As expected, the Green Bay Packers will be down right tackle Zach Tom (back/knee) and safety Evan Williams (knee) against the Chicago Bears.

With very limited exceptions I don’t think it’s ever a good idea to draft a tight end in the first round of the NFL draft. Even good ones often take some time to develop, and while elite, multi-faceted tight ends are incredibly valuable, you can get “good enough” production from the middle rounds with regularity. […]

To say that the Green Bay Packers’ defense is banged up would be an understatement. On top of losing superstar pass rusher in Micah Parsons to a torn ACL, the Packers also lost their ascending safety in Evan Williams on the very same play last week against the Denver Broncos.

A pass catcher putting up a 1000-yard season isn’t particularly rare in Packers history. It’s happened 40 times in more than a century of Packers football, dating back to Don Hutson’s 1,211 yards in 1942. But there won’t be a 1000-yard receiver in Green Bay in 2025, not unless Romeo Doubs really picks up the […]
