Packers-Vikings Inactives: 4 out with injuries for Green Bay
The Green Bay Packers have officially ruled out running back Josh Jacobs (knee), receiver Matthew Golden (shoulder/wrist), linebacker Quay Walker (neck) and cornerback Nate Hobbs (knee) with injuries. Jacobs and Golden were both listed as questionable on the Packers’ final injury report of the week, while Walker was given a “doubtful” status. Along with those […]
Week 12 NFL Sunday Schedule & Discussion Thread
Welcome to Sunday! The NFL is back in action today with a big day and some intriguing games on the schedule before the league and the American viewing public start looking ahead to Thanksgiving this Thursday. The holiday will kick off week 13 around the NFL, but today we’re dealing with 12 games on the […]
Green Bay Packers’ Josh Jacobs to be held out vs. Vikings
NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero is reporting that Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs is not going to play against the Minnesota Vikings. Previously, Jacobs was listed as questionable on the Packers’ final injury report of the week and had been considered a game-time decision. According to Pelissero, the Packers “decided to play it cautiously […]
Packers Film Room: Spreading out to find explosive plays
Going up against a Brian Flores defense is a unique challenge. Not only is the Minnesota Vikings’ defensive coordinator well known as a maniacal blitzer, he seems to find new ways to blitz every week. He has been a forward-thinking coach who has driven changes in blitz strategy across the league, while also breaking those […]
Packers vs. Vikings, Week 12 Game Info: Time, TV channel, odds, & more
Let’s get this divisional gauntlet underway. Today, the Green Bay Packers start their sprint through the NFC North to finish out the 2025 regular season, with five divisional games in the last seven weeks. First up is the first of two games against the Minnesota Vikings, whom the Packers will also play in the season […]
Jeff Hafley’s newest wrinkle for the Green Bay Packers’ defense
Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley has a wide range of tools at his disposal that he can use to generate pressure on opposing quarterbacks. One way he can generate pressure is through the use of a concept called “hot quarters coverage.” It’s seldom used, and according to Sports Info Solutions, it has only […]
Packers make roster moves, hinting at Josh Jacobs being inactive vs. Vikings
The Green Bay Packers announced on Saturday that they have promoted two practice squad players to the team’s gameday roster against the Minnesota Vikings. These players are running back Pierre Strong Jr. and linebacker Jamon Johnson. This does not mean that these players will be active against Minnesota, but that they are among the eligible […]
Packers Open Thread: Would you activate Jayden Reed on Sunday?
Jayden Reed is back! Well, sort of. On Friday, the Packers opened Reed’s 21 day practice window, designating the third year receiver to return from IR. While Reed has not practiced since week 2 after foot and collarbone surgeries, the juice he brings after the catch could be a massive boon to a Packers offense […]
Packers-Vikings Preview: 5 Questions With the Enemy
Thank you to Christopher Gates of our sister site the Daily Norseman, which covers the Minnesota Vikings, for stopping by and answering a few questions about his team as they get ready to play the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. If you want to find the pairing piece to this article, where Gates asks me […]
Evan Williams breaks down his game-sealing interception
On Sunday in week 11 against the Giants, safety Evan Williams caught the game-ending interception to send the Packers to 6-3-1. It was a welcome relief after a game spent dropping what felt like a half dozen interceptions in their hands (it was only four by my count). The game is funny that way. Less […]
Remembering the Packers’ best statistical performances against the Vikings
The Packers’ oldest rivals may be the Bears, but their most heated rivalry, at least in the 21st century, has to be with the Minnesota Vikings. That’s probably because of the simple fact that the Vikings have been much better over the last 20 to 30 years than the Bears, which leads to a lot […]
Week 13 College Football Discussion Thread
Saturday is going to have a sleepy slate of games before things really ramp up in rivalry week, where we’ll get #4 Georgia @ #16 Georgia Tech and #3 Texas A&M @ #17 Texas on Black Friday and #1 Ohio State @ #18 Michigan and #14 Vanderbilt @ #20 Tennessee on Saturday. This week, though, […]
Packers-Vikings Final Injury Report: Quay Walker doubtful
The Green Bay Packers dropped their final injury report of the week on Friday, which included that receiver Jayden Reed (shoulder/foot) was a limited participant in practice after having his 21-day practice window open up today. Reed is officially listed as out for Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings, but he at least got this […]
Vikings safety Harrison Smith is finally getting old
Every year for about five years I’ve been predicting a decline for Minnesota Vikings safety Harrison Smith, because, well, most 31-year-old safeties decline pretty quickly. However, Harrison Smith is not most safeties, and to his immense credit, he has bucked the odds year after year after year. In retrospect, this was actually a dumb thing […]
Jayden Reed Injury Update: Packers WR returns to practice Friday
The Green Bay Packers are poised to get some reinforcements for their banged-up wide receiver room. Currently, the team has six wideouts on the 53-man roster, and five of those were listed as limited in Thursday’s practice ahead of the team’s Week 12 matchup with the Minnesota Vikings. The only receiver practicing in full was […]
Packers TE Josh Whyle Might Be Good
One thing I like about the Green Bay Packer front office is that I know they have a big database of players and college prospects somewhere inside 1265 Lombardi Avenue, and that it is at least somewhat knowable if you know what to look for. For instance, last year I wrote a piece about how […]
Packers can’t let Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy gain confidence on Sunday
If the Green Bay Packers want to win on Sunday, then they need to make sure Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy continues to look like one of the worst quarterbacks in football. That’s not hyperbole or even an unfair shot at a divisional rival’s QB. When on the field, McCarthy has been one of the […]
The Packers’ NFC North schedule this year is stupid
The Packers’ schedule this year is stupid, and the stupidity kicks into high gear this week. With seven weeks remaining, the Packers have played just one of their six divisional games, meaning their final five are jammed into the last month and a half of the season. This is dumb and stupid and wrong for […]
Green Bay Packers News: Vikings game brings challenges & opportunities
The Green Bay Packers host the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday afternoon, and this game will be yet another chance for this Packers squad to demonstrate that they can play better than they have during their rough stretch over the past several weeks. It’s time to turn the focus up — there can be no more […]
The Packers’ run game success depends on their opponent’s talent level
We covered this a little bit last week, but I wanted to give you an update on an interesting phenomenon that I’ve found: The Green Bay Packers’ rushing game basically plays up to their opponent’s season-long averages. This is all to say, we might have the most meh run game in the league, even though […]
Anthony Belton should play guard down the stretch for the Packers
Throughout training camp, Green Bay Packers rookie second-round pick Anthony Belton had practiced exclusively at the tackle positions, in a backup role, for the Packers. To me, that was somewhat understandable, since Travis Glover was placed on the injured reserve early on and Kadeem Telfort, who was a roster bubble player to begin with, would […]
Packers Discussion: Who wins on Sunday, Green Bay or the Vikings?
With running back Josh Jacobs (knee) and receiver Savion Williams (foot) returning to practice for the Green Bay Packers on Thursday, the Packers’ only non-participants in practice this week have been defensive lineman Karl Brooks (ankle), linebacker Quay Walker (neck) and cornerback Nate Hobbs (knee). Green Bay should be relatively healthy going into their matchup […]
Thursday Night Football, Week 12: Bills and Texans face off
Thursday has arrived, and with it is the start of football in week 12. Tonight, football fans will get a matchup between teams that have recently been staples of the AFC playoff field with the Bills visiting the Texans. Buffalo has made the postseason in six straight seasons and seven of eight starting in 2017. […]
Packers vs. Bears Week 14 game flexed, new kickoff time is 3:25 PM
For the first time in the 2025 regular season, the NFL has implemented its flexible scheduling system to change the kickoff time of a game. On Thursday afternoon, the league announced that it has adjusted the start times for a pair of Sunday games in Week 14, one of which involves the Green Bay Packers. […]
Josh Jacobs will practice for the Packers on Thursday
After missing Wednesday’s practice with a knee injury, Green Bay Packers starting running back Josh Jacobs will return to the field on Thursday, at least in limited looks. Jacobs suffered a knee contusion against the New York Giants on Sunday, knocking him out of the game after the team’s second drive. In his pre-practice press […]
