The Packers have already inked wide receiver Christian Watson to a long-term contract this season, and there are rumblings that Romeo Doubs could be next in line, but it is one of Green Bay’s star defensive players who may be running out of time to ink a new deal. Doubs has shined in Watson’s absence, still recovering from a torn ACL suffered in the 2024 regular season finale, to the point that the Packers seem inclined to make him a piece of the long-term puzzle alongside Watson and emerging first-round rookie receiver Matthew Golden. However, with Lukas Van Ness in…

The Packers may have finally found a home for Jordan Morgan. Morgan, Green Bay’s No. 25 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft has been an offensive line vagabond through the first year-plus of his NFL career. Packers may be wise to move Jordan Morgan to guard … permanently The former Arizona standout has struggled to consistently crack the starting lineup, appearing in 11 games at tackle over the past two years, but that might not be his best spot along the offensive line. Last week against the Bengals, playing right guard, Morgan was one of the highest graded linemen…

The Packers are only a few plays away from being unbeaten through the first six weeks, so it’s little wonder that Green Bay is viewed as one of the most complete teams in the league. After all, had it not been for a late Jordan Love interception and defensive meltdown that led to Joe Flacco leading a 13-10 comeback win for the Browns, the Packers would be the last of the unbeaten teams.

The Packers are kicking the tires on adding a veteran edge rusher. Even after acquiring Micah Parsons in a blockbuster trade this summer, general manager Brian Gutekunst isn’t done trying to add quality pass rushers. Packers host edge rusher for a workout After Lukas Van Ness was carted to the locker room late in Sunday’s Packers win over the Cincinnati Bengals, initial tests suggest the edge rusher won’t miss any significant time. However, even amid a positive prognosis, the Packers hosted a handful of edge rushers for a workout on Tuesday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TdlU3kgkVQ The group at Ray Nitschke Field included front-seven…

The interior of the Packers’ defensive line has struggled mightily in the past several weeks, and not just because All-Pro Kenny Clark is a Dallas Cowboy, traded as part of the Micah Parsons blockbuster deal. Green Bay’s struggles closing out games and protecting big leads have been well documented over the past month, but missing defensive lineman Devonte Wyatt has been a big driving force for those worries and inconsistencies in coordinator Jeff Hafley’s front seven. Last week, the Bengals hung around late as the Packers’ defense couldn’t get off the field or force stops in the second half of…

The Packers will likely need to wait at least one more week before getting running back Marshawn Lloyd back on the field. Lloyd, originally chosen by the Packers in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft, has yet to see any action this season after landing on injured reserve after suffering an injury this summer. Packers’ Matt LaFleur offers update on Marshawn Lloyd’s injury As the Packers continue preparations for Sunday’s contest against the Arizona Cardinals, head coach Matt LaFleur offered an update on Lloyd’s status and chances of returning anytime soon. “He’s getting closer (to practicing), I’d say,”…

The Packers significantly bolstered the pass rush this summer, acquiring All-Pro Micah Parsons in a blockbuster trade with the Dallas Cowboys on the eve of the 2025 season kicking off, and general manager Brian Gutekunst may have the opportunity to recoup some draft capital ahead of the NFL trade deadline next month. Parsons has been about as impactful as anticipated, logging 2.5 sacks through the Packers’ first five games while adding 29 total pressures, which is fourth most in the NFL, according to Pro Football Focus. As the November 3 deadline looms, it could be another Packers pass rusher who…

November is almost here. The Wisconsin Badgers will embark on the most defining phase of the 2025 football season.

Indeed, there are many great venues throughout the league, and Green Bay fans have the chance to visit some pretty remarkable sites this year. Ranking Packers’ Opponents By Best Stadiums Metlife Stadium (New York Giants) On November 16, the Packers will travel east to take on the New York Giants at Metlife Stadium.
