Latest news and updates about the Packers
A month ago, Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley said that he bets that defensive end Micah Parsons, who tore his ACL during the 2025 regular season, will break the NFL’s sack record in 2026. Hafley might not be around to see that plan through, though, as he’s been a hot name on the […]

The Green Bay Packers released their final injury report of the week ahead of Saturday’s Wild Card Round matchup against the Chicago Bears, and while Green Bay avoided any surprise outs, there’s enough uncertainty to matter. Up front, the biggest name to watch is right tackle Zach Tom (back/knee). Tom was limited early in the week before being held out of Thursday’s practice and is officially questionable. That’s notable against a Bears front that has leaned more aggressively on pressure ...

After a four-game losing streak to end the regular season, the Green Bay Packers now have their sights on the playoffs, starting with a Wild Card matchup against their bitter rivals, the Chicago Bears.

This week’s Chicago Bears–Green Bay Packers playoff matchup doesn’t need manufactured stakes. For Bears fans, the meaning is baked into the history — and the rarity. The two franchises have met in the postseason only twice. The most recent was the 2011 NFC Championship Game at Soldier Field, a January afternoon that still lingers painfully in Chicago’s memory. Green Bay raced to an early lead, the Bears’ defense clawed them back into it, but the offense never fully recovered after Jay Cut...

The final Bears injury report of this week revealed a whole lot of good news for Chicago’s football team. And it begins with an update regarding wide receiver Rome Odunze, who is off the injury report. Odunze was listed as as full participant in Thursday’s practice and has no designation for Saturday’s playoff game against the Green Bay Packers. In other words, quarterback Caleb Williams’ top target will be ready to rock and roll at Soldier Field. CHECK OUT EPISODE NO. 16 OF THE BN BEARS ...

The Chicago Bears will host the Green Bay Packers on Saturday at Soldier Field in the Wild Card Round. The game is viewed by many — including Prime Video’s bank account — as the game of the week in the NFL’s opening round. Still, one former NFL (backup) quarterback—whose claim to fame is running out of the back of his own end zone — thinks this one won’t live up to the hype, despite their previous two meetings this season coming down to the final play of the game. “I think the Packer...

All year, I’ve had fun tracking what I call the “Hafley Cam” during games. You know it. It’s the shot of Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley up in the crow’s nest during a big defensive moment. On my podcast, I placed a few silly prop bets related to the Hafley Cam. Do we see him […]

Even if I did attend with a Packers fan, I must admit that I truly enjoyed attending a live session of The Athletic Football Show podcast on Wednesday at Lincoln Hall in Chicago. The Bears conversation was fun and enjoyable. Listening to the pod live (and being in attendance) gave me an extra boost going into this week. That show just added a new subscriber. This city is so Bears-crazy right now that it is bleeding into hockey: we aren't. 🐻⬇️ @ChicagoBears https://t.co/tKF0nb7IV3...

When I took over writing the game previews several years ago from Steven Schweickert, I changed his naming convention. This was mostly due to changing SEO standards and boring ol’ search stuff that the powers at be are rightly concerned with. But the old preview naming convention works so well for this week. When it […]
