Packers Practice Squad Tracker 2026: Follow all the reports & signings
A 53-man roster isn’t the only thing that NFL teams need to decide on this week. The league’s cutdown deadline from 90 to 53 will come and go on Sunday afternoon, and on Monday it will be time for teams to begin assembling the other major piece of their rosters: the practice squad. Over the […]
Packers Discussion: What does a gameday roster look like for Green Bay?
A lot of focus has been put on the Green Bay Packers’ 53-man roster recently, and I don’t blame people for looking at it — since we just had roster cutdowns. To me, though, there are really three different versions of the roster: Today, I want to talk about the 48-man game-day roster. A lot […]
Packers Injuries: Updates on IR’d players and Micah Parsons
The Green Bay Packers’ brass spoke to the media on Tuesday for the first time since roster cuts. The deadline also came with some injury news, as both receiver Savion Williams and edge rusher Collin Oliver were placed on the injured reserve, with a return designation, to make room for other players to be retained […]
Packers Film Review: TE Mark Redman
On August 30th, the Green Bay Packers traded a 2028 7th-round pick to the Los Angeles Rams for tight end Mark Redman. Given that the Rams had eight tight ends at the start of the month, it’s no surprise they’d be open to getting rid of one of them. (As currently stands, the Rams have […]
Green Bay Packers News: It’s time for Jordan Love to ascend
Jordan Love is heading into his fourth season as the Packers’ starting quarterback, but in some ways, this feels like the first season where he’ll be asked to be the face of the franchise. 2023 was very much a trial period. He had to prove he could do the job, and ultimately he did. The […]
Packers will sign Kedon Slovis to practice squad as 3rd quarterback
After trading Kyle McCord away ahead of Sunday’s roster cut deadline, the Green Bay Packers have decided on which player will be their third quarterback to start the 2026 season. That player is the one who got out-dueled by McCord in last Friday’s preseason finale: former Cardinals quarterback Kedon Slovis. General manager Brian Gutekunst said […]
Get the best of Acme Packing Company on the new SB Nation app
It’s a big day for Acme Packing Company. Today, the SB Nation app is live, and it’s the best way to follow the Packers. You can download it by searching SB Nation for iOS or Android. A year ago, we made some big changes to our community, including offering fewer ads and the addition of […]
Who will be the Packers’ third quarterback?
The Green Bay Packers don’t have a third quarterback, and that’s weird. Half of the NFL kept three players at the position (four of them kept four, if you can believe it) at the cutdown deadline, when rosters shrank from 91 to 53 on Sunday. So for the Packers to have only rostered two players […]
NFL Cutdowns: Former Packers pre-draft visitors released on Sunday
I’ll keep this one short: The Green Bay Packers target their pre-draft visitors at a high clip, whether it’s the draft, as initial undrafted free agents or further down the line. For example, last cutdown cycle the team traded a pick for offensive linemen Darian Kinnard and picked up tight end Josh Whyle to the […]
Packers’ Nazir Stackhouse claimed by Titans
Only one of the Green Bay Packers’ players was claimed on waivers on Monday, as Nazir Stackhouse will now be a Tennessee Titan moving forward. The defensive lineman was signed to a significant UDFA contract in 2025, but was passed on the depth chart in 2026 by both Jonathan Ford and Anthony Campbell, two out-of-nowhere […]
Packers trade for RB Kaleb Johnson at cutdown deadline
The Green Bay Packers have added depth to their running back room on Sunday, as they’ve traded for former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kaleb Johnson. Johnson, a 23-year-old, was a third-round pick for the Steelers coming out of Iowa last season. Johnson ended up buried on Pittsburgh’s dept chart, though, following the team’s signings of […]
Packers Film Room, Preseason Week 3: Sturdivant goes for 6
The final preseason game is in the books, so I’m working to get into regular season shape by doing what I love doing the most: breaking down plays. It’s never quite as interesting in the preseason because the focus of the offense isn’t on sequencing in the same way we see in the regular season. […]
Packers fans’ reaction to new Rivalries uniforms is decidedly ‘meh’
It has been an eventful seven days for the Green Bay Packers. Looking back at the chaos of the last few days — between the final preseason game and the roster cut deadline on Sunday — it feels a bit bizarre to remember that the Packers released a new slate of alternate uniforms just six […]
Where is the weirdest or most remote place you’ve watched a Packers game?
If you’re a Green Bay Packers fan, you’re a die-hard. That pretty much comes with the territory. As a result, you probably will go to just about any length to watch your team play. I know I certainly have. Over the years, I’ve watched Packers games in some far-flung places. From following the 2021 Divisional […]
Jonathan Gannon’s Packers preseason pressure packages
The 2026 preseason has concluded, but the Green Bay Packers’ three games gave us a glimpse into the mind of Jonathan Gannon as the new defensive coordinator gears up for his first season calling the defense. While Gannon called a mostly vanilla preseason, he did throw a couple of interesting blitz calls out in the […]
Here’s how the Packers’ initial roster compares to previous years
There are only so many ways you can stack a 53 man roster. Despite plenty of handwringing year in and year out from fans and media alike as to what the roster will look like, the Packers’ initial roster every year is configured in more or less the same way. The same way, that is, […]
Green Bay Packers News: Final cuts are in, but the work has only just begun
Brian Gutekunst and the Green Bay Packers’ front office have their work cut out for them on cutdown day. It’s a tough 48 hours or so between the final preseason game and the deadline to trim a roster down to 53 players, and they were plenty busy on Sunday. Gutekunst and company made three trades, […]
Green Bay Packers announce initial 53-man roster of 2026
After much debate, the Green Bay Packers announced their first 53-man roster of the 2026 season after a day full of news. We’ll go position by position, showing you who made the team and the big information of the day. Quarterback Earlier today, the Packers traded third-string quarterback Kyle McCord to the Miami Dolphins for […]
Packers Roster Cut Tracker 2026
Sunday, August 30th is a big day for the NFL this year. In 2026, the league has set the deadline for teams to cut their rosters down from 90 players to 53 for Sunday at 6:00 PM Eastern Time (5:00 Central), an odd time compared to recent deadlines. Recent years have seen the league require […]
Packers trade for Rams TE Mark Redman
The Green Bay Packers have traded for former Los Angeles Rams tight end Mark Redman, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz. Redman, who played at Washington, San Diego State and Louisville at the college level, was signed as an undrafted free agent in 2025. So far, Redman hasn’t been active in an NFL regular-season game. […]
Packers RB Josh Jacobs placed on the NFL’s commissioner exempt list
ESPN’s Adam Schefter is reporting that Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs is being placed on the NFL’s commissioner exempt list, which means that he will not start on the team’s 53-man roster to open the season. At the time, there is no timeframe for a Jacobs suspension following the news earlier this week […]
Green Bay Packers officially win the Zaire Franklin-Colby Wooden trade
Earlier this offseason, the Green Bay Packers traded defensive lineman Colby Wooden, who was going into the final year of his rookie contract, for then-Indianapolis Colts linebacker Zaire Franklin. Since joining the Packers, Franklin has been the team’s starting Mike after Quay Walker signed with the Las Vegas Raiders in free agency, received a new contract and was […]
Packers waive rookie draft pick Domani Jackson
The Green Bay Packers are waiving rookie cornerback Domani Jackson at the cutdown deadline, according to CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz. Jackson, who was taken 201st overall in the draft by the team in April, had a poor performance in Green Bay’s preseason finale against the Arizona Cardinals after looking alright in his Week 2 debut. […]
Packers preseason star Kyle McCord traded to Miami Dolphins
You could argue that no one had a better preseason for the Green Bay Packers than quarterback Kyle McCord, who was able to put up a 102.4 passer rating after completing 46 of 70 passes for 446 yards and four touchdowns. McCord had a fairly quick rise in Green Bay, as he was battling for […]
Packers’ special teams units passed their preseason test
The Packers’ renovated their special teams operation this offseason, and their reworked approach is already paying dividends. Gone is Rich Bisaccia, embattled coordinator of (kind of) underperforming special teams units. Now those phases of the game fall under the purview of Cam Achord, recently of the New York Giants. How are things going so far? […]
