Packers | Savion Williams unable to practice Fri Aug 29, 02:00 PM
Green Bay Packers WR Savion Williams (hamstring) did not participate in practice Thursday, Aug. 28.
Footballguys view: Dontayvion Wicks (calf) and Jayden Reed (foot) just returned to practice this week so the Packers will be a bit precarious with only Matthew Golden, Romeo Doubs, and Malik Heath fully healthy for the season opener against the Lions. Tucker Kraft could play a larger role and Luke Musgrave could be on the field a lot in two tight end sets after having a good summer. |
Updating a previous report, Dallas Cowboys DE Micah Parsons was acquired by the Green Bay Packers Thursday, Aug. 28, in exchange for DT Kenny Clark and two first-round draft choices.
Footballguys view: This deal is a blockbuster, and you might categorize it as a win-win for both parties involved. The Packers get a superstar pass rusher in a championship window. The Cowboys get a haul for Parsons in return. The Packers' first-round picks may be late, especially if they win it all in the next two years. Clark gives the Cowboys a veteran run-stuffer in the middle of the line. |
Micah Parsons player page
Dallas Cowboys DE Micah Parsons is being acquired by the Green Bay Packers and has agreed to terms on a four-year contract with the Packers worth $188 million. The team will include $136 million in guaranteed money. It is not known what the Cowboys will receive in return.
Footballguys view: Per Adam Schefter, this signing and makes Parsons the highest-paid non-QB in NFL history. It's a move that clearly shows the Packers are going all in on a championship run in 2025. Parsons is one of the best defenders in the league and can get after the passer with the best of them. |

Green Bay Packers WR Dontayvion Wicks (calf) returned to practice and was in pads on Thursday, Aug. 28.
Footballguys view: Good news for Wicks here. He suffered a calf injury early in August, and Wicks had to miss practice time because of it. With Jayden Reed (foot) banged up, the Packers need all the help they can get at the position. Wicks will compete for time as the no.3 or no.4 wide receiver option. |

Green Bay Packers WR Jayden Reed (foot) was wearing pads at practice on Thursday, Aug. 28.
Footballguys view: Our Adam Hutchinson has this to say about Reed: Per Jason Wilde of ESPN Wisconsin, Reed is playing through a Jones fracture, a notoriously difficult injury to manage because of the slow healing timeline associated with the injury. Typically, this injury requires a minimum 10-week recovery timeline. Unfortunately, the Packers have not been forthcoming with details. We do not know when Reed's injury originally occurred, making it hard to assess his true recovery window. The first public indication came on August 9, when Reed was sighted in a walking boot. If the fracture began around that time, the earliest safe return would likely be after Green Bay's Week 6 bye. It sounds like Reed is ignoring medical advice and trying to play through the injury. With so much uncertainty and the inherent risks of this injury, drafting Reed at his current ADP of 104 overall feels aggressive. I would recommend avoiding him in drafts or exercising caution when selecting him. |

Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love (thumb) was back at practice and wearing pads on Thursday, Aug. 28. It was his first padded practice since he underwent surgery to repair a torn ligament in his thumb on Aug. 12.
Footballguys view: It's good news for the Packers as expected. Love suffered this injury to his non-throwing hand, and now he should be good to go. |

Free-agent RB Israel Abanikanda (Packers), WR Mecole Hardman (Packers), WR Isaiah Neyor (Packers) and WR Will Sheppard (Packers) were signed to the Green Bay Packers practice squad Wednesday, Aug. 27.
Footballguys view: The Packers have quite the collection of talent at the receiver position, both on the active roster and the practice squad. Sheppard is a player who can stand out with speed and ball-tracking ability on deep shots. |

Green Bay Packers RB MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) is a candidate to start the regular season on the Reserve/Injured list, but the team has not made a final decision.
Footballguys view: Lloyd, who was expected to back up running back Josh Jacobs, missed all but one game of his rookie season last year because of injuries and an illness. His string of bad luck continues this year. We'll follow up as needed while reminding you Emmanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks are next men up behind Jacobs. |

The Green Bay Packers are acquiring OG Darian Kinnard from the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for a sixth-round pick in the 2027 NFL Draft.
Link to storyGreen Bay Packers WR Matthew Golden caught one pass for 39 yards during the preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks Saturday, Aug. 23.
Footballguys view: Golden is set to open the season as one of the top targets in the Packers pass offense in his NFL debut. The reports on his play have been unanimously positive, and he should be drafted as a WR3/Flex with upside in redraft leagues. |
Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love (thumb) said he will be ready to play in Week 1.
Footballguys view: Love should be ready for Week 1, but we can't be as sure about Jayden Reed, who has been battling a foot injury. Dontayvion Wicks also has been nursing a calf injury. The Lions defense is up in the season opener and they might have a rusty Love without his full complement of receivers. |

Green Bay Packers WR Romeo Doubs will be on the team's 53-man roster, despite rumors that he would be cut before the season opener, according to head coach Matt LaFleur.
Footballguys view: Doubs is a player who can make plays for the Packers and your fantasy team. Consider him a flex play in the Packers offense which spreads things around the field. |
Green Bay Packers WR Jayden Reed (foot) did not participate in practice Thursday, Aug. 21, and is still walking around with a slight limp.
Footballguys view: Reed hasn't practiced since July 31. He has at least shed his walking boot last week and he's catching passes after practice, but it's reasonable to think that he might not be himself in the early season games. He also carries a risk of reinjury or diminished ability if he has to nurse the injury all season. First round pick Matthew Golden has had a great summer, and he should be the first Packer receiver taken in redraft leagues. |

Green Bay Packers RB Jalen White (undisclosed) was waived from the Reserve/Injured list Thursday, Aug. 21, after the two sides reached an injury settlement.
Link to storyGreen Bay Packers DE Barryn Sorrell (knee) sustained a sprained knee against the Indianapolis Colts in the team's second preseason game. Sorrell does not believe he'll be out more than a few weeks, and it's unclear if he'll end up on the Reserve/Injured list.
Link to storyGreen Bay Packers QB Jordan Love (thumb) likely will be a very limited participant during the joint practice with the Seattle Seahawks Thursday, Aug. 21, according to head coach Matt LaFleur.
Footballguys view: Love returned to practice on Monday after undergoing a procedure to repair a ligament in his left thumb last week. He was able to participate in limited aspects of the day's session, including 7-on-7 drills. With LaFleur planning to limit him in joint practices, backup Malik Willis will handle the bulk of the snaps there, and he's also "more than likely" to play significant snaps in the preseason game, some of which will be with the starters. Love is expected to be ready when the Packers host the Lions to open the regular season on Sept. 7. |

Green Bay Packers WR Romeo Doubs (back) is participating in practice Monday, Aug. 18.
Footballguys view: Doubs missed nearly a week of practice after suffering an apparent back injury due to a collision last Tuesday. Getting him back on the field in at least a limited capacity is a positive, especially with Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, and Dontayvion Wicks already dinged up in one way or another. Over his first three seasons in the NFL, Doubs has accumulated 1,700 receiving yards on 147 receptions with 15 touchdowns to his name. With a 16th-round price, Doubs offers a nice floor for those who took risks earlier in their drafts. |
Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love (thumb) returned to practice Monday, Aug. 18.
Footballguys view: Love had surgery to repair a torn ligament in his left thumb last week. The plan is to use 7-on-7 drills to get him throwing this week. The 7-on-7 work will allow Love to get time with his teammates without causing undue risk to his recovery from the surgery. The Packers will have a joint practice with the Seahawks on Thursday. They'll play their final preseason game on Saturday. Love is not expected to take part in either of those events, but the team expects him back to full speed well ahead of their Week 1 game against the Lions. |

"More importantly, he'll be ready for Week 1, and that's the most important thing," said Packers general manager Brian Gutenkunst. The GM says he doesn't expect this injury to be a long-term issue. |
