Latest news and updates about the Packers
The Green Bay Packers made the surprising decision to activate running back MarShawn Lloyd to the 53-man roster in the corresponding roster move that came with placing defensive end Micah Parsons on the injured reserve. Lloyd’s practice window was set to expire this week, but the Packers found a temporary fix to Lloyd suffering an […]

Wednesday’s injury report unfortunately features two key Bears receivers who are trending toward being out this weekend: Rome Odunze (foot) and Luther Burden III (ankle). Neither player practiced on either Tuesday or Wednesday ahead of […]

Green Bay Packers starting safety Evan Williams, who has been a non-participant in Tuesday’s walkthrough and Wednesday’s practice this week, revealed today that he sprained his MCL against the Denver Broncos on the same play that Micah Parsons tore his ACL, per ESPN’s Rob Demovsky. Williams didn’t return to the field after the injury and […]

With the playoffs within reach and the Green Bay Packers rolling into Soldier Field for a primetime showdown, Caleb Williams sounds like a quarterback settling into both the stage and the stakes. The Bears have evolved around him since the bye week , their identity sharpening, their run game humming, the details of Ben Johnson’s offense crystallizing. And Williams, for all the outside noise, sees the same evolution unfolding within himself. “I would say us getting our run game going ...

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur stated in his pre-practice press conference on Wednesday that receiver Christian Watson, who left Sunday’s game with a chest injury and was taken out of the stadium in an ambulance, is expected to practice today. The Packers will run a modified practice on Wednesday after having a walkthrough […]

Yesterday, we had a tough discussion about how the Green Bay Packers’ chances as a Super Bowl contender have changed with the Micah Parsons injury. Now, I want to bring up one of the bigger questions about the franchise moving forward: What do you think happens with Matt LaFleur’s contract situation? If you need a […]

Chicago Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson has his offense humming entering the team’s Week 16 showdown against the Green Bay Packers. And let the record show that the lede sentence in this post isn’t solely a reflection of recency bias with the Bears offense putting up 31 points against Myles Garrett and the Cleveland Browns defense. The offensive side of the ball in Chicago has been playing well for a while now. And nothing captures that fact like this nugget shared by teammate Patrick Flower...

The race for the NFC North is coming down to the wire, with the Bears and Packers getting set for a pivotal showdown at Soldier Field this Saturday.

Let’s look at the current divisional odds, as well as some game lines for Saturday’s rivalr...

As we discussed earlier this week, the Green Bay Packers don’t have many absolute needs going into this offseason. Could the team use a talent infusion in the draft? Always, but few positions scream “absolutely need,” with the major exception being quarterback, because the Packers are unlikely to re-sign quarterback Malik Willis — considering his […]

We already talked about the Green Bay Packers’ passing game as a whole, but I wanted to take a deeper look at a play that could potentially have changed the complexion of the game. It goes down as an incomplete pass to receiver Romeo Doubs early in the 2nd quarter on 3rd & 6. The […]

It’s a big case study week here at Acme Packing Company. This time, I want to pin down the outlook for MarShawn Lloyd, a third-round running back who has just played one game in two seasons and will seemingly be shut down by the Green Bay Packers at the end of this week. Here was […]

According to Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs, and comments made by head coach Matt LaFleur in the pre-practice press conference, Jacobs re-injured his knee against the Denver Broncos on Sunday on the same toss play that tight end Josh Whyle was concussed on. On Tuesday, the Packers’ first day of practice this week, […]

Caleb Williams has made some truly remarkable progress in his second NFL season. But in his first season under Head Coach Ben Johnson, starting fast is something that has eluded him. The game-sealing interception in the end zone in Green Bay was the backbreaker for Chicago in Week 14, but the slow start (as it has many weeks) forced the Bears into that situation in the first place. Getting the offense going early was a point of emphasis heading into Sunday’s matchup with the Browns, and W...

The Green Bay Packers lost to the Denver Broncos this weekend, but more importantly, the team lost pass-rusher Micah Parsons for the rest of the season with a torn ACL. Expectations have adjusted from the Packers being a true playoff contender in a weak postseason slate to having a puncher’s chance in individual games in […]

The Green Bay Packers seem like they’re prepared to shut down running back MarShawn Lloyd, who has only played one game in the two years since the Packers turned in a third-round pick for him. Lloyd injured his hamstring this summer, leading to him being placed on the injured reserve at the roster cutdown deadline. […]

The Chicago Bears injury report will be worth keeping tabs on this week. Not only are we on high alert since it is Packers Week, it is worth highlighting that there are a handful of Bears injury updates that we will monitor obsessively because they are potential game-changers. For good measure, that we’re adding to the mix that it is a short week with these two teams playing on Saturday complicates matters a bit.

Every week, we use this space to look at the Green Bay Packers’ passing game from the previous week, so let’s get to it. It was a tale of two halves for Jordan Love. He looked unstoppable in the 1st half, going 17/22 (77.3%) for 215 yards (9.8 YPA) and 1 TD (122.4 QB Rating). […]

The Packers are down, but not out. Yes, the road ahead got a lot harder this week, but there’s still some reason for hope as the Packers come down the home stretch. For better or for worse, they largely control their own destiny. As long as they keep winning, they’ll more than likely end up […]

1) I don’t care how tired people were of the Kansas City Chiefs’ dynasty or the Green Bay Packers being a thorn in the Chicago Bears’ side. No one wants to see Patrick Mahomes and Micah Parsons, two of the best players in the game, tear their ACLs on the same day. It’s terrible for […]
