The Green Bay Packers placed defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt on the injured reserve on Friday, which many (including myself) thought was a move to make room for the addition of receiver Jayden Reed from the injured reserve. General manager Brian Gutekunst seemed to have other plans, though, as the Packers actually used that roster spot to claim nose tackle Quinton Bohanna from the Seattle Seahawks.

Bohanna is now on his fifth NFL team, originally beginning his career with the Dallas Cowboys as a sixth-round pick in 2021. Since then, he’s spent time with the Detroit Lions, Tennessee Titans and Seattle...

The Green Bay Packers announced on Friday that defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt has been placed on the injured reserve, where he’s expected to spend the remainder of the 2025 season. Wyatt has been the team’s starting under tackle this year, a role that Kenny Clark frequently played in 2024 with T.J. Slaton filling in as the starting nose tackle. Wyatt went down with an ankle injury against the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving, which the Packers’ staff has talked about as a season-ender.

With Wyatt off the 53-man roster, this now gives the Packers an open roster spot to play with....

The Green Bay Packers have officially dropped no game status for both defensive tackle Karl Brooks and linebacker Quay Walker. Brooks only played four snaps against the Minnesota Vikings two weeks ago and was inactive against the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving, but is now set to be the replacement starter in place of Devonte Wyatt. Walker, meanwhile, has fully missed the last two games with a stinger. Both coming back to the lineup will be a big boost for the Packers, who are hoping to shut down one of the better running games in the NFL on Sunday against the...

If there’s any way that the Green Bay Packers can make a statement this Sunday against the Chicago Bears, it’s by stopping the run.

The Bears made their case as a legitimate NFC contender on Black Friday, winning convincingly against the Philadelphia Eagles thanks to a combined 281 rushing yards and 6.0 yards per carry as a team. Despite facing a very talented defensive front seven, Bears head coach Ben Johnson schemed up an impressive run game that features plenty of eye candy and some legitimate performances from the likes of Darnell Wright and Jonah Jackson in the trenches.

That...

There is no team with whom the Packers have a deeper, longer, and richer history than the Chicago Bears. The Packers have been playing the Bears for more than a century, and in that time there have been some truly outstanding performances. Here’s a look at a few of them, dating to

Most passing yards – 402 (Brett Favre, 1993)

Here’s an odd but true fact to start off: Brett Favre only passed for 400 yards once as a member of the Packers. Even in his epic Monday Night Football performance after the death of his father he only threw...

This week I am catching up after a busier than normal holiday week with some week 12 and week 13 film breakdowns, starting with the Green Bay Packers’ defensive performance in Week 12.

The Minnesota Vikings ducked out of Lambeau after a Sunday afternoon loss 23-6 loss at Lambeau to the Packers and a game in which quarterback J.J. McCarty allegedly suffered a concussion that sent him back to the bench for week 13. To add insult to injury, the defense intercepted him twice in the fourth quarter and sacked him five times throughout the course of the game. McCarthy...

As the stable, consistent, steadily winning franchise in the NFC North, the Green Bay Packers are predictably the team that every new coach in the division talks about when taking the job. When he was hired by the Chicago Bears in 2004, Lovie Smith famously stated that his number one goal was to beat the Packers.

It doesn’t ever get personal, however. Or at least it didn’t before Ben Johnson took over as the Bears head coach in the offseason, coming over from his role as the Detroit Lions’ offensive coordinator. Johnson’s comment about how he “enjoyed beating Matt LaFleur...

Finally, there’s an exciting matchup again on a non-holiday Thursday Night Football game. It has been a few weeks since that was the case, but tonight the Dallas Cowboys and Detroit Lions face off in a game that will all but eliminate the loser from playoff contention.

The Lions come into week 14 with a 7-5 record and in third place in the NFC North. Their loss to the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving Day cost them dearly in their hopes for a playoff run, also pushing them 1.5 games behind the San Francisco 49ers for the last playoff spot...

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur stayed away from it. Defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley stayed away from it. But offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich was willing to make a statement about what Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson said in his opening press conference.

If you need a reminder, Johnson was surprisingly hired by the Bears after being the belle of the ball in the 2025 coaching cycle. Johnson was able to net a contract paying him $13 million per year as a first-time head coach, which is likely more than LaFleur, who is 75-36-1 in the NFL and going...

I have seen many a Green Bay Packer fan referring to the Chicago Bears and their lofty 9-3 record as “frauds.” I understand the impulse and would like nothing more than to join everyone in ridiculing the flaws of our neighbors to the South, but I don’t think that “fraud” is the right word. It may merely be a matter of degree, and I think it’s fine to call them “lucky,” but “fraud” is a bit much, for several reasons.

The most fraudulent team I’ve seen in recent years is the 2022 Minnesota Vikings, which I covered here. They were...

Here’s the bad news up front: Green Bay Packers safety Javon Bullard, who has been starting for the team as a nickelback this year, went from a limited participant on Wednesday to a non-participant on Thursday. His injury designation remains as “ankle,” so it’s possible that he’s had a setback with the ankle injury that he’s been pushing through for several weeks now.

If Bullard can’t go on Sunday, the next man up in the slot will be cornerback Nate Hobbs, who himself has been limited this week with a knee injury and hasn’t played for several weeks. If Hobbs...

Green Bay Packers safety Javon Bullard has been dealing with a nagging ankle injury recently, but he hasn’t missed any action to date. After the team’s fully padded practice on Wednesday, though, Bullard was a non-participant in practice on Thursday, along with receiver Savion Williams, defensive end Lukas Van Ness and defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt (who will eventually go on the injured reserve).

If Bullard misses this week’s game against the Chicago Bears, it will be the first game he has missed in full in 2025. Previously, he dropped out of Week 3 and Week 6, but at least he...
