Packers | Luke Musgrave placed on PUP list Mon Aug 31, 12:20 AM
Green Bay Packers TE Luke Musgrave (neck) was placed on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list Sunday, Aug. 30.
| Footballguys view: Musgrave has been working through a neck injury that dates back to mandatory minicamp in early June. He opened training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list. There hasn't been much news on him since his designation, but he'll have to miss at least four games. With the addition of Jonnu Smith, who signed with the team last week, the Packers are prepared to cover for Musgrave's absence. |

Packers | Savion Williams heads to IR Mon Aug 31, 12:17 AM
Green Bay Packers WR Savion Williams (ankle) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Sunday, Aug. 30, but has been designated to return.
| Footballguys view: Williams suffered an ankle injury in the Packers' second preseason game against the Denver Broncos. He will now miss at least the first four weeks of the regular season, as the team will ease him back in. With Christian Watson, Matthew Golden, and Jayden Reed locked into the top three spots, Williams isn't expected to have a significant role upon return. |

Link to story Packers | Kaleb Johnson joining Packers Sun Aug 30, 03:17 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers RB Kaleb Johnson was acquired by the Green Bay Packers Sunday, Aug. 30, in exchange for a 2028 sixth-round draft choice, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Johnson will be the #3 back after the Packers released Damien Martinez and Pierre Strong and Josh Jacobs was placed on the commissioner's exempt list, putting him out for indefinite period of time. The team must trust MarShawn Lloyd to have him go into the season as the #1 back with only a passing down specialist in Chris Brooks and nearly complete unknown in Johnson on the roster. |
Packers | MarShawn Lloyd expected to be RB1 Sun Aug 30, 02:42 PM
Green Bay Packers RB MarShawn Lloyd is expected to serve as the starting running back to open the season, with RB Josh Jacobs on the commissioner exempt list. The team also just traded for RB Kaleb Johnson for depth at the position.
Link to story Packers | Josh Jacobs placed on Commissioner Exempt List Sun Aug 30, 02:33 PM
Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs is being placed on the commissioner exempt list on Sunday, Aug. 30, according to sources. Last week, Jacobs was charged with battery and criminal damage to property, both misdemeanors, by a district attorney in Wisconsin. He was originally arrested in late May on five counts, including one felony. Jacobs will not be available for the start of the NFL season, and it remains how long he'll be on the shelf.
| Footballguys view: Jacobs court date is in mid-November, so if that is the measure of how long he will be out, he is barely worth drafting, and not ahead of someone like Jordyn Tyson, who will also be out for some unknown number of weeks, but offers instant fantasy value when he does return. It's possible Jacobs has played his last down with the Packers. MarShawn Lloyd moves up to the 6th round or so and could be a massive hit for fantasy if he can stay healthy. He hasn't in his first two season, but Lloyd visited the Meyer Institute of Sport this offseason and they showed him how changes to how he moved after his ACL tear in college were causing the cascading injuries. Chris Brooks will be the backup and play some passing downs, and new acquisition Kaleb Johnson will be the third string back. |

Green Bay Packers WR Isaiah Neyor has been waived Sunday, Aug. 30, according to a source.
Link to story Packers | Kyle McCord dealt to Miami Sun Aug 30, 11:45 AM
Green Bay Packers QB Kyle McCord was traded to the Miami Dolphins Sunday, Aug. 30, in exchange for a 2028 sixth-round draft pick, according to multiple sources.
| Footballguys view: McCord played very well (with Jordan Love even calling plays) in the final preseason game. The Packers don't need him with Tyrod Taylor backing up Jordan Love, and the Dolphins saw an opportunity to recoup some draft capital by trading Quinn Ewers to the Jaguars, who had soured on Nick Mullens as their backup quarterback. If Malik Willis misses time, McCord could start after going undrafted in 2025 out of Syracuse (after spending three years at Ohio State). |
Packers | Josh Jacobs not being released Fri Aug 28, 12:08 AM
Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs will not be released by the team following two misdemeanor charges being filed against him on Thursday, Aug. 27, per ESPN's Rob Demovsky.
| Footballguys view: This is at least the absence of the worst news for Jacobs fantasy stock, but it's not reassuring. He is practicing after missing time this summer because of a groin injury. MarShawn Lloyd has stayed healthy and looked like more than a backup and the offensive line is a work in progress, so Jacobs is still a questionable pick in the fourth round. |

Packers | Luke Musgrave unlikely to be ready Thu Aug 27, 07:44 PM

Packers | Josh Jacobs formally charged Thu Aug 27, 03:35 PM
Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs has been formally charged with two misdemeanors related to his May arrest. The NFL has been monitoring all developments in the matter, which remains under review, according to Tom Pelissero.
| Footballguys view: The NFL could end up suspending Jacobs once their investigation is concluded. That means Fantasy GMs need to consider Marshawn Lloyd late in drafts. Jacobs has a current ADP of RB16 (5.01) in 12-team PPR leagues. Lloyd is a talented back who has flashed during training camp and the preseason. If he stays healthy (a problem so far in Lloyd's pro career), he could be the lead back for the Packers if/when Jacobs has to miss time. |

Packers | Tucker Kraft enjoys contact Thu Aug 27, 09:51 AM
Green Bay Packers TE Tucker Kraft (knee) said he enjoyed that hard hits he took during the joint practice Wednesday, Aug. 26. 'I needed some contact like that to wake up the nervous system and get ready for Week 1,' Kraft said.
| Footballguys view: Kraft is coming back from the knee injury that cut his 2025 season short, and taking that contact is just part of the process. He's admitted the team is likely to use him on a snap count for perhaps the first half of the regular season. Keep Kraft on your waiver wire speed dial as he can be a TE1 for Fantasy GMs when he's up to full speed. |

Green Bay Packers TE Tucker Kraft (knee) will participate in the joint practice Wednesday, Aug. 26.
| Footballguys view: Good news for the Packers here. Kraft is going to get eased back into action, beginning with joint practice participation. Earlier this offseason, Kraft said the team will "probably" keep him on a snap count until halfway through the 2026 season. This means Fantasy GMs may have to wait for him as an option. Keep him on your waiver wire speed dial as he can post TE1 numbers when healthy. |

Packers | Josh Jacobs returns to full participation Tue Aug 25, 12:59 AM
Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs (groin) took part in 11-on-11 work for the first time since injuring his groin on Aug. 6. He had previously returned last week in a limited capacity.
| Footballguys view: According to CBSSports.com, although Jacobs hasn't practiced fully in more than two weeks while he's been managing the groin injury, the Packers haven't indicated that his availability for the start of the regular season is in any jeopardy. Even if Jacobs upgrades to full practice participation within the next few days, the Packers still could elect to hold him out of Friday's preseason finale versus the Cardinals as a precaution. |

Packers | Josh Jacobs back at practice Tue Aug 18, 10:48 AM
Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs (groin) will return to practice Tuesday, Aug. 18.
| Footballguys view: Jacobs had been sidelined by a groin injury, and the expectation was he would return to work this week. Last season, Jacobs rushed for 929 yards and 13 touchdowns in 15 games. he also caught 36 passes for 282 yards with a TD. Jacobs is being drafted as RB17 at the end of Round 3. It's a fair price if the veteran back is working at full speed in advance of Week 1. |

Packers | Tucker Kraft back on practice field Sun Aug 16, 02:17 PM
Green Bay Packers TE Tucker Kraft (knee) was back on offense during team reps practice Sunday, Aug. 16, and he had a touchdown reception from QB Jordan Love. He had his first on-field catches of training camp after offseason surgery. He remains on track to be ready for the regular season.
| Footballguys view: Kraft indicated that the would "take into account his rep range" until halfway through the season and then "pat him on his -censored- and send him to the wolves". Considering that he was the TE1 in PPR leagues when he went down with a torn ACL last year, his 6th/7th round ADP more than takes into account the ramp up time he will need to be his old self, but this is confirmation that the team doesn't see him as truly full go to begin the season. |

Packers | One grab for Jayden Reed Fri Aug 14, 11:20 AM
Green Bay Packers WR Jayden Reed caught one of his two targets for 19 yards in the preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers Thursday, Aug. 13.
| Footballguys view: Reed's role did not grow to include two wide receiver sets in the offense's first action since Romeo Doubs left to sign in New England. That was Matthew Golden's spot. But Reed still ran as many routes as Golden and Christian Watson and got the most targets and catches. |

Packers | Jordan Love playing in preseason opener is 'current plan' Tue Aug 11, 04:44 PM
Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love playing in the Packers' preseason opener against the Steelers is the current plan, according to HC Matt LaFleur on Tuesday, Aug. 11.
| Footballguys view: Love played the preseason opener in each of the last three seasons, so it's no real surprise the team will take the same approach this summer. LaFleur noted that he reserves the right to change his mind, but he also noted why he likes "getting your process down" ahead of the regular season. The Packers will be in Pittsburgh on Thursday, and they'll be back on the road against the Broncos for their second preseason game. Their only home game of the summer will be on August 28 against the Cardinals. |

Packers | Josh Jacobs to miss at least another week Tue Aug 11, 01:24 PM
Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs (groin) will miss 'at least' another week of practice, according to head coach Matt LaFleur.
| Footballguys view: Jacobs dealt with numerous injuries last season, finishing with 929 yards rushing and 13 touchdowns in 15 games (all starts). He also had 36 receptions for 282 yards and a score. MarShawn Lloyd has been a bright spot in training camp, LaFleur said, and is likely to work with the No. 1 offense in the preseason opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday. We'll have more on Jacobs as further details come to light. |

Packers | Matthew Golden back at practice Tue Aug 11, 01:21 PM
Green Bay Packers WR Matthew Golden (toe) returned to practice on Tuesday, Aug. 11.
| Footballguys view: While there were big expectations for Golden in his rookie year, he didn't get as many targets as expected. In 2025, Golden had 29 receptions for 361 yards. As Packers Talk suggested, this year there is more hope for Golden. The former first-round pick has already entrenched himself as one of the three starting WRs. He worked with the first team upon return Tuesday. Most likely, Golden will start as one of the Packers' outside receivers. He's being drafted as WR48. There's room for upside there. |
