The Green Bay Packers made a swap on their 53-man roster on Monday. The team placed tight end John FitzPatrick on the injured reserve, following his Achilles tear, and has activated defensive end Collin Oliver from the physically unable to perform list. Oliver missed all of camp with a hamstring injury, but had his 21-day practice window open up on December 1st. Today was the deadline to activate him, or the rookie fifth-round pick would have reverted to the injured reserve for the remainder of the season.

With the FitzPatrick injury, the Packers only have one healthy tight end on...

As we do every week in this space, we take a look at the Packers passing game from the previous game. I like to start these off by looking at Jordan Love’s passing chart from NFL Next Gen, but this week we get Malik Willis’ passing chart, because that’s what they had.

That is what I expect from a Malik Willis passing chart. Willis was in the game for 46 snaps, tallying 11 passing attempts and 10 rushing attempts. When he was throwing, it was quick game or calculated pushes of the ball downfield. There were certainly things that were...

NBC surely expected a great quarterback matchup when they decided to put next Saturday’s matchup between the Green Bay Packers and the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday night for a broadcast on Peacock. After all, Jordan Love vs. Lamar Jackson is a great one on paper, especially with both teams in the playoff hunt.

Now there are major questions about both starting quarterbacks’ availability for the week 17 game. Love suffered a concussion agains the Bears last Saturday whole Jackson injured his back on Sunday Night Football, which could lead to backups starting for both teams.

At least these are two...

It’s official. Green Bay Packers tight end John FitzPatrick tore his Achilles tendon, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, which was the expectation from his injury on Saturday night. Since Tucker Kraft went down with an ACL tear, FitzPatrick and Luke Musgrave have shared the “starting” tight end role on the team, with FitzPatrick being more of a run-blocker and Musgrave being more of a pass-catcher.

Beyond being down both Kraft and FitzPatrick for the remainder of the season, the Minnesota Vikings claimed Ben Sims, after playing three games for the Packers, and Josh Whyle is currently in the NFL’s concussion protocol....

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson hasn’t been himself this season. After rushing for 63 yards per game over the last six seasons, the two-time MVP has only averaged 30 rushing yards per game in 2025, in part because of a hamstring injury that he suffered in the first month of the year. On Sunday Night Football against the New England Patriots, though, his injury situation became more serious.

Jackson left the game with a back injury, which the Ravens stated made him questionable for the rest of the game. When Baltimore came out of the half, though, it was still...

With the Detroit Lions losing to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, the Green Bay Packers need to lose both games to finish the year, against the Baltimore Ravens and Minnesota Vikings, while the Lions win out for Green Bay to miss the postseason. As of now, the New York Times/The Athletic playoff simulator gives the Packers a 94 percent chance to make the postseason. Even if the team loses its next two, finishing the year on a 0-4 stretch, the simulator has Green Bay making the playoffs 76 percent of the time.

Really, it just boils down to this: The...

Green Bay Packers 2024 first-round pick Jordan Morgan will likely be the team’s next starting left tackle in 2026, as current starter Rasheed Walker is set to become a free agent this offseason and will likely command a multi-year contract in the range of $20 million per year. With the Packers functionally having no cap space in 2026, even after accounting for a projected cap casualty release of center Elgton Jenkins, Morgan will more than likely slide into Walker’s spot next year (and for at least 2027, too).

Going into this week’s game against the Chicago Bears, though, Morgan had...

After the Green Bay Packers choked away the game against the Chicago Bears on Saturday, Bears receiver DJ Moore, who caught the game-winning touchdown, was given a game ball by head coach Ben Johnson. In the video that the team took of the game ball ceremony in the locker room, Moore was seen dancing around in a foam cheese grater hat, an obvious jab at Packers fans wearing their iconic cheeseheads.

But these hats are getting some burn outside of the locker room, too. On Sunday, Chicago quarterback Caleb Williams was handing out meals and was seen wearing the exact...

Green Bay Packers backup quarterback Malik Willis was shaken up on a sack to end the second half against the Chicago Bears, when he came into the game after starter Jordan Love left with an injury. On Sunday, head coach Matt LaFleur confirmed that Willis is dealing with a shoulder injury (likely to his throwing arm), a less-than-ideal situation for a team that is fighting for their playoff lives.

LaFleur gave no updates on Love today, stating that it’s tough to project how quickly a player will pass through concussion protocol. For example, tight end Josh Whyle was concussed against...

In his Sunday press conference, Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur confirmed that he’s talked to general manager Brian Gutekunst and has come up with “a plan” for what the team will do at the tight end position moving forward. The position has been through a lot of changes this season, with the most recent being John FitzPatrick’s Achilles injury.

FitzPatrick is likely to join Tucker Kraft on the injured reserve soon. Beyond just those injuries, Josh Whyle missed last week’s game with a concussion. On top of that, Ben Sims, whom the team tried to get back on...

Well, that game stunk. The Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears met Saturday night at Soldier Field in a game that would see the winner take sole possession of the NFC North. It was windy, it was cold, and the game was off to a slow start. With the Packers up 6-0, Jordan Love went down after a play that was flagged for roughing the passer. After Love was ruled out with a concussion, backup Malik Willis kept the team in it, and then the collapse happened. The Bears bested the Packers in OT, 22-16, and retained control of the...

For Green Bay Packers fans still licking the wounds after Saturday’s disappointing and frustrating loss to the Chicago Bears, the good or bad news is that there is still a lot more football to be played in Week 16. Sunday brings another 12 games, and one of those stands out well above the rest as one that Packers fans should be watching closely.

That game comes in the late afternoon time slot and will be on most CBS affiliates across the country. It’s time to cheer for Aaron Rodgers again, Packers fans — he will lead the Pittsburgh Steelers into...
