There are zero implications for the rest of the Green Bay Packers season based on what happens on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. However, that doesn’t mean it won’t be an excellent opportunity for some intriguing players lower on the depth chart to put up some good film.

Despite Jordan Love being cleared from concussion protocol, head coach Matt LaFleur announced that third-string QB Clayton Tune will be starting in Week 18. That’s a clear indication that the vast majority of starters will be resting to prep for the wild card round against either the Chicago Bears or Philadelphia Eagles....

The Green Bay Packers have not been shy about churning their roster in 2025, and perhaps the most notable in-season acquisition is one of their most recent. With the cornerback group ailing and Trevon Diggs suddenly on the market, the Packers claimed him on waivers to add to a room that desperately needs bodies — and players who can get their hands on footballs.

That is probably Diggs’ greatest strength, after all. The former second-round draft pick does not have an interception this season, but he had at least three picks and at least 14 pass defenses in each of...

If you weren’t painfully hungover or watching the college football playoffs on New Year’s Day, you probably saw some comments that Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich made about first-round rookie receiver Matthew Golden. Let’s not sugarcoat it. Here’s the full exchange:

Reporter: Long-term, what does [Golden] have to do to have a bigger piece of this offense?

Stenavich: I think right now, like, he will. And the good thing is that the last couple of weeks you’ve seen just like his rapport with [quarterback] Jordan [Love], making plays out in practice. But it’s tough right...

NFL draft prospects have until January 14th to declare for the 2026 draft, but some of these players are already making their decisions clear.

From 2019 to 2021, before the extra eligibility for Covid seasons, NIL payments and the transfer portal really started to kick in, the league averaged 126 underclassmen declarations per class. From 2023 t0 2025, though, that number dropped to just an average of 70, 56 fewer underclassmen per class and a 44 percent overall drop in underclassmen declaring.

With direct payments from schools to players now allowed, plus the NFL still having a rookie wage scale,...

The Green Bay Packers have had terrible injury luck this year. Not only are 15 players on the injury lists for the team, but two more players became non-participants in practice on Thursday in their lead-up to their regular-season finale against the Minnesota Vikings.

Today, offensive lineman Donovan Jennings was added to the injury report with a throat injury. On Wednesday, he was a full participant, which likely means that he wasn’t injured during yesterday’s practice. Usually, if Jennings had started practice, gotten injured and dropped out, he would have been listed as limited in that situation.

Receiver Savion Williams,...

Maybe it’s for the best that the Green Bay Packers’ regular season finale against the Minnesota Vikings this Sunday will only be on television in a small selection of TV markets across the United States. After all, the average football fan probably isn’t all that excited to tune in for a starting quarterback matchup featuring Clayton Tune vs. Max Brosmer, particularly when the game has no impact on anything aside from draft position.

That’s the situation facing the Packers and Vikings this Sunday when the two teams face off at 12 Noon Central Time from U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis....

The Green Bay Packers made 15 roster moves in Week 18, including the addition of cornerback Trevon Diggs. On Thursday, they added to that list by placing tight end McCallan Castles on the practice squad’s injured list, meaning that he likely suffered a season-ending injury during Wednesday’s practice. To replace him, the Packers have signed safety Mark Perry, a 2024 undrafted free agent who has spent time with the Miami Dolphins, Houston Texans, New England Patriots, Tennessee Titans and Chicago Bears.

The Packers called up both of their safeties from the practice squad, Jonathan Baldwin and Jaylin Simpson, to the...

You know that disorienting sensation where you’re watching the Packers late in the season and suddenly a player you’ve literally never heard — and who you could be reasonably convinced doesn’t actually exist — makes a play?

Get ready to feel that sensation a lot on Sunday.

With the Packers playoff seeding already locked in, Head Coach Matt LaFleur has hinted that key starters will sit out this Sunday’s matchup to protect health ahead of the postseason. And while many of us have been mailing it in at our jobs the last week or two, Green Bay’s front office has...

File this under “things we didn’t see coming a few weeks ago.”

The Green Bay Packers have a playoff spot locked up, as well as their seeding, having clinched the #7 spot in the NFC playoffs for a third straight season. As a result, Sunday’s regular season finale against the Minnesota Vikings means nothing for playoff positioning, with their Wild Card destination entirely determined by the results of the Chicago Bears’ and Philadelphia Eagles’ games.

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur has said since last Saturday’s loss to the Baltimore Ravens that the team would look at resting several key players...

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...

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...
