Dan Campbell thinks Jayden Reed is playing on Thanksgiving

Dan Campbell thinks Jayden Reed is playing on Thanksgiving

On Friday, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed began practicing with the team after undergoing surgery to fix both a foot and a collarbone issue. Within 21 days of that date, the Packers have the make the decision of whether or not to call up Reed from the injured reserve, where he is currently, to the 53-man roster.

While Packers head coach Matt LaFleur has dodged the question about whether Reed will play on Thanksgiving, which is reportedly around the timeline of when the team was expecting Reed to return to action, one man made a proclamation on Tuesday:...

Josh Jacobs, Keisean Nixon to be game-time decisions for Green Bay Packers

Josh Jacobs, Keisean Nixon to be game-time decisions for Green Bay Packers

In his post-walkthrough press conference on Tuesday, Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur provided updates on the team’s key injuries. According to LaFleur, both running back Josh Jacobs (knee) and cornerback Keisean Nixon (neck) are going to be game-time decisions versus the Detroit Lions, so you can go ahead and assume that they’ll be listed as questionable on the Packers’ final injury report of the week on Wednesday.

Jacobs missed last week’s action after suffering a bone bruise against the New York Giants the week prior. In his place, Emanuel Wilson took 39 carries to Chris Brooks’ 9 against...

Packers-Lions Injury Report: Keisean Nixon limited in walkthrough

Packers-Lions Injury Report: Keisean Nixon limited in walkthrough

Green Bay Packers starting cornerback Keisean Nixon, who left Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings with a stinger, was upgraded to a limited participant in practice on Tuesday. Tuesday was just a walkthrough, and since the Packers didn’t practice on Monday, both listings are estimates.

It seems highly unlikely that Green Bay will host a full practice this week, as they will be traveling to Detroit tomorrow. For reference, the Lions had walkthroughs on both Monday and Tuesday.

Beyond the Nixon update, there were no changes in status for Green Bay today. The following players were estimated non-participants:

Week 13 NFL Power Rankings: Packers tread water after Vikings win

Week 13 NFL Power Rankings: Packers tread water after Vikings win

The Green Bay Packers didn’t make up much distance in national power rankings this week. Despite beating the Minnesota Vikings, it seems like analysts are only giving the team about half credit for beating J.J. McCarthy. Which, to be honest, is fair.

Let’s take a look at this week’s batch of power rankings, including some highlights from the highest and lowest spots the Packers were placed in.

Detroit Lions All-Pro to miss Packers game

Detroit Lions All-Pro to miss Packers game

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell announced on Tuesday that safety Kerby Joseph, a 2024 All-Pro who led the NFL in interceptions last season, will miss the team’s Thanksgiving game against the Green Bay Packers. Joseph, along with Brian Branch, is considered to be half of one of the NFL’s best safety pairings in the NFL.

Joseph has been dealing with a knee injury, which has kept him off the field since October 12th against the Kansas City Chiefs. Without Joseph, the Lions’ replacement starter has been Thomas Harper, who was claimed off waivers by Detroit at the roster cutdown...

Christian Watson looks like a new man in his return from a torn ACL

Christian Watson looks like a new man in his return from a torn ACL

Today is the 325th day since Christian Watson tore his ACL.

I’ll be the first to admit I was among the doubters. Seeing Watson crumpled on the Lambeau Field turf, I thought the great experiment was at an end. Watson, the small-school prospect on whom the Packers had spent two second round picks, had been an exciting force during his first three years with the team, capable of blazing past any and all defenders with his mind-boggling speed. True, he’d struggled with injuries and inconsistency, but in year three he’d settled into a small but consistent role, putting up a...

What’s changed since Week 1? How the Lions have succeeded, struggled in 2025

Hello, Green Bay Packers fans. My name is Erik Schlitt, and I’m the managing editor at Pride of Detroit, Acme Packing Company’s Lions-based brother site at SB Nation. I’ve been covering the Lions for over a decade and am in my eighth credentialed season. SB Nation asked APC and POD to each have a writer from enemy territory get rival fans up to date with where their Thanksgiving opponent stands heading into the big game, and I’ve taken on that responsibility.

In this piece, I’ll do my best to walk you through some of the things the Lions do well,...

Tuesday Cheese Curds: Emanuel Wilson answers the call

Tuesday Cheese Curds: Emanuel Wilson answers the call

Emanuel Wilson is one of the best stories to emerge from the Packers’ Week 12 victory over the Minnesota Vikings.

His unexpected 107-yard outburst is the Packers’ highest rushing total of the season, and it caps off a long road to something resembling stardom for Wilson. Once a small school star, Wilson was the man of the moment in Josh Jacobs’ stead, filling in more than admirably as the Packers ground the Minnesota Vikings’ defensive front to powder.

It was the prettiest or most explosive rushing performance you’ll see, but it got the job done for the Packers on a...

Packers Depth Chart Update: Green Bay’s offense gets even heavier

Packers Depth Chart Update: Green Bay’s offense gets even heavier

The Green Bay Packers strolled to a win over the Minnesota Vikings that only saw their defense play a total of 44 plays, so the team should be relatively rested for their upcoming game against the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving. Let’s take you through all of the changes on the team’s depth chart, along with how the team responded to some injuries in the game.

As always, cells contain players’ weekly snap counts. These do not include spikes, kneels or plays with pre-snap penalties (like a false start) but do include plays with post-snap penalties (like holding). Cells in red...

Packers Film Room: How Green Bay attacks the perimeter

Packers Film Room: How Green Bay attacks the perimeter

In this space, we take a look at the Green Bay Packers’ passing game, be it ever so humble.

The Packers came into this game with Jordan Love banged up, and there seemed to be a strong desire to get him out of this game, taking a minimal amount of hits. At least, that was likely the hope. They came out of the gate throwing a little heavier, with a pass rate of 62.5% in the 1st quarter. After it was clear they wouldn’t need to do much more than run the ball and let their defense slowly drain the...

Packers Discussion: What will Green Bay’s divisional record be?

Packers Discussion: What will Green Bay’s divisional record be?

It’s officially Week 13 in the NFL, and the Green Bay Packers have only played two divisional games. That means the Packers will play four division games in the remaining six weeks, and just played their first of three division games in a row. The Packers beat the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday and are headed to Detroit on a short week for a Thanksgiving matchup with the Lions before facing the Chicago Bears back at Lambeau the following week.

The Green Bay Packers only won one divisional game last season (and only won it thanks to Karl Brook’s middle finger)...
