Packers Injury Report: Keisean Nixon returns to practice
As we wrote earlier today, the Green Bay Packers no longer have the freedom to have players on the 53-man roster miss games with injury without making some sort of corresponding moves to bring in their replacements. Here’s the good news: One player who did not practice on Wednesday, cornerback Keisean Nixon, practiced on Thursday, […]
Josh Jacobs sues to stop video evidence from being released
According to WBAY, Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs is suing the Hobart-Lawrence Police Department, which is in charge of deciding whether or not a video from Jacobs’ garage will be released as part of his battery and criminal damage to property case. Yesterday, it was reported that the police department delayed the release […]
Green Bay Packers News: Bigger challenge awaits Packers’ secondary on Sunday night
The Green Bay Packers’ defense had a marvelous performance in Week 5. The unit recorded nearly as many turnovers (five) as they allowed points in a 31-7 victory over the Chicago Bears. That team, which cycled through backup quarterbacks Tyson Bagent and Case Keenum, had put up 375 yards or more in its two games […]
The Packers have a locker room sledgehammer
In a sentence I’m nearly positive has never been written before: the Green Bay Packers are trying something different with a rotating team sledgehammer. We’ve seen things like AJ Dillon’s positivity rabbit in the Eagles locker room, and Chicago White Sox pitcher Mike Vasil’s magic wand, and now the Packers are getting in on the […]
Packers Injury Report: How will Green Bay use its open roster spots?
For the most part, my injury analysis this season has basically boiled down to “next man up on the 53-man roster.” The Green Bay Packers’ cluster of injuries has mostly hit two units, the offensive and defensive lines — where the team has been over-signed since they made their initial active roster — leaving them […]
Will the Packers earn a playoff spot this year?
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. Playoffs? We’re talking about playoffs? Surely that will be the reactions of some readers who see the question in the headline of this article. But after […]
Packers’ special teams show improvement under Cam Achord
The Packers added two new coordinators this offseason, bringing on Jonathan Gannon as defensive coordinator to replace Jeff Hafley and hiring Cam Achord as special teams coordinator to fill Rich Bisaccia’s spot. Gannon’s unit has largely been solid (though against a slate of subpar quarterbacks), but how have things been on special teams? It’s complicated. […]
Christian Watson and Matthew Golden are eating up a ton of targets
Through five games, Christian Watson and Matthew Golden have been the engines of the Packers’ passing attack. Together, they’ve caught 50 passes for 871 yards and eight touchdowns, averaging 17.42 yards per catch as a duo. They’re truly a dynamic duo, and they’re producing in a way we haven’t seen in more than a decade. […]
Green Bay Packers News: Defense is doing the job so far
Two things are simultaneously true about the Packers’ defense: they really haven’t played a decent quarterback yet this year, and they’re doing about as well as could be expected, given the circumstances. It’s absolutely true the Packers haven’t played any significant quarterbacks this year. They’ve faced backups in three of their five games so far, […]
Packers Film Room: Attacking after an interception
If you watch football for any amount of time, you have no doubt heard the same talking points repeated hundreds of times. Thousands of times. An ocean of times, spreading out over the vast and speckled horizon. Some of those things are good, some of them are bad, and some simply roll off your back […]
Week 6 Packers Power Rankings, NFC Playoff Picture
Let’s take a look at what the national analysts think about the 3-2 Green Bay Packers after their back-to-back wins over the last two weeks, along with a peek at the current NFC standings. Yes, it’s still way too early in the year to start calculating exact playoff scenarios, but it’s worth mentioning how the […]
Josh Jacobs video release is delayed
Yesterday, Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur stated that the team received no updates on the status of running back Josh Jacobs, in terms of the league’s feedback on when he’ll return from his time on the exempt list. Jacobs has spent the entire regular season on the exempt list, where a potential suspension […]
Packers sign CB Elijah Culp, release high-priced UDFA
The Green Bay Packers announced on Tuesday that the team signed cornerback Elijah Culp, whom the team brought in on Monday for a tryout. There’s little info out there about Culp, but here’s what we wrote on him yesterday: Culp is an undrafted rookie who played for four different college programs over six seasons (Austin […]
Jerry Jones is making up stories
I regret to inform you that Jerry Jones is making stuff up. Speaking with 105.3 The Fan (the Cowboys’ flagship radio station) the 84-year-old Jones recently recounted a story of a memorable trip he made to Green Bay. As quoted by The Athletic’s Jon Marchota, Jones and his young grandchildren and an, um, interesting encounter […]
Cowboys will give the Packers defense its biggest test yet
Coming out of week five, the Green Bay Packers’ defense has been a pleasant surprise on the season. Without Micah Parsons for a single snap yet, they rank eighth in EPA allowed per dropback and they rank an outstanding third in ANY/A value, as seen below from Justis Mosqueda. Under the hood, though, things look […]
Packers Film Room: Long snapping on kicks in Week 5
In this space, we look at the snap-to-hold operation on field goals and extra points. After some pretty light weeks, we have 6 to look at this week. If you watched the game you know a lot of these did not have pretty outcomes, but we’re going to slow down the operation and see how […]
Green Bay Packers News: Packers’ passing attack looking terrific
I think a lot of people were pretty bullish on the Packers’ passing offense this year. With Jordan Love entering year four as the Packers’ starting quarterback, Tucker Kraft back from his torn ACL, and Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, and Matthew Golden making up a revamped wide receiver corps, things looked promising. Through five games, […]
Green Bay Packers work out 3 defenders on Monday
The Green Bay Packers generally work out players on their Tuesday “off” day, but the team got an early start this week by bringing in three defenders on Monday: cornerback Miles Battle, cornerback Elijah Culp and defensive lineman Isaiah Iton, per the NFL transaction wire. Miles Battle, CB Battle is a former undrafted player who […]
Packers’ next opponent hires Mike Pettine, former Green Bay coordinator
The struggling Dallas Cowboys have hired former Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Mike Pettine to help right the ship. The Cowboys’ defense is allowing 27.2 points per game this season and has allowed a passer rating of 120.5 against, the worst mark in the NFL through five weeks of NFL action. First-time defensive coordinator Christian […]
Packers have no league updates on Josh Jacobs’ situation
Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur stated on Monday that the team has not received any updates regarding running back Josh Jacobs’ status. Jacobs pleaded no contest to charges of battery and criminal damage to property, stemming from an incident that involved his then-girlfriend. At the moment, the NFL has Jacobs on the commissioner […]

As we do every week in this space, we’re looking at some stats from the Green Bay Packers’ most recent game, courtesy of SumerSports. Today we’re looking at the 31-7 victory over the Chicago Bears in Week 5. Offense Last week we saw a drastic decrease in the Packers usage of 11 personnel (1 RB, […]
Green Bay Packers News: Unlike Bears, Packers won first and talked second
The Chicago Bears talked a big game heading into their Week 5 matchup with the Green Bay Packers. That didn’t exactly work out well for them when the two teams actually played their game on Sunday afternoon. The Packers dropped bomb after bomb on the Bears’ defense as Jordan Love connected with Christian Watson, Matthew […]
Packers Winners and Losers: Week 5 vs. the Bears
Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson said he wanted blowouts, and a blowout is exactly what he got as the Green Bay Packers hosted their division rivals and won in commanding fashion, 31-7. After a ton of well-warranted criticism that the Packers couldn’t hold onto leads, they took complete control of the game on Sunday, […]
Packers Week 5 Snap Counts: Kaleb Johnson slides
The Green Bay Packers beat the Chicago Bears 31-7. It was very enjoyable. We should do this every weekend. Beyond the win, though, let’s look at the Packers’ snap counts to see what is staying the same and what is changing as the season unfolds. For the most part, we know what this squad is, […]
Packers fear Javon Hargrave tore his Achilles
Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur opened up his press conference on Sunday by stating that the win over the Chicago Bears was “bittersweet,” as it didn’t “look good” for defensive lineman Javon Hargrave. Hargrave went down late against the Bears in garbage time and was carted off the field. When asked for more […]
