein he completed nine passes for 51 yards while taking seven sacks for 48 yards, and still somehow his team won the game. The Vikings managed to pull […]
Josh Jacobs pleads no contest to battery and criminal damage charges
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs recently had his initial hearing in his court case, after being charged with battery and criminal damage, pushed forward by two months. Today, Jacobs showed up in person to plead no contest to both misdemeanor charges. Currently, Jacobs is on the NFL’s commissioner exempt list, where he will […]
Green Bay Packers News: Packers face real test in Week 1
While I think the Packers should win, they come into Week 1 facing an interesting test. If nothing else, the Vikings should represent a sort of ruthless competency. They don’t have any outright stars on defense, but they’ve got a madman running the show in Brian Flores and he’ll do anything at any moment. They’ll […]
ESPN gives an update on a Tucker Kraft extension
Jeremy Fowler dropped a long Week 1 buzz article for ESPN on Thursday morning, and it included some nuggets on where the Green Bay Packers and tight end Tucker Kraft stand on an extension. In the past, general manager Brian Gutekunst stated that he wanted a Kraft deal done going into the regular season, but […]
Chris Brooks could decide the Packers’ Week 1 matchup against Minnesota
One of the more underrated matchups going into the Green Bay Packers’ regular-season opener against the Minnesota Vikings, at least to me, is how running back Chris Brooks will do against defensive coordinator Brian Flores’ blitz-heavy front. The Packers have said that they will be trying out a running back-by-committee approach early on in the […]
The Packers’ defense was the opposite of the Seahawks last season
Here’s an interesting stat that I saw last night during the NFL regular-season opener, when the Seattle Seahawks were able to take down the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl rematch. According to Sümer Sports, the 2025 Seahawks played five defensive backs 81 percent of the time when opposing offenses played two or fewer […]
Packers Injury Report: Updates on the offensive line
There were only two non-participants for the Green Bay Packers during their Wednesday practice: defensive lineman Warren Brinson (calf) and linebacker Ty’Ron Hopper (Achilles). Brinson’s injury stems from a pre-game issue he had going into Week 2 of the preseason, while Hopper’s injury appears to be a new issue. Even if Brinson and Hopper both […]
Packers Salary Cap: Jonnu Smith contract details released
The contract for new Green Bay Packers tight end Jonnu Smith has finally been released, more than a week after he signed with the team. We previously knew it was a one-year deal, but that’s all the information we had. According to ESPN’s Rob Demovsky, Smith received a signing bonus of $350,000 to sign with […]
New stats from Pro Football Reference highlight legendary Packers players
Pro Football Reference has just rolled out some stats from the earliest years of the National Football League. In a blog post, PFR announced that courtesy of a donation from legendary sports researcher David Neft, they’re now able to offer fairly reliable stats from the 1920-1931 seasons (and 1932, in some cases). That means we’re […]
Green Bay Packers News: Running backs ready for committee approach
The Packers’ season will probably not hinge on the strength of their running backs, which is a good thing, because I’m not sure anybody really knows what the Packers have at running back. And that includes the Packers, who are currently without the services of Josh Jacobs (and likely will remain so for the foreseeable […]
Packers vs. Vikings Week 1 TV broadcast map shows wide coverage
When the Green Bay Packers open up the 2026 season against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, they will do so with the eyes of most of the pro football world upon them. Sunday’s kickoff will take place at 3:25 PM Central time, and the vast majority of the United States will get to see the […]
Green Bay Packers drop Week 1 depth chart: 6 takeaways
The Green Bay Packers updated their depth chart on Tuesday, the first time that they’ve done so going into the 2026 regular season. For the most part, it looks accurate, based on our charting of preseason and training camp rotations, but there were a few things that stood out to me — so I want […]
Every Former Packer the Team Will See in the 2026 Season
Last offseason, I ranked the former Green Bay Packers the team would face in the upcoming season based on how much it was gonna hurt to play against them. I specifically ranked them based on pure emotion mixed with how much the Packers could use them at that time. This season, there are a handful […]

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Packers fans and fans across the country.
