New stats from Pro Football Reference highlight legendary Packers players
Pro Football Reference has just rolled out some stats from the earliest years of the National Football League. In a blog post, PFR announced that courtesy of a donation from legendary sports researcher David Neft, they’re now able to offer fairly reliable stats from the 1920-1931 seasons (and 1932, in some cases). That means we’re […]
Green Bay Packers News: Running backs ready for committee approach
The Packers’ season will probably not hinge on the strength of their running backs, which is a good thing, because I’m not sure anybody really knows what the Packers have at running back. And that includes the Packers, who are currently without the services of Josh Jacobs (and likely will remain so for the foreseeable […]
Packers vs. Vikings Week 1 TV broadcast map shows wide coverage
When the Green Bay Packers open up the 2026 season against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, they will do so with the eyes of most of the pro football world upon them. Sunday’s kickoff will take place at 3:25 PM Central time, and the vast majority of the United States will get to see the […]
Green Bay Packers drop Week 1 depth chart: 6 takeaways
The Green Bay Packers updated their depth chart on Tuesday, the first time that they’ve done so going into the 2026 regular season. For the most part, it looks accurate, based on our charting of preseason and training camp rotations, but there were a few things that stood out to me — so I want […]
Every Former Packer the Team Will See in the 2026 Season
Last offseason, I ranked the former Green Bay Packers the team would face in the upcoming season based on how much it was gonna hurt to play against them. I specifically ranked them based on pure emotion mixed with how much the Packers could use them at that time. This season, there are a handful […]
Predict the Green Bay Packers’ final win total in 2026
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. Week 1 of the NFL season brings optimism and excitement for fan bases all across the league. (Well, except for the Browns, perhaps.) But how shall […]
The Packers’ Week 1 X-factor is the health of Zach Bako-Bewele
The Green Bay Packers coaching staff has been non-committal about right tackle Zach Bako-Bewele’s availability for Sunday’s game for a couple of weeks now. Bako-Bewele himself was confident he’d be ready for Week 1, but you’ve definitely heard more convincing statements of confidence than this one: Offensive coordinator and former offensive line coach Adam Stenovich […]
Packers sign RB Damon Bankston
Sports Illustrated’s Bill Huber is reporting that the Green Bay Packers have signed rookie running back Damon Bankston, filling their final vacancy on the team’s practice squad. Bankston was brought into Green Bay initially as a pre-draft visitor, but he ended up signing with the New York Giants as an undrafted free agent for $115,000 […]
Let’s Remember Some Guys, Packers UDFA edition
It’s never a bad time to Remember Some Guys. This morning, I was listening to a podcast that referenced the original “Let’s Remember Some Guys” post from Deadspin, published by Tom Ley in May 2015. That post, which was exclusively a list of 16 running back guys from around the NFL in the 2000s, had […]
Green Bay Packers News: Time for Packers stars to shine
We’re a day away from football. Tomorrow night, in Australia for some reason, the 2026 NFL season officially begins. Packers fans have to wait until Sunday for our first taste of the action, but it’s coming, and soon. And after weeks of training camp, it’s time to recalibrate expectations for what really matters on the […]
Green Bay Roster: Breaking down the new Packers for 2026 and their roles
As of now, the Green Bay Packers have 15 new players on their 53-man roster who weren’t a part of the team in 2025. Today, we’re going to break down every single one of these new players and what their expected roles on the team are, in case you missed any of the new from […]
Green Bay Packers name team captains for 2026
The Green Bay Packers have named captains in several different ways under head coach Matt LaFleur, but it appears that they’ll be rolling with a season-long set of five captains in 2026, based on the team’s announcement on Monday. In the past, the team has also rotated captains on a game-by-game basis, as we all […]
Tucker Kraft named NFL’s #3 player on an expiring contract
If you can believe it, there are already people looking toward the 2027 NFL free-agent cycle. Greg Rosenthal of NFL.com posted an article this week laying out the top 25 possible free agents for next year’s free-agent class heading into the 2026 regular season. Coming third on the list is the Green Bay Packers’ Tucker […]
Packers Depth Chart: We still don’t know who will start at cornerback
Last week, we went through an exercise where we tried to pin down which 48 players among the Green Bay Packers’ 53-man roster would actually make the cut for being game-day actives against the Minnesota Vikings in the team’s Week 1 regular-season opener. Today, I want to focus less on the back end of the […]
Packers Preview: Get ready for Edgerrin Cooper playing on the edge
One of the biggest changes you’re going to notice about new defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon’s scheme is his Penny package, which is essentially a 3-4 defense on the line of scrimmage with one true off-ball linebacker, split safeties and another deeper safety in the middle of the field. Green Bay Packers fans are familiar with […]
Vikings sign S Harrison Smith ahead of Week 1 matchup with Packers
According to NFL Network/ESPN’s Mike Garafolo, the Minnesota Vikings have signed safety Harrison Smith to a one-year, $12.25 million contract going into this week’s matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Smith had previously played for the Vikings, earning All-Pro honors in 2017 and 2018, before being released by Minnesota at the start of the new […]
Packers to work out UFL MVP Jack Plummer next week
According to NFL insider Aaron Wilson, the Green Bay Packers will work out Jack Plummer, the UFL’s 2026 MVP and passing leader, next week. This is an interesting move, as the Packers just signed quarterback Kedon Slovis to their practice squad earlier this week and the team still has one remaining practice squad spot open. […]
Referee announced for Packers’ Week 1 matchup vs. Vikings
The NFL has announced its Week 1 referee assignments, and the Green Bay Packers, who will open the season against the Minnesota Vikings in Minneapolis, will start the year with Shawn Hochuli. Hochuli’s crews have been known to be flag-happy, as they are the only ones to have ranked among the top four in the […]
Josh Jacobs’ initial hearing has been moved up by several months
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs was placed on the NFL’s commissioner exempt list before the league’s final cutdowns to teams’ initial 53-man rosters for the 2026 season. The Packers’ brass has stated that they will stand by Jacobs, who is currently set to face charges of battery and criminal damage in Brown County, […]
Packers Preview: What to expect from a MarShawn Lloyd running game?
The Green Bay Packers’ running game is going to be a bit of a mystery box going into the 2026 regular season. Not only is starting running back Josh Jacobs on the commissioner exempt list, but the players who will backfill Jacobs’ carries have never been significant ball-carriers at the NFL level, and the Packers’ […]
Packers can be optimistic about forcing turnovers in 2026
A little over a year ago, I wrote about the Packers’ defense and its plans for 2025. Heading into the second year of the Jeff Hafley era, the Packers wanted to force even more turnovers than they had in 2024, which I argued was an admirable but misguided plan. “Get more turnovers” isn’t really a […]
The Packers’ 2026 schedule is mostly friendly for out-of-market fans across the US
Being a fan of one of the NFL’s biggest fan bases has its perks. For Green Bay Packers fans living in the United States but outside of the team’s home television markets, nationally televised games are a welcome sight. Fans can certainly debate the time slot that they prefer based on their own circumstances, but […]
Green Bay Packers News: 1923 throwback uniforms return in December
You didn’t think the Green Bay Packers would have just a single game in alternate uniforms this season, did you? Hopefully not, because Thursday afternoon brought the news that the team will once again be bringing out their “1923 Classic” threads later this season. This alternate uniform, which debuted last season in a home game […]
The Madden Curse is real and it’s coming for the Bears
I live in suburban Chicago Illinois, which has several benefits. One of the big benefits is that I get to hear overconfident Bears fans on the radio, which I enjoy more than hearing overconfident Green Bay Packers fans on the radio. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not at all against proclaiming the superiority of your […]
Green Bay Packers News: MarShawn Lloyd is ready for a big role
I’m excited for MarShawn Lloyd. I’m worried for MarShawn Lloyd. In some ways his offseason reminded me of a low-level viral tweet from a while back: he accidentally became important at work, and it might be ruining his life. I don’t think anybody anticipated the Packers would go into Week 1 with Lloyd as the […]
