NFL players are now suing to have the option for NCAA eligibility
Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports reported earlier today that there are current NFL players who are looking to be granted an extra year of college football eligibility. If you haven’t been following the news at the college level, the NCAA has granted a five-year eligibility agreement to close some of the loopholes that allowed players […]
Packers Training Camp Recap: Cornerback and offensive line competitions are a full go
Today marked the final practice the Green Bay Packers have before their travel day tomorrow, as they’ll play the Denver Broncos on Friday. Per head coach Matt LaFleur yesterday, the plan is for starters to play two drives against the Broncos, which is expected to be their last preseason opportunity. In Week 3, the Packers […]
For better or worse, Keisean Nixon is central to Packers DB plans
Keisean Nixon is going to be a big part of the Packers’ defense in 2026. Whether you view that as a promise or a threat is up to you, but it’s true either way. Nixon, for all his foibles and follies in training camp this year, is essentially a load-bearing piece of the Packers’ secondary. […]
Green Bay Packers News: Aaron Banks’ return raises stakes in OL battle
It’s not at all a stretch to say Aaron Banks has been a disappointment as a free agent signing. The $77 million man was active in 11-on-11 drills for the first time in this year’s training camp on Tuesday, but he has ground to make up. 2026 draft pick Jager Burton and Jacob Monk have […]
What kind of run game do the Packers actually want?
The Green Bay Packers seem to be in a state of continual flux on the offensive line lately. Last season, the team appeared to be moving in the direction of a bigger, power-focused line, but the summer of 2026 suggests that the rubber band is snapping back a bit in favor of a more athletic […]
Packers Film Room, Preseason Week 1: Nyjalik Kelly
The Green Bay Packers have played their first preseason game and have their second one coming up. Before that second game hits, we’re going to try to hit a handful of these mini film rooms and look and individual players. Today, we’re looking at Nyjalik Kelly. Kelly signed with the Packers this spring as an […]
How did Jacob Monk and Jager Burton play in the Packers’ preseason opener? Decide for yourselves
There are a lot of strong feelings right now about what the Green Bay Packers should be doing at the guard position in 2026, since it seemed like the running game got better down the stretch when Aaron Banks got healthy, and Anthony Belton was inserted into the lineup. While Belton has his protection flaws, […]
Josh Jacobs suspension still on the table but uncertain following May arrest
It has been nearly three months since Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs was arrested on charges of felony strangulation and several other misdemeanors related to domestic abuse. That’s also just about how long it’s been since we last had an update from the team, the league, or law enforcement officials. Jacobs has said via […]
Packers claim edge rusher Arden Walker, fill roster
Several days after the Green Bay Packers opened up a roster spot by waiving quarterback Kyron Drones, the team finally filled the position today by claiming pass-rusher Arden Walker off waivers. Walker, an undrafted rookie, was waived by the Minnesota Vikings — who also run a 3-4 defense — after the team replaced Walker with […]
Packers Training Camp Recap: Cornerback competition ramps up
Obviously, cornerback Keisean Nixon generated some buzz on Sunday after he told the press that he guesses he’s “being punished right now” by working occasionally with the second-team defense, and stayed on the field with both the first- and second-team defenses throughout the Green Bay Packers’ preseason opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Head coach Matt […]
Green Bay Packers News: What does the Packers’ future look like?
As the Packers head toward the end of training camp, let’s spare a thought for the future of the team. What will they look like in 2027 and beyond? Assuming Tucker Kraft’s extension is as done of a deal as everyone seems to think, pretty much every player of consequence is already locked in for […]
It’s time for the Packers to let Jordan Love rip it
After years of maintaining a balanced offensive attack, it’s time for the Green Bay Packers and Matt LaFleur’s offensive staff to let Jordan Love air it out in 2026. Over the last two seasons, the Packers have operated one of the more run-focused offenses in football. Last season, they ranked fifth in the NFL with […]
Which Packers players could play surprisingly big roles in 2026?
Every year, NFL teams need to rely on unheralded depth players to fill in at big moments. Sometimes, these players need to step up all season long due to early injuries — just think about the 2010 Packers going running back-by-committee, seeing Desmond Bishop take over a starting linebacker spot, or getting 8 starts and […]
Packers Film Room, Preseason Week 1: Jordan Love
The Packers lost to the Steelers in their first preseason by the score of something-to-something. It’s preseason. The final score does not matter. There are two main things I truly care about when it comes to preseason:1. Were there any injuries?2. How did the players look on an individual basis? Point 2 is a little […]
Will Trey Smack be the Packers’ long-term kicking answer?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Packers fans and fans across the country. It was a tumultuous spring for Trey Smack, and the Green Bay Packers’ rookie kicker had his share of issues early in training camp as well. […]
Green Bay Packers News: Kraft returns, Nixon pouts, secondary makes plays
The Green Bay Packers got back to work over the weekend, holding a pair of practices following their preseason opener last Thursday. Saturday’s practice was closed to the public while Sunday’s was open, and there was no shortage of news coming out of the team’s facilities over the last 48 hours. First, and most encouraging, […]
Aaron Banks did not have knee surgery
On Friday, Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur was asked directly whether or not projected starting left guard Aaron Banks, who started training camp on the physically unable to perform list with a knee injury but has since been activated to the roster, had surgery this offseason. LaFleur’s response? “I’ll let him answer that.” […]
Packers Training Camp Recap: Things finally get chippy
It took until the 12th day of training camp, but we finally got some fights in practice in Green Bay. The first scuffle was between running back Chris Brooks and linebacker Zaire Franklin, but the second one was more involved. Defensive lineman Chris McClellan landed hard on running back Pierre Strong Jr., which led to […]
Green Bay Packers Depth Chart: What Week 1 of the preseason taught us
We’re here today to take our best stab at what the Green Bay Packers think of their current roster. Yes, there’s an open roster spot on the team right now, so there are only 90 players listed on this depth chart, not the typical 91. We don’t know what’s happening behind closed doors, be it […]
Packers clear the runway for Kyle McCord to be QB3
On Saturday, just two days after the Green Bay Packers’ preseason opener, the Packers announced that they have parted ways with quarterback Kyron Drones, who was originally signed by the team as an undrafted free agent immediately following the 2026 NFL draft. Drones signed with Green Bay for just $5,000 in guarantees, which ranked 10th […]
Here’s who played for the Packers’ 1st- and 2nd-team units in the preseason opener
The Green Bay Packers’ snap counts from their preseason opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers dropped yesterday, but they don’t tell you very much. When players like cornerback Jaylin Simpson are leading the team in total snaps, it doesn’t really paint a clear picture of who is getting in the mix with the Packers’ first- and […]
Packers Discussion: How are you feeling about the team after the 1st preseason game?
Since a lot of us are excited about football coming back, let’s use this as a general thread to talk about the football team coming off last night’s preseason opener. How are you feeling about the team? Better? Worse? Not much change? Let us know in the comments section. Here are a couple of posts […]
Packers coaches talk injuries, preseason opener
The Green Bay Packers’ coaching staff, including coordinators and assistants, spoke to the media on Friday following the Packers’ 28-9 preseason loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The game was an odd one: Green Bay held the lead with their third-string units (even though it was a bit of a rock match), but when the fourth-string defense […]
Kicker Trey Smack already in rare company in recent Packers history
One field goal does not a kicker make. Two feels a lot better, but it’s still not enough for a trend. All that to say, Trey Smack got off to a pretty good start during the Packers’ first preseason game of 2026. Though it didn’t count, Smack opened his Packers career with a 58-yard boot […]
Packers fans still favor Anthony Belton to start at right guard
On Thursday night, the Green Bay Packers played a game for the first time this preseason, giving other teams and their own fans the first look at a potential lineup. Several key players sat out in the team’s exhibition debut against the Pittsburgh Steelers, including starting right tackle Zach Bako-Bewele, but there were several notable […]
