On Sunday, Elgton Jenkins was held out of practice. Coming off of an ACL injury this is not what Packers fans wanted to hear. When asked about it, head coach Matt LaFleur downplayed the absence saying that it was not related to the knee. This led to many Packers fans wondering what was going on. The conspiracy theories started to run rampant. However, it seems like all is well. Packers star offensive lineman Elgton Jenkins was back at practice today.

The NFL finished releasing their annual NFL Top 100 list. This list is voted on by the players and is always a fun discussion between fan bases.

The regular season is two weeks away! After wrapping up preseason games, the Packers now turn their focus towards their matchup with the Vikings in week 1. Not many starters suited up in the preseason. Aaron Rodgers didn’t play. Neither Aaron Jones or AJ Dillon suited up. The top three receivers plus Christian Watson never saw the field. While this was to not risk injury, the question is will the offense be game ready by week 1. Last year, the Packers came out flat. Can the Packers avoid a week 1 letdown this year? Week 1 of the 2021 Season…
The preseason has wrapped up with the Packers playing their final game in Kansas City Thursday. Now comes the difficult part for the Packers coaching staff. Who do you keep and who do you cut. While many of the Packers positions are very clear, one where there is some competition is at wide receiver. The top six are pretty much set which leaves a competition between two receivers. Should the Packers keep Juwann Winfree or Samori Toure? Case For Juwann Winfree Juwann Winfree has been a staple on the Packers practice squad for a couple of years. While he is…
After last season, the Packers special teams had to make strides in the offseason. The new signings and the new coach Rich Bisaccia gave Packers fans hope. The performance has squashed any hope. The Packers special teams are horrendous. Every mistake was on display during Thursday’s preseason game. Muffed kicks, poor blocking, giving up big chunk returns and poor tackling were commonplace whenever the special teams took the field. Fans had some hilarious reactions to the Packers special teams play on Thursday night. Best Reactions From Social Media While the special teams may be very frustrating, there is no denying…
One player that needed to prove himself in 2022 was Amari Rodgers. His rookie season was disappointing but many had high hopes coming into year two. The Packers are showing creativity with Amari Rodgers and fans are noticing. A lot of Buzz About Amari Rodgers Social media has been buzzing about the Packers use of Amari Rodgers. He has lined up some at running back and fans seem to be loving it. https://twitter.com/arrickuptongb/status/1562963551073218560?s=21&t=l5Tc4Z4XcE51jgLE09jdBg This brings back memories of Ty Montgomery (the good ones that is) where the Packers would use a receiver in a running back role. This also has…
The NFL is in the process of releasing their NFL Top 100; a list of the best 100 players going into the season. While the order of the top 20 will be announced on Sunday, they released the names of the players in the top 20. It was no surprise to see Aaron Rodgers there. What was surprising was that was it. The list only has two Packers: Aaron Rodgers and De’Vondre Campbell at no. 49. Here are 4 Packers who got snubbed in the NFL Top 100 list. Jaire Alexander Of all of the Packers snubbed from the NFL…
If you have watched any Packers analysis lately you know Larry McCarren. This year is McCarren’s 50th training camp with the team either as a player or broadcaster. After practice, LaFleur brought him into the team huddle and allowed him to speak to the team. It was great to see the Packers honor Larry McCarren. Larry McCarren as a Player McCarren played for the Packers for 12 seasons making the Pro Bowl twice. As a center, you won’t see stats jump off the page but the stories of his toughness are what make him a legend. He played 162 consecutive…
The last week of the preseason is upon us. While teams have had to make roster cuts here and there, it is nothing compared to this week. More news has come out in the last couple of days of the cuts teams are starting to make to get to the 53-man roster. Today, the Packers cut former Wisconsin Badgers WR Danny Davis.

The Packers have been thin at safety for much of training camp. Adrian Amos and Darnell Savage came in as the clear starters but injuries have been a problem for the position. Savage was injured on Family Night and the back ups have had a slew of injuries. This led to one Packers starting CB switching positions today at practice. Rasul Douglas got some reps playing safety during Tuesday’s practice. Douglas’ History at Safety This isn’t unheard of for Douglas’ career. When he was with the Eagles fans and media members were clamoring for Douglas to get reps at safety.…
