As someone who has hand-charted the Green Bay Packers’ rotations on offense and defense this year, I want to go position-by-position through the Packers’ roster, detail how the depth chart stands (at least as of Week 18) and try to tell the story of the team that will be facing off against the Chicago Bears on Saturday night. I’m going to try to stack this depth chart as true as I can, but there are times when the true answer is that two (or more) players really share a role. We’ll get into that and all the nitty-gritty, including how...

A month ago, Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley said that he bets that defensive end Micah Parsons, who tore his ACL during the 2025 regular season, will break the NFL’s sack record in 2026. Hafley might not be around to see that plan through, though, as he’s been a hot name on the coaching market.

Teams are not allowed to interview coaching candidates who are on teams that play on wild card weekend until next week, but that doesn’t mean that they can’t announce that those interviews will be scheduled. So while Hafley hasn’t spent any time with...

The Green Bay Packers have officially announced that the following players will be questionable going into this weekend’s playoff action against the Chicago Bears: quarterback Malik Willis (shoulder/hamstring), receiver Dontayvion Wicks (concussion), right tackle Zach Tom (back/knee), defensive tackle Warren Brinson (foot), linebacker Nick Niemann (pectoral) and safety Javon Bullard (knee). Earlier this week, LaFleur stated that both Willis and Tom are expected to suit up versus the Bears, and he also noted on Thursday that Tom was simply given a rest day today, the reason for his non-participation in practice.

The fact that Wicks is still in the concussion...

After a four-game losing streak to end the regular season, the Green Bay Packers now have their sights on the playoffs, starting with a Wild Card matchup against their bitter rivals, the Chicago Bears. This rivalry is back to an elite level after, frankly, several decades of dominance by one side or the other, and the two teams will meet for just the third time in the postseason in their history.

Even if Green Bay can win on Saturday night, the road gets even tougher if they want to find a way to a Super Bowl title. Because they are...

The Chicago Bears have released their final injury report of the week, leading up to their wild card matchup against the Green Bay Packers. In it, they listed defensive back C.J. Gadner-Johnson out with a concussion, an injury that he suffered last week in the regular season finale.

Gardner-Johnson has been starting in the slot role for the Bears this year in defensive coordinator Dennis Allen’s blitz-happy scheme. Without Gardner-Johnson, the next man up, if healthy, would be Kyler Gordon. Gordon, though, has only recently been designated to return from the injured reserve from a groin injury. This week. Gordon...

All year, I’ve had fun tracking what I call the “Hafley Cam” during games. You know it. It’s the shot of Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley up in the crow’s nest during a big defensive moment. On my podcast, I placed a few silly prop bets related to the Hafley Cam. Do we see him drinking Diet Coke more than once this season? What about a Redbull? Another prop was related to Hafley being talked about as a head coach candidate during a Hafley Cam shot. While we fell just short on our beverage props this year (one instance total...

With Saturday’s Wild Card game being the third meeting between the Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears over the span of 6 weeks, I have a pretty good feel for who these teams are and what we’re going to see them do this weekend. Sure, there will be wrinkles and variations and changeups and all that jazz — it is the playoffs, after all — but I certainly don’t anticipate any wholesale changes for either team.

I’ll likely get into a more in-depth attack plan in the next couple of days, but, for today, I wanted to take a...

The calls are starting to come in for Jeff Hafley. On Thursday, news broke that the Green Bay Packers received their first request to interview Hafley for an NFL head coaching job, as the Tennessee Titans plan to consider the current Packers defensive coordinator for their open position.

Adam Schefter of ESPN first reported the news, noting that the Titans are also requesting interviews with San Francisco 49ers DC Robert Saleh and Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith. Interestingly, all three men have been head coaches at previous points in their careers; Saleh and Smith coached the New York Jets...

While the campaign to get Daniel Whelan named as the First-Team All-Pro punter for the 2025 season is in full swing, let’s take a moment to appreciate how impressive a campaign the Green Bay Packers’ third-year punter put up this year. Whelan’s rankings in the context of the NFL are tremendous and he absolutely deserves All-Pro status, but what he has done in comparison to previous single-season franchise records is mind-boggling.

Whelan finished the season with 49 total punts for 2,533 gross yards. That’s an average of 51.7 yards per punt, a number that stands alone in the Packers’ record...

The Miami Dolphins’ general manager search seems to be moving quickly. On Wednesday night, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the Dolphins have advanced to the second round of interviews, all in-person, for the position and are down to four candidates for the job. For what it’s worth, Miami “mutually parted ways” with their previous general manager, Chris Grier, on Halloween, so they’ve had significantly more runway than the Atlanta Falcons, the only other team with a general manager opening, who fired theirs on Sunday.

The finalists for the job, per Schefter, include Jon-Eric Sullivan, the Packers’ vice president of player...

It sounds like we’re going to have the best version of Josh Jacobs that we’ve seen in weeks when he plays the Chicago Bears on Saturday. The Green Bay Packers running back has been dealing with a knee contusion and swelling problems following the contusion since Week 11, when he was injured on MetLife Stadium’s turf.

In the locker room today, Jacobs stated that the injury “limited me a lot more than I’m gonna tell.”

Jacobs missed all of Week 12’s action against the Minnesota Vikings. He played the remaining five games of the year before taking off Week 18,...

If Trevon Diggs does end up replacing one of the Green Bay Packers’ cornerbacks this week against the Chicago Bears, don’t expect it to be Keisean Nixon. Defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley had some strong praise for Nixon in his weekly presser on Wednesday.

I think he’ll play a great game. You know, I know he’s super locked in. I know he’s kind of a hero in that first game. I know that meant a lot to him, especially in the rivalry. I know he hopes that he probably had that last play of regulation back, but that’s life as...
