Despite the uncertainty, Larkin continues to produce, tallying three points (one goal, two assists) in his first six games of the 2026‑27 season while logging nearly 22 minutes per game.

The Green Bay Packers add former Colts practice‑squad receiver Coleman Owen to their 53‑man roster ahead of Week 7 against the Detroit Lions. Owen, who recorded a 16‑yard kickoff return in his Dallas debut, is expected to contribute mainly on special teams and replace injured wideout Skyy Moore, who lands on IR with an ankle sprain. The move follows season‑ending injuries to Jayden Reed (neck) and the recent loss of linebacker Zaire Franklin to a shin injury. Owen brings a productive college résumé—78 catches for 1,245 yards and eight TDs at Ohio.

Talk is cheap. No matter how you look at it. Jayson Tatum wasn't good enough against the Detroit Pistons. Nothing he could have said after the game would have changed that. And social media was set ablaze.
The Packers sit at 4-2 heading into Week 7 against NFC North rival Detroit, but they lose Pro Bowl linebacker Zaire Franklin to a shin injury. Franklin, a 2024 Pro Bowl pick, is out for the Sunday game, adding to a defense already missing Edgerrin Cooper and Javon Hargrave. Green Bay’s unit, eighth in yards allowed (307.7) and tied for tenth in points (20.8), will rely on Isaiah McDuffie and relatively inexperienced Ty’Ron Hopper. Meanwhile, Detroit’s offense ranks fourth in the league (393.8 yards, 32.8 points per game), making the matchup a crucial test for Green Bay’s depleted defense.
The Lions head into Week 7 at Ford Field looking to avenge two early‑season losses to Matt LaFleur’s Packers and prove the 2022‑24 NFC North dominance is still alive. After a 2‑2‑1 post‑bye run, Detroit must tighten its defense, which has allowed 41 points in wins but just 14.3 in losses, and contain Jordan Love’s aerial onslaught. Packers receivers Matthew Golden and Christian Watson account for nearly 75% of Love’s air yards, excelling on deep play‑action against single‑high coverages. Key for Detroit will be keeping two defenders deep and adjusting to Green Bay’s vertical passing attack.

NFL Blue Book analyst Charles Robinson flags the Denver Broncos and Carolina Panthers as the top candidates if the Detroit Lions trade tight end Sam LaPorta before the Nov. 10 deadline. Robinson notes Broncos coach Sean Payton has sought a "high‑impact" TE to boost Bo Nix, while the Panthers are eyeing Bryce Young’s support. LaPorta, 25, is in a contract stalemate after the Lions ended extension talks; he posted 27 catches for 316 yards and three TDs in five games this season and carries a $6.748 M cap hit. Reports suggest Detroit could tag him, but a trade or new deal likely won’t materialize until after the 2026 season.
