The Green Bay Packers don’t have an open roster spot on their practice squad for an American player, as they have a full 16-man practice squad at the moment, but the team did release international exemption kicker Mark McNamee from the practice squad earlier today. So any American signing that the Packers make will need to come with a corresponding roster move, but they’re free to add an international player to the unit.

Nonetheless, the Packers brought in a batch of edge defenders on Tuesday for workouts. Interestingly, defensive end is a position where Green Bay might need some help,...

The Green Bay Packers announced on Tuesday that they have released kicker Mark McNamee from their practice squad. McNamee joined the team in training camp after their previous number two kicker, Alex Hale, suffered an eye injury during the offseason. Like Hale, McNamee received a roster exemption as the team’s designated International Player Pathway Program player.

This is interesting for a couple of reasons. First of all, the Packers chose to use Lucas Havrisik, a street free agent signing that the team made on Saturday, in Week 6 against the Cincinnati Bengals, over McNamee, who has been working with the...

What a rollercoaster of a season it has been for the Green Bay Packers. After Week 2, power rankings had the team as one of the best handful of teams in the NFL. Then the Packers followed that up with a loss to the Cleveland Browns and a tie against the Dallas Cowboys, in part due to blocked kicks in both of those games. Confidence nationally for Matt LaFleur’s squad plummeted.

On Sunday, Green Bay took care of the Cincinnati Bengals, but the team didn’t even cover the spread — which I’ll only bring up as a benchmark for expectations...

Let’s take a look at two of the big plays from the Green Bay Packers’ passing game this past weekend’s win over the Cincinnati Bengals, on both ends of the spectrum. We’re starting by looking at quarterback Jordan Love’s interception and ending with his touchdown pass.

Play 1: 3rd & 5, 8:51 remaining in the 1st quarter

On the Packers’ first drive of the game, they go 47 yards in 10 plays, now finding themselves in a 3rd down situation at the Bengals’ 19-yard line. They’re in 11 personnel (1 RB, 1 TE, 3 WR), in a 3×1 look,...

It feels like it was 2 months between games, but we finally got to watch the Green Bay Packers play football again. It wasn’t a blowout, but the Packers were comfortably in control for the entire game. There were a few stressful moments to be sure, but overall, this was a nice, relatively stress-free watch.

Every week, we take a look at how their passing offense looked, so let’s get into it.

A nice little chart. Slightly left-leaning and the baffling INT on the right side, but a pretty nice little chart.

The numbers look good, too. Per RBSDM, Jordan...

It’s been an odd and frustrating month for the Green Bay Packers. Their offense has been generally good, but streaky. Their defense has seemed less than the sum of its parts. The special teams have been anything but special.

What kind of team are they, really? At the very least, they seem like a flawed team, but how different is that than the rest of the league? This week alone we saw the Eagles lose to the Giants and the Bills fall to the Falcons. That’s two supposed contenders falling on their faces against two teams that will probably be...

The Green Bay Packers’ 27-18 win over the Cincinnati Bengals wasn’t exactly as clean as many Packers fans were hoping, but a win is a win, and now the team is sitting atop the NFC North going into Week 7. Today, we’re going to dive into who played where and why for that Green Bay win.

As always, these are snap counts that we personally have tracked throughout the year. The number in each cell corresponds to the number of snaps played, be it a personnel grouping or an individual player’s snaps, in specified weeks. Cells highlighted in yellow mean...

Once again, the NFC North is poised to be the strongest division in football, at least through six weeks of the NFL season. Last year, the NFC North set records as the division finished 45-23 with a 66.2% win percentage and had three teams that won at least 11 games during the regular season.

This year, the Chicago Bears, who dragged the NFC North down with a 5-12 record in 2024, are even on the other side of .500 after their last-second win against the Washington Commanders on Monday Night Football.

At the moment, here are the NFC North standings:...

Over the last two games, the Green Bay Packers have allowed just 16 total points in the first halves of games, including a touchdown on a play where the Dallas Cowboys started with the ball on the 15-yard line after a Jordan Love sack-fumble. Meanwhile, their defense has surrendered 52 points, more than three times as many points, in the second halves of those games.

Obviously, Packers head coach Matt LaFleur was asked about the Jekyll and Hyde of Green Bay’s defense, one that starts off strong with three-and-outs but by the end of games looks like butter to the...

The Green Bay Packers lost three players in their win against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday: receiver Dontayvion Wicks (ankle), defensive end Lukas Van Ness (foot) and safety Javon Bullard (concussion). While there weren’t any updates on the status of Wicks on Monday, head coach Matt LaFleur did answer questions about where Van Ness and Bullard stand today.

Van Ness’ injury appeared to be the most serious, as he was carted off the Packers’ sideline to the locker room. Yesterday, LaFleur stated that Van Ness didn’t break a bone in his foot, but that he was going to have an...

Monday is a big day around the sports world. The NFL has a Monday Night Football doubleheader, with a few of the league’s more interesting teams suiting up for games on the final day of week six. First up, the Buffalo Bills — the AFC’s current #1 seed — travel south to face the Atlanta Falcons.

Then it’s a battle of second-year quarterbacks as Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears face Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders. That second game is a rematch of last year’s crazy matchup that ended with a Hail Mary touchdown from Daniels to Noah Brown...

When the final whistle blew on the Green Bay Packers’ game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday afternoon, the scoreboard showed a weird pair of numbers. The Packers won the game 27-18, which is a final scoreline that the team has become oddly familiar with this season. After all, this was the second game that the Packers have played in that featured that final score — they beat the Washington Commanders 27-18 in Week 2, making it twice in five weeks for Green Bay.

Here’s a weird part: [there has only been one other game in NFL history that ended...
