Packers-Ravens Injury Report: Malik Willis missed practice with illness

Packers-Ravens Injury Report: Malik Willis missed practice with illness

If Jordan Love’s concussion and Malik Willis’ right shoulder injury weren’t enough, the Green Bay Packers are now dealing with another factor in their quarterback room: Willis has an illness that caused him to miss Wednesday’s practice. Clayton Tune, Green Bay’s practice squad quarterback, had to take the backup quarterback reps in practice today. Receiver Christian Watson said after practice that Love took all the starter’s share of reps with the number one offense.

The good news is that Love was able to practice today, leaving just Willis and three others as non-participants. With Love still in the concussion protocol,...

Packers’ Rich Bisaccia addresses onside kick blunder

Packers’ Rich Bisaccia addresses onside kick blunder

I promise this is the last time we’ll be talking about the onside kick that the Green Bay Packers lost against the Chicago Bears, but the topic needs to be brought up again, as special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia addressed the play for the first time in his Wednesday press conference with the media this week. If you need a reminder of what happened, receiver Romeo Doubs muffed the onside kick attempt inside the two-minute warning against the Bears. At the time, Green Bay had a seven-point lead. The Packers ended up playing one more play of offense in regulation...

How the Packers’ coverage bust led to the Bears’ game-tying TD

How the Packers’ coverage bust led to the Bears’ game-tying TD

The Green Bay Packers’ defense, without Micah Parsons and Evan Williams, held the Chicago Bears offense to just nine points for 59 minutes and 36 seconds of the football game. In the game’s final seconds, Bears quarterback Caleb Williams hit a touchdown throw to a wide-open Jahdae Walker after a coverage bust that allowed the Bears to tie the game.

To the defense’s credit, they did more than enough to win the game. By that point in the fourth quarter, the game was already slowly slipping away after Jordan Love was ruled out before halftime. To add to that, Josh...

Wednesday Cheese Curds: Malik Willis has been a gift to Packers

Wednesday Cheese Curds: Malik Willis has been a gift to Packers

Injuries to Jordan Love have been distressingly common since he took over as the Packers’ starting quarterback.

Love made it through all of 2023 without issue, but opened 2024 with a knee injury in Week 1 that affected most of his season. He’s been banged up a couple of times in 2025 as well, missing time against the Giants and Bears for different but still significant injuries, though he returned in the Giants game.

But as much time as Love has missed, the Packers have hardly missed a beat because of super backup Malik Willis. Whenever the Packers have needed...

Malik Willis analysis: Has Packers QB developed into starting-caliber player?

Malik Willis analysis: Has Packers QB developed into starting-caliber player?

Throughout the 2025 NFL season, SB Nation’s Doug Farrar writes about the game’s Secret Superstars — those players whose performances might slip under the radar for whatever reasons. In this installment, we focus on Green Bay Packers backup quarterback Malik Willis, who has transformed himself from NFL bust to possible starting quarterback, based on what he’s shown in two seasons under Matt LaFleur’s tutelage.

The thing about quarterbacks is that when you need one, you’re willing to do just about anything to get one.

This is why quarterbacks are frequently (and sometimes drastically) overvalued in both the draft, and when...

Packers Injury Report: Jordan Love, Malik Willis participate in walkthrough

The Green Bay Packers had a walkthrough practice on Tuesday and are expected to have a walkthrough practice on Thursday, meaning that the team’s injury reports on those days will be estimations. Still, on Tuesday, both Jordan Love and Malik Willis, the team’s injured quarterbacks, were able to throw the ball around and were estimated to be limited participants if the practice were padded.

Love went down with a concussion in the first half of the Packers’ loss to the Chicago Bears this week, while Malik Willis injured his throwing shoulder and finished out the game. After practice today, Willis...

NFL Draft: 2026 Underclassmen Declaration Tracker

NFL Draft: 2026 Underclassmen Declaration Tracker

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,...

Packers Discussion: Air Your Grievances for Festivus!

Happy Festivus, Green Bay Packers fans!

The Packers are fighting for a spot in the NFL playoffs this holiday season after losing to the Chicago Bears on Saturday in a devastating game that saw Packers QB Jordan Love exit early with a concussion. The Packers have lost 2 straight games in which they had full control. But then injuries piled up, mistakes were made, and wins slipped through their fingers. The emotional rollercoaster of the last few weeks seems like the perfect opportunity to celebrate the best tradition of Festivus: the Airing of Grievances.

For those unfamiliar, Festivus is a...

Tuesday Cheese Curds: Packers still drawing comparisons to 2010 squad

Tuesday Cheese Curds: Packers still drawing comparisons to 2010 squad

Did you know Jordan Love is the same age as Aaron Rodgers, Brett Favre, and Bart Starr when they won their first championships?

If you didn’t, you probably haven’t watched a Packers game this year, because that and other parallels to 2010 (and 1996 and 1961) have been flogged to no end. And maybe they’re true and real, but they don’t count for much until the Packers actually win something.

But I’d like there to be something to those comparisons. I’d like it to be true that the Packers are very similar to their 2010 championship team, or any of...

The quarterbacks of Matt LaFleur’s Past

The quarterbacks of Matt LaFleur’s Past

As we all know, Green Bay Packers Jordan Love left the game this past weekend with a concussion, and Malik Willis sustained an injury late in the same game. I know those bits of information, and then I saw 44-year-old, just-off-the-couch Philip Rivers go for 277 yards and 2 TDs on Monday Night Football, so my brain started wondering. If Matt LaFleur didn’t have a healthy QB he liked going into this weekend, who would he call?

So I went combing through Matt LaFleur’s stops as a coach to find a candidate. (Quick note: when I say “LaFleur coached this...

Packers Discussion: How would you change the roster going into the playoffs?

Packers Discussion: How would you change the roster going into the playoffs?

The Green Bay Packers will need to do at least a little bit of reshuffling before they get into the postseason. Most importantly, they only have one healthy tight end on the roster right now, Luke Musgrave, while Matt LaFleur’s teams generally like to roster three or four at the position, because of how many multiple-tight-end sets that they play.

Below is your roster breakdown:

  • QB-2: Jordan Love and Malik Willis
  • RB-3: Josh Jacobs, Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks
  • WR-7: Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Dontayvion Wicks, Matthew Golden, Bo Melton and Savion Williams
  • TE-2:...

Packers Discussion Thread: San Francisco 49ers play on MNF vs. Indianapolis Colts

The San Francisco 49ers take on the Indianapolis Colts on Monday Night Football this week, a game that will impact the Green Bay Packers in the playoff race, depending on what you are rooting for.
