It’s time for this week’s edition of detailed snap counts, where we go through exactly where players lined up on the field on all live-action plays. This includes plays where there were post-snap penalties, but excludes kneels and spikes.
As always, the numbers in cells correlate to the number of snaps played in each week. Cells highlighted in yellow mean that a player dropped out of the game due to injury. Cells highlighted in red mean that a player missed the game due to injury.
Let’s go position-by-position, breaking down how the Green Bay Packers’ depth chart is changing.
You’d think that the opposite would be true, but since the loss of slot receiver Jayden Reed, the Packers have actually played more three-receiver sets (11 personnel). In Week 1 and Week 2, 56 percent of their offensive snaps involved two or fewer receivers on the field (12 personnel, 21 personnel and 13 personnel). In Week 3 and Week 4, that number dropped to just 34 percent. So about two-fifths of their two-receiver sets have been given up to three-receiver sets in the last two weeks. That’s pretty notable.
It seems like the Packers came into the year wanting to be more of a multiple-tight-end team, but over time, they’ve conceded that their third receiver, even with Reed out, is more valuable to their offense than a second tight end would be. With Christian Watson (knee) and Reed (collarbone, foot) returns likely coming during the regular season, it’s hard to imagine that Green Bay would revert back to its Week 1 and Week 2 mentality anytime soon.
No Savion Williams wildcat snaps this week.
There’s pretty significant movement in the running back room. Emanuel Wilson had 20 more snaps than Chris Brooks in this game, more than Wilson’s total snaps from Week 1 through Week 3. The Packers will eventually have to drop one of Wilson or Brooks for MarShawn Lloyd to return to the active roster. Green Bay’s special teams personnel is already less than a loaded deck, and Brooks is one of the team’s key contributors in the kicking game. Meanwhile, Wilson doesn’t contribute at all to teams. It’ll be interesting to see which direction the Packers go.
Green Bay also really leaned into playing receivers in the backfield in split-back gun looks this week, too. Coming into this game, the Packers only played seven reps like that all season. In Week 4, they added six more. Savion Williams, who now has 11 reps out of the backfield this year, is Green Bay’s primary receiver who lines up like a back.
Romeo Doubs remains primarily an outside receiver, but he did play 11 snaps in the slot this week compared to just 13 combined over the first three games of 2025. The Packers were able to line him up in the slot more because they played tight ends at outside receiver frequently against the Cowboys. They played just 16...
