Packers Injury Report: LB designated to return from IR

Packers Injury Report: LB designated to return from IR

The Green Bay Packers have officially opened the practice window for linebacker Nick Niemann, who went on the injured reserve with a pectoral injury, to return. He will have 21 days to practice with the Packers before the team will need to make the decision to either end his season or bring him up to the 53-man roster. During those 21 days, Green Bay is free to call him up to the active roster.

Niemann was initially replaced by Kristian Welch, both of whom are more special teams contributors than actual linebackers, but Welch is now on the injured reserve...

Packers announce 7 more moves, up to 14 in Week 18

The Green Bay Packers announced seven more roster moves on Wednesday, which doesn’t include the seven that the team made on Tuesday. In total, here are the 14 changes to the roster, so far, in Week 18.

Signed to 53-man roster

  • QB Clayton Tune
  • DT Jonathan Ford (waiver)
  • CB Shemar Bartholomew
  • CB/S Jaylin Simpson
  • S Johnathan Baldwin

Officially, the Packers have promoted four practice squad players to the 53-man roster to play in the team’s final regular-season game, which has no impact on their playoff seeding. Green Bay also waiver-claimed Jonathan Ford from the...

Packers awarded former All-Pro CB Trevon Diggs on waivers

Packers awarded former All-Pro CB Trevon Diggs on waivers

The Green Bay Packers will get a reinforcement ahead of the playoffs. On Wednesday, the Packers were awarded cornerback Trevon Diggs after he was waived by the Dallas Cowboys on Tuesday, reportedly for staying back in his hometown of Washington after Christmas despite the team denying his request.

As we covered earlier in the week, Diggs has been about an average cornerback this year, but he’s historically had more production on the ball than the Packers’ group of cornerbacks. On top of that, Green Bay has already placed Kamal Hadden on the injured reserve after his injury last week and...

Packers Day 2 defensive line targets for the 2026 NFL Draft

Packers Day 2 defensive line targets for the 2026 NFL Draft

With all of the injuries to their roster this season, some major weaknesses have started to pop up for the Green Bay Packers, but nothing has looked like a bigger priority ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft than help on the defensive line.

Last Saturday’s loss to the Baltimore Ravens proved that, with the Packers’ defense allowing 307 rushing yards and four touchdowns on the ground. While Derrick Henry and Patrick Ricard are a unique matchup, the Packers have looked particularly susceptible against the run this year, ranking 20th in defensive DVOA against the run this season.

The return of...

Wednesday Cheese Curds: Coaching carousel begins to spin

Wednesday Cheese Curds: Coaching carousel begins to spin

Here at the close of 2025, it’s only natural to look ahead to 2026. How will the Packers fare next season? What will their cap situation look like? Who’s going to be coaching the team?

I find the last question especially compelling since there’s really no way to predict the wild world of the NFL coaching carousel. In Green Bay, Matt LaFleur figures to be a good bet to be the head man for the Packers next season, but as the Packers limp toward the finish, it’s hard to say he’s a 100%, stone-cold lock.

It’s even less sure that...

What the Packers’ salary cap situation could look like in 2026

What the Packers’ salary cap situation could look like in 2026

Most of this article was written before the Green Bay Packers made a bunch of moves at the start of Week 18, but they shouldn’t materially change my objective of this article: to give you a picture of what the Packers’ 2026 offseason will probably look like from a cap situation.

There’s a lot of bad information out there about the Packers’ cap situation, in part because the information is only partial. So I want to do a fairly deep dive into what Green Bay’s actual outlook is going into next year.

To set the table, here are the members...

Packers Discussion: Trevon Diggs is available

Packers Discussion: Trevon Diggs is available

I had some things that needed addressing earlier today, so thank you to Mr. Cheezl for making a Feed post about the Trevon Diggs situation, but let’s make this a full post. Diggs, a 2021 All-Pro and two-time Pro Bowl cornerback, has been made available after the Dallas Cowboys waived him on Tuesday.

Here’s what you need to know:

First of all, he’s a ballhawk. He initially enrolled at Alabama as a receiver but ended up converting to outside cornerback with the Crimson Tide. Depending on who you talk to and their opinion on ball production, Diggs has been a...

Packers make 7 roster moves ahead of Week 18’s action

Packers make 7 roster moves ahead of Week 18’s action

The Green Bay Packers have shaken up their roster. Obviously, the team was going to have to make some new additions to the 53-man roster, after both defensive tackle Jordon Riley and cornerback Kamal Hadden suffered season-ending injuries against the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday. On Tuesday, both Hadden and Riley were placed on injured reserve, which gave the Packers three open roster spots on the 53-man roster, to go along with Kristian Welch’s placement on the IR last week.

Green Bay officially announced the addition of defensive tackle Jonathan Ford, a 2022 seventh-round pick of the Packers. Ford was claimed...

The NFL Achieves Parody

The NFL Achieves Parody

This is the dumbest NFL season I can ever remember. To be clear, what I mean is that it’s a dumb season because all of the teams are dumb, even the good ones, which does make things interesting, to be sure, but also a bit frustrating.

In a normal season, there is a Mahomes or Brady that you can count on to be there in the end. They are the villain that everyone else is shooting for, and they provide us with the general narrative for the season. This year is more like the movie “Sing,” a terrible kids movie...

Week 18 Power Rankings: Packers fall out of top 10

Week 18 Power Rankings: Packers fall out of top 10

It seems like everyone got the memo after the Green Bay Packers allowed the Baltimore Ravens to rush for over 300 yards against them in their last home game of the year: Drop Green Bay from the top 10 in your power rankings.

12 is the magic number for the Packers, as 8 of the 10 power rankings we took a look at had Green Bay ranked as the 12th-best team in the league at the moment.

The lone exception is The Ringer, which barely has the Packers inside their top 10. Here’s what they had...
