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 […]
Predict the Green Bay Packers’ final win total in 2026
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. Week 1 of the NFL season brings optimism and excitement for fan bases all across the league. (Well, except for the Browns, perhaps.) But how shall […]
The Packers’ Week 1 X-factor is the health of Zach Bako-Bewele
The Green Bay Packers coaching staff has been non-committal about right tackle Zach Bako-Bewele’s availability for Sunday’s game for a couple of weeks now. Bako-Bewele himself was confident he’d be ready for Week 1, but you’ve definitely heard more convincing statements of confidence than this one: Offensive coordinator and former offensive line coach Adam Stenovich […]
Packers sign RB Damon Bankston
Sports Illustrated’s Bill Huber is reporting that the Green Bay Packers have signed rookie running back Damon Bankston, filling their final vacancy on the team’s practice squad. Bankston was brought into Green Bay initially as a pre-draft visitor, but he ended up signing with the New York Giants as an undrafted free agent for $115,000 […]
Let’s Remember Some Guys, Packers UDFA edition
It’s never a bad time to Remember Some Guys. This morning, I was listening to a podcast that referenced the original “Let’s Remember Some Guys” post from Deadspin, published by Tom Ley in May 2015. That post, which was exclusively a list of 16 running back guys from around the NFL in the 2000s, had […]
Green Bay Packers News: Time for Packers stars to shine
We’re a day away from football. Tomorrow night, in Australia for some reason, the 2026 NFL season officially begins. Packers fans have to wait until Sunday for our first taste of the action, but it’s coming, and soon. And after weeks of training camp, it’s time to recalibrate expectations for what really matters on the […]
Green Bay Roster: Breaking down the new Packers for 2026 and their roles
As of now, the Green Bay Packers have 15 new players on their 53-man roster who weren’t a part of the team in 2025. Today, we’re going to break down every single one of these new players and what their expected roles on the team are, in case you missed any of the new from […]
Green Bay Packers name team captains for 2026
The Green Bay Packers have named captains in several different ways under head coach Matt LaFleur, but it appears that they’ll be rolling with a season-long set of five captains in 2026, based on the team’s announcement on Monday. In the past, the team has also rotated captains on a game-by-game basis, as we all […]
Tucker Kraft named NFL’s #3 player on an expiring contract
If you can believe it, there are already people looking toward the 2027 NFL free-agent cycle. Greg Rosenthal of NFL.com posted an article this week laying out the top 25 possible free agents for next year’s free-agent class heading into the 2026 regular season. Coming third on the list is the Green Bay Packers’ Tucker […]
Packers Depth Chart: We still don’t know who will start at cornerback
Last week, we went through an exercise where we tried to pin down which 48 players among the Green Bay Packers’ 53-man roster would actually make the cut for being game-day actives against the Minnesota Vikings in the team’s Week 1 regular-season opener. Today, I want to focus less on the back end of the […]
Packers Preview: Get ready for Edgerrin Cooper playing on the edge
One of the biggest changes you’re going to notice about new defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon’s scheme is his Penny package, which is essentially a 3-4 defense on the line of scrimmage with one true off-ball linebacker, split safeties and another deeper safety in the middle of the field. Green Bay Packers fans are familiar with […]
Vikings sign S Harrison Smith ahead of Week 1 matchup with Packers
According to NFL Network/ESPN’s Mike Garafolo, the Minnesota Vikings have signed safety Harrison Smith to a one-year, $12.25 million contract going into this week’s matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Smith had previously played for the Vikings, earning All-Pro honors in 2017 and 2018, before being released by Minnesota at the start of the new […]
