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 […]
Kyle McCord seems well ahead of Kyron Drones for Packers third QB job
The top end of the Packers’ quarterback depth chart is set. As of last night, we can probably say the same about the bottom end, too. In action against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Kyle McCord looked much more game-ready than fellow low-end quarterback Kyron Drones, whose only real selling point is his athleticism. McCord completed 12 […]
Jordan Morgan looks at home back at his natural left tackle spot
Most of what we see in preseason NFL games doesn’t matter at all, as many of the snaps that are taken up by players in those games are from players who won’t play more than special teams snaps during the season. However, with the some members of the Green Bay Packers’ first-team offensive line getting […]
Packers should open up wide receiver competition
There’s a curious phenomenon going on at the moment with the Packers’ wide receiver room: it lacks size. Anybody who’s watched the Packers throughout the Matt LaFleur era would tell you that’s a bit strange. LaFleur has long preferred big-bodied receivers who can run block, and has been willing to trade speed for size to […]
Green Bay Packers News: Trey Smack stars in preseason debut
For many football players, the cliché goes that everything changes when the pads go on in training camp. For kickers, however, it’s what you do in games, not in practices, that is what matters. If that’s the case, Trey Smack might be just fine. The Green Bay Packers rookie has had an up-and-down spring and […]
Green Bay Packers Roster: Post-Preseason Week 1 53-man projection
It’s time to update our Green Bay Packers roster prediction, now that we’ve seen the team play some real live-action tackle football in the preseason. The starting offense played only nine snaps against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and the starting defense got just three reps, but we got a good look at the team’s second- through […]
Packers-Steelers Score, Recap: Trey Smack goes perfect in an otherwise sloppy game
With 2:30 left in the third quarter, the Green Bay Packers still held a lead over the Pittsburgh Steelers in their preseason opener. As soon as the fourth-team unit hit the field, though, it was all Steelers, one major factor in why Pittsburgh wound up winning 28-9 on Thursday night. While quarterback Aaron Rodgers didn’t […]
Packers vs. Steelers Preseason Week 1 Game Discussion
It’s finally here! Green Bay Packers football has returned after a long 8-month layoff as the Packers begin their preseason slate this evening. The team is in western Pennsylvania to face the Pittsburgh Steelers, a team that features a few key individuals with deep ties to Green Bay. Those people are, of course, head coach […]
Packers Discussion: What are you looking for in Green Bay’s preseason opener?
We’re just a few hours away from the Green Bay Packers kicking off their 2026 preseason in Pittsburgh. As far as we know, the starters will be playing a couple of series in the game before the backups start filling up the rest of the time. With that being said, what are you looking for […]
Green Bay Packers News: All eyes on MarShawn Lloyd in preseason opener
We’ve spent nearly two years waiting to see what MarShawn Lloyd can become. Tonight against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Packers may finally get a semi-meaningful opportunity to find out. Lloyd has NFL talent, but can you guess how many regular season games he’s appeared in since being drafted in 2024? If you guessed 1, please […]
Packers vs. Steelers, Preseason Week 1: Game time, how to watch, streaming info, & more
It’s finally time for the Green Bay Packers to get the 2026 preseason underway. The team has traveled a few states away for their preseason opener, visiting the new home of a pair of old friends who combined to deliver the team’s most recent Super Bowl title. That’s right — the Packers will play the […]
Brian Gutekunst: Packers didn’t plan on picking Trey Smack
Cheesehead TV landed Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst for a one-on-one interview this week, and one of the big things he addressed in the conversation was the selection of kicker Trey Smack in the sixth round of the 2026 draft. As a reminder, the Packers send two seventh-round picks to add Smack to […]
No word on whether Aaron Rodgers will play the Packers this preseason
While the Green Bay Packers have stated publicly that they plan to play their starters in their preseason opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers, at least for a drive or two, the Steelers have been a little wishy-washy when asked about the same subject. As recently as yesterday, Pittsburgh head coach Mike McCarthy, who won a […]
The Brandon Cisse hype cannot be contained
The cornerback position has been the Green Bay Packers have been struggling to solidify since the departure of Jaire Alexander a few seasons ago, and that has put even more pressure on second-round corner Brandon Cisse to perform right away. That, combined with a strong start to training camp, has the hype train moving full […]
