Packers Film Room, Preseason Week 3: Sturdivant goes for 6
The final preseason game is in the books, so I’m working to get into regular season shape by doing what I love doing the most: breaking down plays. It’s never quite as interesting in the preseason because the focus of the offense isn’t on sequencing in the same way we see in the regular season. […]
Packers fans’ reaction to new Rivalries uniforms is decidedly ‘meh’
It has been an eventful seven days for the Green Bay Packers. Looking back at the chaos of the last few days — between the final preseason game and the roster cut deadline on Sunday — it feels a bit bizarre to remember that the Packers released a new slate of alternate uniforms just six […]
Where is the weirdest or most remote place you’ve watched a Packers game?
If you’re a Green Bay Packers fan, you’re a die-hard. That pretty much comes with the territory. As a result, you probably will go to just about any length to watch your team play. I know I certainly have. Over the years, I’ve watched Packers games in some far-flung places. From following the 2021 Divisional […]
Jonathan Gannon’s Packers preseason pressure packages
The 2026 preseason has concluded, but the Green Bay Packers’ three games gave us a glimpse into the mind of Jonathan Gannon as the new defensive coordinator gears up for his first season calling the defense. While Gannon called a mostly vanilla preseason, he did throw a couple of interesting blitz calls out in the […]
Here’s how the Packers’ initial roster compares to previous years
There are only so many ways you can stack a 53 man roster. Despite plenty of handwringing year in and year out from fans and media alike as to what the roster will look like, the Packers’ initial roster every year is configured in more or less the same way. The same way, that is, […]
Green Bay Packers News: Final cuts are in, but the work has only just begun
Brian Gutekunst and the Green Bay Packers’ front office have their work cut out for them on cutdown day. It’s a tough 48 hours or so between the final preseason game and the deadline to trim a roster down to 53 players, and they were plenty busy on Sunday. Gutekunst and company made three trades, […]
Green Bay Packers announce initial 53-man roster of 2026
After much debate, the Green Bay Packers announced their first 53-man roster of the 2026 season after a day full of news. We’ll go position by position, showing you who made the team and the big information of the day. Quarterback Earlier today, the Packers traded third-string quarterback Kyle McCord to the Miami Dolphins for […]
Packers Roster Cut Tracker 2026
Sunday, August 30th is a big day for the NFL this year. In 2026, the league has set the deadline for teams to cut their rosters down from 90 players to 53 for Sunday at 6:00 PM Eastern Time (5:00 Central), an odd time compared to recent deadlines. Recent years have seen the league require […]
Packers trade for Rams TE Mark Redman
The Green Bay Packers have traded for former Los Angeles Rams tight end Mark Redman, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz. Redman, who played at Washington, San Diego State and Louisville at the college level, was signed as an undrafted free agent in 2025. So far, Redman hasn’t been active in an NFL regular-season game. […]
Packers RB Josh Jacobs placed on the NFL’s commissioner exempt list
ESPN’s Adam Schefter is reporting that Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs is being placed on the NFL’s commissioner exempt list, which means that he will not start on the team’s 53-man roster to open the season. At the time, there is no timeframe for a Jacobs suspension following the news earlier this week […]
Green Bay Packers officially win the Zaire Franklin-Colby Wooden trade
Earlier this offseason, the Green Bay Packers traded defensive lineman Colby Wooden, who was going into the final year of his rookie contract, for then-Indianapolis Colts linebacker Zaire Franklin. Since joining the Packers, Franklin has been the team’s starting Mike after Quay Walker signed with the Las Vegas Raiders in free agency, received a new contract and was […]
Packers waive rookie draft pick Domani Jackson
The Green Bay Packers are waiving rookie cornerback Domani Jackson at the cutdown deadline, according to CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz. Jackson, who was taken 201st overall in the draft by the team in April, had a poor performance in Green Bay’s preseason finale against the Arizona Cardinals after looking alright in his Week 2 debut. […]
Packers preseason star Kyle McCord traded to Miami Dolphins
You could argue that no one had a better preseason for the Green Bay Packers than quarterback Kyle McCord, who was able to put up a 102.4 passer rating after completing 46 of 70 passes for 446 yards and four touchdowns. McCord had a fairly quick rise in Green Bay, as he was battling for […]
Packers’ special teams units passed their preseason test
The Packers’ renovated their special teams operation this offseason, and their reworked approach is already paying dividends. Gone is Rich Bisaccia, embattled coordinator of (kind of) underperforming special teams units. Now those phases of the game fall under the purview of Cam Achord, recently of the New York Giants. How are things going so far? […]
Green Bay Packers will have 2nd shot at running back Damon Bankston
If you’re an avid reader of Acme Packing Company, you know that I feel like the Green Bay Packers show their cards a bit when it comes to pre-draft visitors. Since 2022, when the Packers appeared to have changed their visit strategy from almost being used exclusively on undrafted free agent rookie recruiting to more […]
Packers Discussion: Who do you think makes the team?
I know we’re all sort of just refreshing the news right now to see who will get cut and who will be kept by the Green Bay Packers, so I wanted to open a discussion post for us to talk about the roster cutdown generally. Feel free to drop your own 53-man roster prediction in […]
NFL Waiver Rules & Order: Packers sit 20th at cutdown deadline
The NFL’s roster cut deadline is fast approaching, and with it comes one of the more convoluted and hectic days of the league’s schedule. Sunday’s cut-down leads to chaos the following day, when players subject to waivers can either be claimed by new teams or become free agents. At that time, teams will also begin […]
Packers wide receivers make their cases in final preseason game
Earlier in the preseason I suggested the Packers open up their wide receiver competition. I don’t know if the Packers’ brass got the message, but the receivers on the lower end of the roster certainly lived up to their end of the bargain. The third preseason game was a 60 minute wide receiver showcase, with […]
Green Bay Packers Roster: A final 2026 53-man prediction
Alright, here’s my final stab at the Green Bay Packers’ 53-man roster before Sunday’s cutdowns. As a reminder, this prediction is mostly based on the work I’ve done on the Packers’ depth chart, and there weren’t huge changes to the pecking order in Green Bay’s preseason finale — where 37 players sat against the Arizona […]
Packers Preseason Game 3: Some statistical nuggets vs. the Cardinals
“Did you all see that awesome preseason game,” is not something I am in the habit of saying, yet here we are. It was an instant (preseason) classic: a 42-38 barn-burner that saw the Green Bay Packers score twice in the final 3-and-a-half minutes to take home a win. We’re going to try something this […]
Matt LaFleur: Packers ‘fully anticipate’ RB Josh Jacobs to remain on roster
Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur was asked about starting running back Josh Jacobs’ standing with the club, following Thursday’s news that Jacobs was officially being charged with battery and criminal damage to property, after the Packers’ win on Friday against the Arizona Cardinals. He didn’t leave any grey area in his response: “I […]
Packers-Cardinals Preseason Final Score, Recap: Kyle McCord wills Green Bay to victory
The Green Bay Packers won a thriller, if there can ever be one in August, in their preseason finale against the Arizona Cardinals. Mike LaFleur, trying to best his older brother, called two timeouts in the final five seconds of the game, trying to set up a Hail Mary after receiver KiSean Johnson’s second fourth-quarter […]
Packers vs. Cardinals Preseason Game #3 Discussion
The joint practices are over — now it’s time for an actual game. Well, a preseason game, at least. That’s what awaits the Green Bay Packers and Arizona Cardinals tonight at Lambeau Field as the LaFleur brothers’ teams meet in their final games before the start of the regular season. The Packers are 1-1 in […]
Packers fans should be watching Pierre Strong in the preseason finale
Pierre Strong was drafted by the New England Patriots in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL draft after an incredible final season at South Dakota State, when he carried the football 240 times for 1686 yards and 18 touchdowns. In his draft guide, The Beast, Dane Brugler had him as a likely fifth rounder […]
Packers Film Room, Preseason Week 2: Emptying the Notebook on the Offense
During the season, I tend to dig into either specific plays or look at some of the bigger picture takeaways. Scheme and gameplan and blah blah blah. The preseason is different because those things don’t really matter. I’m more concerned with how individual players looked. So I watch a ton of players, taking notes and […]
