Jayden Reed details injury recovery in new mini-documentary

Jayden Reed details injury recovery in new mini-documentary

You’ve probably seen Jayden Reed’s viral “Packers to the Bowl, bruh” video after surgery on his broken collarbone, but now the Packers’ wide receiver is giving fans a glimpse at what his recovery process looks like beyond anaesthesia-fueled predictions.

Reed broke his collarbone during the Packers’ Week 2 win over the Washington Commanders while hauling in what should have been a 39-yard touchdown pass. The play, Reed’s best of the season, was negated by a holding penalty and Reed’s season was put on hold due to the injury. But now, he’s showing a little bit more of what life has...

Why does Jordan Love not ‘seem’ as good as he is?

Why does Jordan Love not ‘seem’ as good as he is?

First, I should probably establish that Jordan Love actually is good. After all, you may not think he’s good, because he doesn’t seem as good as he is, which is the point of the article. So, let’s prove that out. For all quarterbacks with at least 100 attempts so far this season, Love is:

  • Third in Adjusted Net Yards per Attempt (ANY/A)
  • Seventh in completion percentage
  • Fourth in QB Rating
  • Sixth in Completion Percentage Above Expected (CPOE)
  • Second in DAKOTA (I think it’s just called DAKOTA, but is a mix of CPOE and EPA) -...

EA reveals Madden Ultimate Team ‘Most Feared’ promotion

EA reveals Madden Ultimate Team ‘Most Feared’ promotion

Every year, EA runs a promotion in their Madden NFL game the two weeks before Halloween known as “Most Feared”. This year is no exception. Today on a twitch stream at 5:30pm ET right before a Madden Championship Series tournament, the first batch of “cards” were revealed.

For the uninitiated: Madden Ultimate Team is EA’s microtransaction cash cow that takes money from your wallet and replaces it with tiny dopamine hits as you virtually rip open trading card packs to try and build the best possible football team.

The Halloween promotion is always centered around players, both current and former,...

Cheese Curds, 10/16: Where is Packers’ killer instinct?

Cheese Curds, 10/16: Where is Packers’ killer instinct?

Does Matt LaFleur rue the day that he said the Green Bay Packers’ mantra was “All gas, no brake” on a hot microphone? Because with the way the team has played so far this season, he has either forgotten about that approach or he has chosen to stop following it.

Yes, there have been some mistakes by the Packers that have led to them not expanding out leads more substantially early in games. But LaFleur’s decision making — not just on 4th downs, but also in how he calls plays — reflect a conservative head coach who, for some reason,...

Jordy Nelson rules on suspension of Detroit Lion

Jordy Nelson rules on suspension of Detroit Lion

Contrary to popular belief, former Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jordy Nelson didn’t just disappear to a farm in Kansas after his playing days were over. Last October, Nelson returned to football when he joined the NFL and NFLPA as a joint hearing officer, serving as a mediator between the league and the players’ union. In the role, he is part of the appeals process for suspensions and fines.

So when Detroit Lions safety Brian Branch decided to appeal his suspension for throwing punches after the Lions’ loss against the Kansas City Chiefs, the case went across Nelson’s desk.

Packers vs. Cardinals Injury Report: Wednesday Update

Packers vs. Cardinals Injury Report: Wednesday Update

The Green Bay Packers and Arizona Cardinals have dropped their first injury reports of the week, but the Cardinals’ side should be taken with a grain of salt. Apparently, Arizona only had a walkthrough on Wednesday, rather than a typical full practice, despite coming off a Sunday game. The Cardinals also have a bye week next week, so this is certainly odd.

On the Packers’ end of things, the non-participants in practice today were right tackle Zach Tom (oblique/back), defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt (knee), defensive end Lukas Van Ness (foot) and kicker Brandon McManus (quad). Tom was able to finish...

Cardinals add former Packer to 53-man roster ahead of Week 7 matchup

Cardinals add former Packer to 53-man roster ahead of Week 7 matchup

The Arizona Cardinals made a cluster of moves on Wednesday, leading up to their opening practice of the week in preparation for the Green Bay Packers. First, the team opened the practice window for 2025 first-round defensive tackle Walter Nolen, who has been dealing with a calf injury since July. Secondly, they swapped around tight ends, which included a promotion of Josiah Deguara from the practice squad to the 53-man roster.

To make room for Deguara, the Packers’ 2020 third-round pick, the team placed tight end Travis Vokolek on the injured reserve and backfilled Deguara’s practice squad spot with tight...

ESPN insider suggests Packers could trade 2 defenders

ESPN insider suggests Packers could trade 2 defenders

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler believes that the Green Bay Packers may be in a position to move one of their edge rushers before the trade deadline passes. When asked about who the San Francisco 49ers could target, following Nick Bosa’s ACL tear, here’s what Fowler said:

“Other potential options I suspect the 49ers will check on include edge rushers Rashan Gary (Packers), Jaelan Phillips (Dolphins), Bradley Chubb (Dolphins), Jermaine Johnson (Jets), Will McDonald IV (Jets) and Arden Key (Titans). If the Packers won’t part with Gary — and I don’t think they would — they have pass rusher Kingsley Enagbare,...

Packers Film Room: The Sneak and the Fake

Packers Film Room: The Sneak and the Fake

The Cincinnati Bengals game is quickly fading in the rearview mirror for the Green Bay Packers, but I wanted to take a quick look at 2 plays before it fully fades from view. Both of these are short-yardage plays with the same basic set-up, but with slightly different ways to win.

Play 1: 4th & 1, 10:51 remaining in the 1st quarter

This first play takes place on the Packers’ first drive of the game. After a good start to the drive, they’re now facing 4th & 1 at the Bengals’ 26-yard line. They want to end the drive...

Packers vs. Cardinals Week 7 TV Broadcast Map

Packers vs. Cardinals Week 7 TV Broadcast Map

This Sunday afternoon the Green Bay Packers will play in one of the two major television network’s second-choice game in the late afternoon time slot, doing so for the second straight game. This week finds the Packers headed west to visit the Arizona Cardinals, and the location of the game in the western United States requires that the contest kick off in the late window. However, an NFC East matchup gets top billing between the two games that FOX has the rights to for the 3:25 PM Central slot.

That other game is the Dallas Cowboys hosting the Washington Commanders,...

Wednesday Cheese Curd: Packers’ defense looking for solutions to second-half struggles

Wednesday Cheese Curd: Packers’ defense looking for solutions to second-half struggles

The Packers’ defense isn’t bad, but it’s certainly been a bit inconsistent over the past couple of games.

There have been dominant stretches — the Cowboys didn’t advance the ball more than 15 yards on any of their first three drives, and the Bengals managed just 21 total yards on their first four. But for every stretch of dominance, there’s been an equal (or worse) stretch of apparent ineptitude. The defense has forced just one punt in the respective second halves of their last two games.

Were these just bad matchups? Does Davante Wyatt’s absence really matter that much? Is...

Get ready for flags in Packers vs. Cardinals

The referee for the Green Bay Packers’ game on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals is none other than Alex Moore, a rookie who was promoted from umpire this season. So far, Moore is on pace to be the strictest referee in football.

As of right now, Moore’s crew ranks first in penalties, first in penalties per game, first in penalty yardage and second in penalty yardage per game this year, per NFL Penalties. For reference, the only crew that has thrown more flags on the away team per game this year than Moore (9.7) is Carl Cheffers (10), who threw...
