Packers | Chris Brooks (ankle) 'still out' of practice Thursday Thu Oct 8, 12:57 PM
Packers RB Chris Brooks (ankle) remained out of practice on Thursday. Brooks also did not practice on Wednesday, when head coach Matt LaFleur said he 'will be out today.'
| Footballguys view: Two "DNP" designations to begin the week says that Brooks is on the wrong side of questionable. Marshawn Lloyd should be the lead back for the Packers, and (so long as he doesn't fumble again) Kaleb Johnson will get some work in the backfield as well. |

Packers | Matt LaFleur says Chris Brooks 'will be out today' at practice Wed Oct 7, 12:31 PM
Packers RB Chris Brooks will not practice on Wednesday, head coach Matt LaFleur said. "He'll be out today," LaFleur said of Brooks' injury.
| Footballguys view: Brooks suffered an ankle injury against the Buccaneers on Sunday. The Packers just can't catch a break at the running back position. MarShawn Lloyd and Kaleb Johnson will split time if Brooks can't play. Lloyd should be the starter, but he's mostly been unimpressive this year with a larger opportunity. Johnson showed some explosion last week, although he did have a costly fumble near pay dirt. The Packers rushing attack is a work-in-progress to say the least. |

Packers | Chris Brooks' ankle still being evaluated Mon Oct 5, 04:30 PM
Packers RB Chris Brooks is still having his injured ankle evaluated, head coach Matt LaFleur said on Monday, leaving his status open-ended.
| Footballguys view: This situation is worth watching, as Brooks was out-snapping MarShawn Lloyd and Kaleb Johnson through four weeks before he was hurt against the Buccaneers. If Brooks is out, look for Green Bay to elevate running back Pierre Strong Jr. from the practice squad. |

Packers DE Micah Parsons will not return to practice this week, head coach Matt LaFleur said on Monday.

Packers | Tests confirm Edgerrin Cooper tore his Achilles, season over Mon Oct 5, 01:25 PM
Packers LB Edgerrin Cooper's season is over after further tests confirmed he tore his Achilles in Sunday's 17-14 win over the Buccaneers, according to multiple reports on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Cooper had nine tackles, an interception and a sack before the injury knocked him out, after posting 21 tackles and two sacks in the first three weeks of the season. The Packers' defense is also still waiting for DE Micah Parsons to make his 2026 debut. |

Packers | Edgerrin Cooper carted off with apparent non-contact ankle injury Sun Oct 4, 02:58 PM
Packers LB Edgerrin Cooper was carted off against the Buccaneers on Sunday with what appears to be a non-contact ankle injury. Cooper dropped to the ground awkwardly on a third-down blitz, grabbed his ankle and needed assistance to leave the field. LB Isaiah McDuffie, who backs up both the Mike and Will spots, has been replacing Cooper at Will linebacker. The Packers have not made an announcement on Cooper's injury.

Packers | Tyreek Hill teases comeback, says he's 'ready for some cold weather' Wed Sep 30, 02:26 PM
Free agent WR Tyreek Hill tweeted on Wednesday that he is "ready for some cold weather" after spending the previous four NFL seasons with the Dolphins. The post came around the time the Packers announced WR Jayden Reed (neck) will miss the rest of the season. Hill, 32, suffered a torn ACL and a dislocated knee in Week 4 of last season, and he tweeted on Monday that it's "almost time to get off the couch and get to work."
| Footballguys view: Earlier this month, Hill's agent Drew Rosenhaus said doctors recommended the veteran wide receiver postpone his comeback until "perhaps some time in October." Well, here we are and Hill is putting the word out that he's back up. Now, we'll see if any team wants to bite. He suffered a dislocated knee, torn ACL and LCL, along with other ligament damage in Week 4 last season. Coming back from that serious injury, Hill should have some suitors if he can pass a physical. That means we might be recommending him as a waiver wire addition in the near future. Stay tuned. |

Packers | Jayden Reed to undergo season-ending neck surgery, placed on IR Wed Sep 30, 12:30 PM
Packers WR Jayden Reed will undergo season-ending neck surgery, head coach Matt LaFleur told reporters on Wednesday. Reed was placed on injured reserve Wednesday. Green Bay went through a lengthy process with many evaluations and opinions and took a patient approach before deciding surgery was the best course of action for Reed.
| Footballguys view: Neck injuries are nothing to mess around with, so the Packers are shutting him down for the 2026 season. Reed will have to see if he can make a comeback next season. Without Reed, the Packers will turn to guys like TE Tucker Kraft, WR Christian Watson, and WR Matthew Golden even more in the passing attack. |

Packers | Matt LaFleur says Jayden Reed's neck injury will end his season, not career-ending Wed Sep 30, 12:26 PM
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said on Wednesday that WR Jayden Reed's neck injury will end his season. LaFleur added that the injury is not considered career-ending: "From my understanding, no. But he will be out a significant amount of time." Reed was placed on injured reserve with the neck injury earlier on Wednesday.

Packers | Jordan Love says 'our run game's got to improve' after 17 rushing yards vs. Falcons Fri Sep 25, 09:31 AM
"Our run game's got to improve. When you have a solid pass game and run game balancing each other, that always helps," Love said, adding that it was harder to commit to the run once the Packers fell behind. RB Josh Jacobs remains on the commissioner's exempt list and is likely to be suspended without pay after pleading no contest to misdemeanor charges of battery and criminal damage to property.
| Footballguys view: Packers QB Jordan Love passed for 312 yards while Green Bay's running game managed just 17 yards in Thursday night's loss to the Falcons. RB MarShawn Lloyd and RB Kaleb Johnson each received only four carries, with Lloyd gaining 11 yards and Johnson six. The offensive line didn't do much to help the run game, but the backs themselves were uninspiring. As the Packers wait for more information on Jacobs, don't be surprised to see them look to the trade market for added reinforcements. |

Packers | Reed remains out with neck injury Wed Sep 23, 03:20 AM
Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk reports that Packers WR Jayden Reed was again out of practice on Wednesday, September 23, with a neck injury after being carted off during Sunday's game.
| Footballguys view: Neck injuries are nothing to mess around with. Reed is not practicing, and there's no telling when he will be able to resume practicing. The team's evaluations are ongoing with the hope that Reed can get back at some point this season. |

Packers | OL Zach Bako-Bewele placed on IR Tue Sep 22, 04:55 PM
For the second straight season, the Green Bay Packers have lost right tackle Zach Bako-Bewele for the season due to a torn patellar tendon in his right knee.
| Footballguys view: Bako-Bewele, who was limited most of the offseason while recovering from a surgery he described as a repair to remove some tissue around the patellar tendon, will now undergo a more complex surgery that he expects to sideline him for eight to 10 months. He said the surgery is scheduled for Thursday. The fourth-round pick in 2022 is widely considered the Packers' best offensive lineman. Anthony Belton finished Sunday's game at right tackle and likely will start there again Thursday against the Atlanta Falcons. |
Packers | Jayden Reed still hospitalized with back injury Mon Sep 21, 03:53 PM
Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed remains in New Jersey after being taken to a hospital following an injury in Sunday's overtime win over the Jets. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that doctors determined Reed suffered a back injury and he is expected to return to Green Bay soon. The wideout and medical personnel are still evaluating the best course of treatment moving forward.
| Footballguys view: Reed was placed on a backboard and carted off the field on the second play of the game after catching a four-yard pass from Jordan Love and taking a big hit from Jets linebacker Demario Davis. Reed was ruled out with what the team called a neck injury, and head coach Matt LaFleur said after the game that Reed had movement in all of his extremities. We'll follow up on this in the coming days. |

Packers | Snap counts show Lloyd not getting clear RB1 role as expected Sun Sep 20, 05:12 PM
Yahoo Sports reports that Green Bay Packers RB MarShawn Lloyd is not getting the clear RB1 looks that were expected of him coming into the season.
| Footballguys view: Lloyd scored on a short touchdown reception, but also fumbled in the overtime win over the Jets. Kaleb Johnson was getting more work in Week 2, but he also fumbled. Chris Brooks was the trusted back down the stretch. In other words, there's no Packers back you can trust on Thursday night against the Falcons. |

Packers | Jayden Reed placed on backboard, carted off after hit vs. Jets Sun Sep 20, 01:11 PM
Packers WR Jayden Reed was placed on a backboard and carted off the field in the first quarter of Green Bay's game against the Jets at MetLife Stadium, according to Yahoo Sports. Reed will not return to the game due to the injury.
| Footballguys view: Reed went down on the second play of the game. His 2025 was ruined by multiple injuries, so this is especially disappointing for him. Reed still gave a thumbs up from the backboard on his way off the field to reassure everyone. The Packers #4 receiver Savion Williams is on injured reserve, so this should just concentrate targets even further on Christian Watson and Tucker Kraft. Late summer signing Jonnu Smith could assume some of Reed's vacated short targets and direct handoffs. |

Packers | Kraft held to 2 catches for 15 yards in win over Jets Sun Sep 20, 01:00 PM
Green Bay Packers TE Tucker Kraft caught 2 passes for 15 yards on 3 targets in Sunday's 20-17 win over the New York Jets. He was projected for 9.8 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 2.5.
| Footballguys view: Kraft didn't do much even though Jayden Reed left the game on the first drive. He should be set up for a bounce back game on Thursday against the woeful Falcons defense that just gave up two scores to Darren Waller. |

Packers | More speculation on possible Josh Jacobs suspension Fri Sep 18, 12:08 PM
According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, the NFL's investigation is ongoing, but Josh Jacobs could face a suspension sooner rather than later. Jacobs remains on the commissioner's exempt list. A four-to-six-game suspension could be the range, based on a few people Fowler has talked to in the league, although that's obviously fluid and based on the league's findings.
| Footballguys view: Whether Jacobs' time on the commissioners' exempt list will count as time served remains unknown, but Jacobs will likely return to play at some point this season, potentially much sooner than we expected. The video of the alleged assault has been the smoking gun in this case, and yesterday's court ruling sealed the evidence, meaning that video won't be available to the public. Once Jacobs returns, he's likely a steady RB1, just as he has been his entire career. Until he returns, Chris Brooks and MarShawn Lloyd are both in weekly flex consideration. |

Packers | NFL faces a new obstacle in obtaining Josh Jacobs video Tue Sep 15, 04:51 PM
Attorneys representing the former girlfriend of Josh Jacobs have filed a motion to permanently seal evidence and discovery materials in the criminal case involving the Green Bay Packers running back. Attorneys Rames Jalalpour and Amir Tahmassebi said in a statement that the motion, filed Tuesday, "is consistent with our client's desire to protect her privacy."
| Footballguys view: As ESPN.com's Rob Demovsky reported, a permanent sealing of evidence could prevent the NFL from reviewing the video from the May 23 incident at Jacobs' home that is described in the criminal complaint. According to the complaint, Jacobs threw the woman to the ground and damaged her phone, and there is surveillance video of the portion of the incident that took place in Jacobs' garage. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the league is trying to obtain the video as part of its investigation. Jacobs was placed on the commissioner exempt list on Aug. 30 and cannot play or practice. He could be subject to a suspension once the NFL concludes its investigation. We'll continue to monitor. |

Packers | Tucker Kraft agrees to four-year, $75 million extension Sat Sep 12, 10:59 AM
Green Bay Packers TE Tucker Kraft reached an agreement today with the team on a four-year, $75 million extension worth up to $92 million that includes a $26.5 million signing bonus.
| Footballguys view: Kraft now becomes the highest-paid tight end in the NFL. He's coming back from the ACL injury that cut his 2025 season short in Week 9. Before the injury, Kraft collected 32 receptions, 489 receiving yards, and six touchdowns. Kraft is not on the injury report for Week 1, and he's a mid-range TE1 for Fantasy GMs against the Vikings on Sunday. |

Packers | Extension for Kraft before season unlikely Thu Sep 10, 09:01 PM
Tom Silverstein, from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, reports that the Green Bay Packers and TE Tucker Kraft are unlikely to agree on a contract extension before the season opener.
| Footballguys view: Kraft is coming back from the ACL injury that ended his 2025 season. Once he shows that his health is not an issue (while he should be playing good football), then the team could give Kraft a deal that gives him a huge raise. In the final year of his contract, Kraft has a cap hit of $3.9 million in 2026. |

Packers | Josh Jacobs pleads no contest to misdemeanor charges Thu Sep 10, 01:40 PM
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has resolved the criminal charges that led to him being placed on the NFL's Commissioner Exempt list last month. Jacobs pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges of battery and criminal damage to property in a Wisconsin courtroom on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: The NFL can take their time in this situation, and most expect Jacobs to be handed a suspension at some point. Until then, the Packers are moving forward with a RBBC featuring MarShawn Lloyd as the lead back. |

Packers | Team still unsure about two offensive line starters for Week 1 Tue Sep 8, 03:11 PM
Green Bay offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich said the team is unsure who will start on the offensive line in Week 1 because of injury situations with OG Aaron Banks and OT Zach Bako-Bewele.
| Footballguys view: As USA Today's Zach Kruse notes, the injuries to Banks and Bako-Bewele leave the Packers right where they left off in 2025, with question marks along the offensive line. Banks and Bako-Bewele both missed time throughout training camp, and the Packers may need Anthony Belton to start (or play snaps) at right tackle and rookie Jager Burton to start (or play snaps) at left guard. So much for building continuity to start 2026. And a Week 1 matchup with blitz-happy Vikings DC Brian Flores awaits. |
Packers | Team will use RBBC at first Tue Sep 8, 03:07 PM
Green Bay offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich said the team will employ a running back-by-committee approach "for a little while, just to kind of see where everyone's at." Stenavich added they know what they have in Lloyd but wouldn't say how much they think they can use him right away.
| Footballguys view: "I'm not going to say, X amount of touches or anything like that," Stenavich said of Lloyd, "but we definitely want to get him the ball. He does have explosive ability and playmaking ability." With Josh Jacobs out indefinitely, the running back room consists of Lloyd, Chris Brooks, and Kaleb Johnson. Fantasy investors should default to Lloyd as the lead back here until we have evidence that either Brooks or Johnson is going to push for significant playing time behind him. |

Packers | Josh Jacobs' initial court appearance moved to Sept. 10 Fri Sep 4, 04:05 PM
The initial court appearance for Packers running back Josh Jacobs has been moved from Nov. 17 to Sept. 10, court records show -- although he likely won't appear in court for that hearing. Jacobs, who is currently on the Commissioner Exempt List, faces misdemeanor charges of battery and criminal damage to property for a May 23 incident at a Hobart home with his girlfriend.
| Footballguys view: We can't say for sure what the implications of this change are on Jacobs' status with the NFL, if there are any at all. We should probably expect Jacobs to get at least a six-game suspension, so even if this case gets resolved much earlier than expected, we probably would not see Jacobs until Week 7 or 8. This doesn't significantly change his value for remaining drafts. |

Packers | MarShawn Lloyd ready and eager to carry the load Thu Sep 3, 11:13 AM
The NFL's decision to put running back Josh Jacobs on paid leave has opened a big door for MarShawn Lloyd in Green Bay. Lloyd enters the season as the Packers' No. 1 back, and it's unclear when Jacobs will be back in the picture for the NFC North team, so the 2024 third-round pick will have a chance to make his case for an even longer run in the job. "I'm ready to play as much as they want me to play," Lloyd said. "I'm excited. It's a dream come true playing for the Packers, so however much carries I get, however much they put me in the game, I'm ready to go."
| Footballguys view: Fantasy GMs are excited about Lloyd's upside in the Packers' offense. Jacobs' time on the exempt list has to be seen as indefinite at this time. That means Lloyd is going to get a big opportunity, and if he's finally healthy it could pay off. To begin the regular season, Fantasy GMs should consider Lloyd an RB2 with upside. |

Packers | Josh Jacobs expected to play at some point Tue Sep 1, 09:45 AM
Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs, who was placed on the Commissioner's Exempt list, is expected to play at some point in 2026, according to general manager Brian Gutekunst.
| Footballguys view: Asked if there's a scenario in which the Packers release Jacobs, Gutekunst said, "I think we'll let the process play out before we make any kind of those decisions." The NFL has yet to issue a suspension for Jacobs, who can't practice or play while on the exempt list. Jacobs has an initial hearing on Nov. 17. It's hard to envision him playing before then. MarShawn Lloyd will handle the bulk of the workload in Jacobs' absence. |

Green Bay Packers TE Luke Musgrave (neck) was placed on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list Sunday, Aug. 30.

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. |

Green Bay Packers WR Savion Williams (ankle) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Sunday, Aug. 30, but has been designated to return.

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. |

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 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 | 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. |

| 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. |

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. |
