Jamin Davis was added to Green Bay’s practice squad on Tuesday
The Green Bay Packers announced on Tuesday that they let go of practice squad linebacker Chris Russell, who originally signed with the Packers as an undrafted free agent in mid-August, in order to clear a roster spot for the addition of former first-round linebacker Jamin Davis. Davis, the 19th overall pick in the 2021 draft, turned a breakout redshirt junior season at Kentucky — his first season as a starter — into a soaring draft stock with the help of his 4.47-second 40-yard dash time and a 42” vertical...
Should Eric Wilson keep the starting job when Quay Walker returns?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Green Bay Packers fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
So far in his brief NFL career, Quay Walker has not lived up to his first-round draft pedigree. The first of two round-one picks by the Green Bay Packers in 2022, Walker has taken every snap on defense that he has been available for this season, wearing the...
Brooks signed with the Packers practice squad on September 3, but his role has grown steadily since.
Chris Brooks has a limited window to show his stuff in Green Bay. That’s the reality for a practice squad player signed to the active roster as an injury replacement.
Brooks played a season-high 17 snaps on offense on Sunday, carrying the ball four times four 16 yards and catching a pass. His five total touches were a season high as well, and it was Brooks, not Josh Jacobs or Emanuel Wilson, that was on the field for the lions’ share of the...
The Packers workhorse back hammered away at the Jaguars until they broke.
Last week, ESPN columnist Bill Barnwell suggested the Packers might not be getting their money’s worth for Josh Jacobs. On Sunday, we saw exactly why the Packers would disagree.
Even if it was only Jacobs’ second 100-yard game of the year, it was the timeliness and consistency of his runs that made the difference. With Jordan Love on the sideline and Malik Willis in need of a helping hand, Jacobs was a sledgehammer in the backfield, hammering away at the Jaguars defense until he finally broke through for...
Celebrating National Tight Ends Day in style
The Green Bay Packers walked out of Jacksonville with a victory and a nice 6-2 record. But at what cost?
Jordan Love was hobbled early in the game and was practically immobile when he got pulled from the game in the 3rd quarter. With Love limited physically, the Packers were also limited in what they could run offensively. They eventually turned to Malik Willis - who hit a huge play on the game-winning drive - but Love took the bulk of the snaps, so that’s where we’ll focus today.
Despite the interception, Love...
The Giants and Steelers were once divisional rivals, but this will be just the 12th game between the two teams since the AFL-NFL merger.
This evening, Monday Night Football features two long-standing NFL franchises in opposite conferences matching up with one another. Once, long ago, the New York Giants and Pittsburgh Steelers were divisional rivals in the NFL’s East division, and the two teams played each other twice each year.
Then, in 1970, everything changed with the AFL-NFL merger. The Steelers (along with the Cleveland Browns) were picked to move over to the AFC, joining the incoming AFL teams in...
Love’s injury is not serious, according to an MRI he underwent on Monday
While Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur didn’t say much about his team’s injuries during his Monday press conference, and even stated his concern that his staff might be leaking information to the media, reports continued to surface about the injuries the Packers suffered during their Week 8 win versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. Notably, reports have surfaced about the status of quarterback Jordan Love, running back Josh Jacobs, cornerback Jaire Alexander and safety Evan Williams, who are all starters on the team.
[According to NFL Network’s...
The Packers’ backup came through with yet another clutch performance and delivered a perfect throw on an impressive playcall to get the team a W.
Once again, one of the biggest plays that the Green Bay Packers ran wasn’t on Matt LaFleur’s call sheet coming into game day. Two weeks ago against the Arizona Cardinals, the Packers dialed up a play to Christian Watson that went for a 44-yard touchdown, but that play was not part of the week’s install. On Sunday, in a tie game against the Jacksonville Jaguars and with a backup quarterback on the field, the coaches...
The Packers beat the Jaguars 30-27 in Week 8 to improve to 6-2. Check out their complete schedule and results for the 2024 season. All times are Central Time.
The Green Bay Packers are 6-2 through Week 8 of the 2024 NFL season. They sit in second place in the NFC North. They beat the Jaguars 30-27 this past week.
There’s optimism that Love can suit up against the Detroit Lions on Sunday
While it’s always worrisome when a starting quarterback doesn’t finish a game, there’s some clear optimism in Green Bay that Packers quarterback Jordan Love didn’t suffer a serious injury against the Jacksonville Jaguars in the team’s win on Sunday. Officially, Love was pulled from the game with a groin injury, which originally was aggravated during the first half in Jacksonville. Love attempted to play through the injury for several series, as he even lined up under center in the second half versus Jacksonville before backup quarterback Malik...
Chicago’s last-second loss gives the Packers a little more wiggle room in the NFC playoff race
We’re halfway through the season and the 2-5 New York Giants playing on Monday Night Football shouldn’t impact the NFC playoff race, one way or another. With that in mind, let’s take a look at how the NFC is shaking out, both on a conference and divisional level. Because some of these divisions (*cough* NFC North *cough*) are much stronger than others (*cough* NFC West *cough*) it’s important to make that distinction, even this early in the 2024 season.
The Green Bay Packers continue...
Digging into the big 51-yard play to set up a Packers victory in Jacksonville
With 1:13 remaining in a tie game, the Green Bay Packers faced 2nd & 6 from their own 34-yard line with backup quarterback Malik Willis under center. But let’s back up for a second. In fact, let’s back up to exactly 1 quarter earlier.
With 1:13 remaining in the 3rd quarter in a game in which the Packers were trailing 17-13, they faced 1st & 10 on their own 42-yard line with Willis. They’re in 11 personnel (1 RB, 1 TE, 3 WR) in a tight...
