Packers vs. Bears, Week 5: Game time, TV channel, odds, & more
The Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears renew the NFL’s oldest and most-played rivalry today when they meet at Lambeau Field. The two teams will play for the 214th time, including regular season and playoffs, with the Packers holding a 109-98-6 lead overall in the series. This week’s game was moved from a 3:25 PM […]
Packers place RB Chris Brooks on injured reserve
The Green Bay Packers announced on Saturday that they have placed running back Chris Brooks, who was leading the backfield in snaps this season until his ankle injury, on the injured reserve. The Packers have already backfilled his position on the team with the addition of Pierre Strong Jr., who was brought up from the […]
Bears at Packers, Week 5: Opponent Preview
The Chicago Bears (3-1) come to Lambeau as a 2.5- to 3-point favorite, the Bears’ first time favored in Green Bay in 20 years. Caleb Williams (Grade 2 hamstring) is listed as questionable, so Tyson Bagent will likely start. Ben Johnson has won with three different quarterbacks this season, and the Bears’ defense has held […]
Packers Film Room: Week 4 Interceptions and a game-clinching pressure
The Green Bay Packers intercepted Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Jalon Daniels two times in week four and we covered one of them briefly in another article. They nearly had a third interception to end the game but it was overturned to incomplete in replay. It’s still worth breaking down and mentioning. Today we’ll go a […]
Packers fans expect a losing record in NFC North games
The Green Bay Packers play their second divisional game this Sunday against the Chicago Bears. After losing to the Minnesota Vikings on the road in week one, Green Bay currently has an 0-1 record in NFC North games, and this week will go a long way to helping determine whether the team will remain in […]
NFL predictions: Packers look for revenge over Bears for playoff loss
The Green Bay Packers have a chance to exorcise some recent demons on Sunday afternoon. In Week 5, they will face the Chicago Bears, their oldest rivals and a team that mounted massive comeback wins in two of the three meetings between the franchises during the 2025 season. The third of those games, of course, […]
Packers Injury Report: 7 given statuses vs. Bears
The Green Bay Packers are officially going to be out running back Chris Brooks (and receiver Savion Williams) against the Chicago Bears on Sunday, according to the Packers’ final injury report of the week. Brooks left Week 4 action with an ankle injury and was a non-participant for all three practices this week. The team […]
The “firsts” of Packers’ top performances against the Bears
Normally I write about the best performances against a particular team in the lead-up to that week’s game. But against an opponent as old as the Bears, I think we should dig a little deeper. The Packers have been playing against the Bears for virtually their entire history and have had great performances throughout that […]
How the Packers defense overwhelmed Jalon Daniels
Last Sunday, the Green Bay Packers defense bounced back after an abysmal performance in week three by tightening up and overwhelming a lifeless Buccaneers offense. They forced two interceptions on backup quarterback Jalon Daniels, making his first NFL start for the injured Baker Mayfield, and held the Bucs offense to 86 non-scrambling rushing yards. The […]
Why Edgerrin Cooper’s absence is a big deal
It’s easy to understand that Green Bay Packers off-ball linebacker Edgerrin Cooper was (and still likely is) a budding star, and an incredibly important player for the Packers. You don’t need any fancy numbers or a scout’s eye to pick him out, he’s the kind of player that just looks different. Even among professional athletes, […]
Green Bay Packers News: Running back committee remains unsettled
Good luck trying to predict which of the Green Bay Packers’ running backs is going to lead the way on any given week at this point. The trio of MarShawn Lloyd, Kaleb Johnson, and Chris Brooks have struggled mightily so far this season, and although each of them had some high points in last Sunday’s […]
Packers sign Pierre Strong Jr. to active roster
The Green Bay Packers announced on Thursday that they have signed running back Pierre Strong Jr. to the active roster, giving them a fourth option if the team can’t play Chris Brooks on Sunday against the Chicago Bears. Brooks left Week 4 with an ankle injury and hasn’t practiced with the team since. In his […]
Packers Injury Report: Jager Burton returns on Thursday
Green Bay Packers offensive lineman Jager Burton, who, according to head coach Matt LaFleur, is dealing with back spasms, went from a non-participant in Wednesday’s practice to a limited participant in Thursday’s practice. Burton is the only player whose status changed today. Players who remain as non-participants are left guard Aaron Banks (knee/toe), running back […]
Green Bay Packers News: Baby steps for Packers run game
The Packers’ offensive line woes this year are well documented, and they tend to lead the public discourse about the team. Rightfully so. Dive just beyond the surface, though, and the true ouroboros becomes more clear. A unique combination of intense pass rushing teams, green linemen, and a startlining lack of schematic understanding has made […]
Packers Injury Report: 4 were non-participants on Wednesday
The Green Bay Packers had four players listed as non-participants on their first injury report of the week: left running back Chris Brooks (ankle), guard Aaron Banks (knee/toe), offensive lineman Jager Burton (back) and offensive lineman Jacob Monk (quadricep). The good news here? If the Packers are out all of those offensive linemen, the team […]
Green Bay Packers sign LB Jack Dingle
The Green Bay Packers worked out five linebackers on Wednesday, after working out two on Tuesday who were not signed by the team. This time around, the batch produced a signing: former Cincinnati linebacker Jack Dingle has joined the Packers’ practice squad. Green Bay no longer had an off-ball linebacker on their practice squad, as […]
The Packers’ running back problems are on full display
In an enjoyable turn of events this past Sunday, the Green Bay Packers’ offensive line was completely fine. Through three games, the Buccaneers ranked fourth in the NFL in opponent rushing success rate, creating what should have been a very steep challenge for the running game. This was of little surprise as for much of […]
Kevin Zeitler takes starting right guard reps for Packers on Wednesday
Last Sunday, Travis Glover did an admirable job filling in as the Green Bay Packers’ right guard in the team’s win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The offensive line as a whole looked more cohesive than it had through the first three weeks of the season with Glover and veteran acquisition Laken Tomlinson as the […]
Packers WR Savion Williams returns to practice Wednesday
One of the two players who the Green Bay Packers placed on injured reserve before the season with a return designation is officially on his way back. On cutdown day in August, the Packers put second-year wide receiver Savion Williams on injured reserve to open up a roster spot; on Wednesday ahead of week five, […]
Packers vs. Bears Week 5 TV Broadcast Map
At the beginning of the 2026 NFL season, the Week 5 matchup between the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears looked set to be one of the biggest regular season games on the schedule. The two teams played three thrilling games in 2025, including a Wild Card matchup that went Chicago’s way after a late […]
Green Bay Packers News: Zaire Franklin takes center stage
You can count me among the people who were initially skeptical of the Zaire Franklin acquisition. Brian Gutekunst seems to have had an over-obsession with linebackers ever since De’Vondre Campbell’s out-of-nowhere All-Pro season in 2021, and his move to add Franklin as a replacement for Quay Walker, then reward him with a reworked contract, seemed […]
Packers Film Room: Random fun moments from a Week 4 win
I know the vast majority of people have already moved past the Green Bay Packers’ Week 4 win over the Buccaneers and are looking forward to Week 5, but I’m not quite ready to do that yet, because there are still fun things to talk about from Week 4. So let’s take a couple minutes […]
Packers work out 4, including former Pro Bowl LB Deion Jones
The Green Bay Packers worked out four players on Tuesday, and there have been no reports that the team has signed these players — at least yet. Currently, the Packers’ 53-man roster and practice squad are filled, after the team moved linebacker Kristian Welch up to the 53-man roster and signed back running back Damon […]
Packers send Edgerrin Cooper to IR, call up Kristian Welch
Once Monday’s medical exams took place, the Green Bay Packers moving linebacker Edgerrin Cooper to injured reserve was only a matter of when, not if, it would take place. The star linebacker tore his Achilles tendon in the Packers’ 17-14 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and as of Tuesday afternoon he has officially gone […]
Packers’ slow pace is another sign of offensive struggles
We’ve been tracking the Packers’ pace of play for a while. I wrote about it a couple of times last year, including this midseason piece, and our Paul Noonan was on the case all the way back in 2020. Generally speaking, under Matt LaFleur the Packers have run a pretty slow-paced offense, snapping the ball […]
