Where \"Draft and Develop\" isn't just a philosophy...it's a way of life.
I want to say on the front end, I don’t think the Green Bay Packers are going to make a trade before the league’s deadline this year. There are a couple of reasons for that. First, the team is already down future draft picks following the trade for Micah Parsons. Secondly, the two positions that […]

For the first time in a year, a Green Bay Packer has been named the NFC Defensive Player of the Month. This time, it’s newcomer Micah Parsons. This is his second time winning the award, first receiving the honor in September of 2023 as a member of the Dallas Cowboys, though I suspect this won’t […]

The Packers and Panthers hardly have a storied history — the Panthers serving as a stepping stone on the way to the Packers’ Super Bowl XXXI victory is about as rich as this matchup gets. But Packers players have put up quite a few memorable performances against the Panthers over the years. Here are a […]

On Sunday night, the Green Bay Packers got one of their more complete games of the season in their 35-25 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. But it was hardly perfect, as the team had plenty of issues in the first half that required a big second half performance to overcome. Three three-and-outs before halftime were […]

Earlier today, it was revealed that the Green Bay Packers had signed cornerback Tyron Herring to the practice squad, based on him being spotted by the media at the Packers’ Wednesday practice. What we now know, though, is that Green Bay actually signed two practice squadders today, as the team announced that the Packers had […]

The Green Bay Packers held their first practice of the week on Wednesday after a win over the Pittsburgh Steelers over the weekend. In it, three players were non-participants: receiver Dontayvion Wicks (calf), defensive end Lukas Van Ness (foot) and linebacker Nick Niemann (pectoral). Both Wicks and Van Ness were inactive due to injury against […]

When Green Bay Packers slot receiver Jayden Reed went down with a broken collarbone in Week 2, I thought it would be a long while before we saw him back in action with the team. Reed not only needed surgery to fix his collarbone issue, but he was already dealing with a foot injury that […]

Earlier this week, the Green Bay Packers lost cornerback Micah Robinson, a 2025 draft pick, when the Tennessee Titans plucked Robinson off the Packers’ practice squad. This left the Packers with just five cornerbacks in practice, all members of the 53-man roster, including two — Bo Melton and Kamal Hadden — who had never played […]

Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd began the regular season on the injured reserve after suffering a hamstring injury in August. Lloyd’s short time with the Packers has already been marred by health issues, including an emergency appendectomy during the third-round pick’s rookie season. When asked if Lloyd would be back in the near […]

This weekend, the Green Bay Packers’ game will be televised on an impressively small number of local stations around the United States. Their Week 9 matchup with the Carolina Panthers is up against a few unfortunate factors: First, it is not a premier opponent, nor is this game even a divisional matchup; second, it is […]

The end of a Hall of Fame career is not always glorious. In fact, it often involves an iconic athlete playing out the string in an unfamiliar place for an unfamiliar team. Think Johnny Unitas with the San Diego Chargers or Brett Favre with the Minnesota Vikings. Think Emmitt Smith with the Arizona Cardinals. Think […]

Here’s our explainer on who is playing where, why and how often for your […]

The Green Bay Packers worked out only two players on Tuesday, with the surprise being that neither was a cornerback. At the moment, the Packers have just five cornerbacks on their 53-man roster, and the team no longer has a practice squad cornerback after the loss of Micah Robinson, who was poached by the Tennessee […]

When the Green Bay Packers won their last Super Bowl in 2010, the biggest in-season addition that the team made was the waiver claim of defensive lineman Howard Green, who helped the Packers get over the injury hump at the position. Green wound up starting in three of the Packers’ playoff games that year, even […]

The Green Bay Packers sit in the top spot in the NFC with a 5-1-1 record, but the margins are extremely thin right now. For example, had they lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers, that one extra loss would have dropped the Packers all the way down to the sixth seed in the NFC. One single […]

I’ll say that I didn’t feel great on Sunday night when the Green Bay Packers went into halftime down 16-7 to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The offense had looked pretty good up until that point, but some key drops on 3rd down led to some drives that had sputtered out. Then they outscored the Steelers 28-9 […]

This evening, the NFL brings its week 8 schedule to a close with a single game on Monday Night Football. Out of the 13 games across the NFL in week 8, eight of them featured cross-conference matchups. However, it was a brutal week for the NFC against AFC opponents, as NFC teams went just 1-6 […]

The Minnesota Vikings placed quarterback Carson Wentz on the injured reserve on Monday, due to a shoulder surgery that will end his 2025 campaign. Without Wentz, the 3-4 Vikings are left with just J.J. McCarthy, who is coming off “an ankle injury,” and undrafted rookie Max Brosmer at the position. With the open roster spot […]

Green Bay Packers kicker Brandon McManus missed his first two field goal attempts on Sunday Night Football against the Pittsburgh Steelers this week, leading to questions about whether he was 100 percent for the game. McManus hadn’t kicked in a game in a month due to a quad injury, leading to Lucas Havrisik — who […]

The Tennessee Titans traded slot cornerback Roger McCreary to the Los Angeles Rams earlier today, which left Tennessee with a void at the position on its 53-man roster. To make up for the cornerback out, the Titans plucked rookie seventh-round pick Micah Robinson off the Green Bay Packers’ practice squad. This is the second time […]

In Week 7, Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young injured his ankle against the New York Jets, forcing backup Andy Dalton into the game to finish out the 13-6 Panthers win. Last week, without Young, Carolina was smoked by the Buffalo Bills to the tune of 40-9. Now, the Panthers are hoping that Young will return […]

The NFL’s Most Valuable Player award is essentially a quarterback honor in modern days. Generally, the award goes to a quarterback who leads his team to a playoff spot by putting up gaudy numbers and delivering in big moments on national television, with additional weight being placed on the games down the stretch in the […]

It was a night of reunions as the Green Bay Packers traveled to Pittsburgh to take on their former franchise QB, Aaron Rodgers, and the Steelers. It had all the makings of a highly anticipated game: both teams are at the top of their respective divisions, both starting QBs are having good seasons, and we […]

Christian Watson isn’t a particularly difficult player to understand. He’s big, he’s fast, and he actually has become a reliable catcher of the football after some rookie scuffles in that department. Metric after metric shows how important he has been, for years, in helping the Green Bay Packers beat man coverage. When he went out […]
