Like we did for Week 1, we’re going to track where the Green Bay Packers sent their scouts in Week 3 of the college football season. Generally, this information comes from media reports, as those in the press box for college football games can see the seating arrangements for all of the attendees in the box, which includes NFL scouts and general managers.

So do we know where all of the Packers’ scouts were at all times this weekend? No, but we can still gather some useful information from these reports.

There were no media reports on where Green Bay...

Among the NFL’s top 18 ball-carries, from a rushing yardage perspective, only one player has a lower yards per carry than the Green Bay Packers’ Josh Jacobs (3.6 yards per carry) through two weeks of action in 2025. Unfortunately for Jacobs, the Packers are set to play the toughest run defense in the league this week in the Cleveland Browns, so the first 100-yard game in 2025 from Jacobs might have to wait yet another week.

In Week 1, the Browns held the Cincinnati Bengals’ running backs to 21 carries for 43 yards (2.0 YPC). In Week 2, despite losing...

With the recent extensions of receiver Christian Watson and punter Daniel Whelan now finalized, let’s take a look at what the Green Bay Packers’ next move could be, as far as in-season extensions go. According to Over the Cap, the Packers are set to be over the 2026 salary cap already with just the players they have under contract next year, not including new extensions, their expected six-man 2026 draft class, the cost of practice squad players or the salaries of players who might end up on injury lists next season.

From this point forward, any new signings would mean...

We officially have an update on the status of Green Bay Packers WR Jayden Reed’s injuries. The wide receiver underwent surgery this week to repair both the broken collarbone he sustained in the first quarter of the Packers’ win over the Washington Commanders as well as the Jones fracture in his foot that kept him out of training camp.

Reed went live on his Instagram to share that all went well with surgery and that he’s feeling good. Perhaps, a little too good, as he was very clearly still under the effects of anesthesia as seen in the clip shared...

The Packers panopticon turned its attention to Christian Watson this week.

The electric-but-injured receiver seems to be creeping closer to making his 2025 debut after tearing his ACL in the Packers’ 2024 regular-season finale. Counting today, it has been 255 days since Watson’s injury, definitely putting him on the speedy end of the ACL return timeline. But given what Watson can bring to the table as a football player, perhaps that’s not surprising. Speed has always been basically his entire thing.

And speed is what the Packers’ need right now. Outside of Matthew Golden, the Packers don’t really have a...

Cincinnati Bengals starting quarterback Joe Burrow went down with a turf toe injury this weekend, one that ESPN’s Adam Schefter has reported will keep him out of action for at least three months following surgery. In response, the Bengals have signed two new quarterbacks to their practice squad on Tuesday: Mike White and Sean Clifford.

Clifford is a former Green Bay Packers draft pick, selected 149th overall in the 2023 draft. Clifford served as Jordan Love’s primary backup quarterback in 2023 before being demoted to a practice squad role in 2024. The Penn State product spent this summer in Green...

Throughout the 2025 NFL season, SB Nation’s Doug Farrar will write about the game’s Secret Superstars — those players whose performances might slip under the radar for whatever reasons. In this installment, it’s time to feature an unheralded part of a Green Bay Packers defense that looks ready to take the rest of the NFL and put it in a commemorative box. Cornerback Keisean Nixon had the best game of his career against the Washington Commanders last Thursday night. Now, we get to see whether Nixon can add to it as the season goes along.

Keisean Nixon has been a...

Going into the 2025 regular season, only The Athletic predicted that the Green Bay Packers were going to be a top-three team in the NFL. After two weeks of play, the Packers being considered as a top-three team is now officially a consensus thought.

Let’s take a look at what national analysts are saying about 2-0 Green Bay.

The Athletic: #1

The Packers head coach was Notre Dame’s quarterbacks coach when Quinn hired him in 2015 to be part of an Atlanta Falcons staff that included Kyle Shanahan and Mike McDaniel. LaFleur has led the Packers against a team...

Next Gen Stats, which uses data gathered from on-field player-tracking information, does a great job of telling the story of the Green Bay Packers’ passing offense so far in 2025. At the moment, Packers quarterback Jordan Love has the second-highest “deep %” in the league, behind only Lamar Jackson. “Deep %” is defined by Next Gen Stats as throws where the ball travels at least 20 yards through the air downfield.

In air yards per attempt, Love, by far, leads the league with a 12.5 average, meaning that’s how deep passes generally travel through two weeks of action.

For perspective,...

Despite the Cleveland Browns being outscored in their first two games of the 2025 regular season, they really want to play 12 personnel football, with two tight ends on the field and only two receivers out wide. So far, their tight end usage is pretty staggering.

Their most-played tight end, David Njoku, has been on the field for 83 percent of offensive snaps so far this year. That’s more than any Browns offensive skill player other than quarterback Joe Flacco (95 percent), receiver Cedric Tillman (91 percent) and receiver Jerry Jeudy (88 percent).

Behind Njoku is rookie Harold Fannin, who...

After coming in as a much-ballyhooed first-round pick, Matthew Golden hasn’t exactly set the world on fire. After 2 catches for 16 yards in Week 1, his stat line looked even less full in Week 2: 2 carries for 15 yards and 0 catches on 2 targets.

But stats and film are two different things, so I wanted to take a look at what Golden did in Week 2 against the Commanders, and I’m going to make it your problem.

First things first: let’s just talk about the two carries he got. The speed and shiftiness is certainly on display,...
