Packers TV Broadcast: How to watch Monday Night Football amid ESPN/Youtube TV standoff

Packers TV Broadcast: How to watch Monday Night Football amid ESPN/Youtube TV standoff

This coming week, the Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles will meet on Monday Night Football at Lambeau Field. Once the pinnacle of pro football broadcasts, Monday Night Football has taken a back seat to the Sunday night broadcast, but it still offers a national broadcast footprint on ESPN and ABC that affords all fans across the USA an opportunity to watch the game.

Of course, there is no need for an article on Acme Packing Company this week addressing a TV broadcast map as a result of the prime time broadcast. However, there is one potential broadcast issue that...

Packers Depth Chart Update: What does Green Bay look like post-Tucker Kraft?

Packers Depth Chart Update: What does Green Bay look like post-Tucker Kraft?

The Green Bay Packers’ loss to the Carolina Panthers was a very painful rewatch, filled with self-inflicted wounds by the Packers. Maybe you don’t want to re-live it, but I had to, to figure out what sort of changes Green Bay made to their depth chart and game plan this weekend. So here is the fruit of my painful labor.

As always, the numbers in the tables below tell you how many snaps the team played each player or personnel group in a given week on offense or defense. Plays with pre-snap penalties (false starts, etc.) do not count in...

Report: Packers interested in signing CB Asante Samuel Jr.

Report: Packers interested in signing CB Asante Samuel Jr.

According to The Athletic’s Matt Schneidman, the Green Bay Packers remain interested in signing free-agent cornerback Asante Samuel Jr., one of the top free agents in last spring’s class who has yet to sign with a team. Samuel has recently been cleared after undergoing a spine fusion this offseason, after playing just four games for the Los Angeles Chargers in 2024.

Based on sources I’ve talked to, here’s the scenario. The Packers wanted to have Samuel on a visit, prior to him being cleared for action, in an effort to recruit him. Samuel’s camp told Green Bay that any visit...

NFL Trade Deadline 2025: Packers keep their picks

NFL Trade Deadline 2025: Packers keep their picks

Despite the rumors that the Green Bay Packers were interested in a cornerback at the trade deadline, the team made no such trade on Tuesday. With six trades on deadline day, this was the third-most active deadline day in league history. Here’s the sobering reality: Trades are infrequent in the NFL.

Below are the trades that were made:

  • The Dallas Cowboys traded their 2026 7th-round pick for Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Logan Wilson.
  • The Jacksonville Jaguars traded their 2026 4th- and 6th-round picks for Las Vegas Raiders receiver Jakobi Meyers, following the injury to second overall rookie Travis Hunter....

Packers Roster Update: Green Bay signs 2 on Tuesday

Packers Roster Update: Green Bay signs 2 on Tuesday

The Green Bay Packers have signed two players to their practice squad on the day of the NFL trade deadline: tight end McCallan Castles and receiver Michael Woods II. The Packers’ practice squad was already at 16 players, on a 17-man squad, so there will need to be at least one corresponding roster move to be made before these additions are final. I say at least, because there’s still a possibility that linebacker Kristian Welch, who was brought up to the 53-man roster last week and was released on Monday, could return to the practice squad, too.

[Castles was brought...

The Jets could own the Packers’ 2027 1st-round pick

The Jets could own the Packers’ 2027 1st-round pick

At the trade deadline, the Dallas Cowboys traded for New York Jets defensive tackle Quinnen Williams, which is interesting considering that the team just traded for Kenny Clark this summer and extended Osa Odighizuwa this offseason, but that’s besides the point. What I want to point out here is that the Green Bay Packers’ 2027 first-round pick might end up in the hands of the Jets.

The trade compensation for the Williams addition was Dallas’ 2026 second-round pick, a 2027 first-round pick and former first-round pick defensive tackle Mazi Smith going to New York.

As part of the deal, [according...

Tuesday Cheese Curds: Lots to fix in Green Bay right now

Tuesday Cheese Curds: Lots to fix in Green Bay right now

There’s a lot going on in Green Bay right now.

Tucker Kraft’s knee is shot, leaving the offense without its most effective player. Nate Hobbs is hurt, leaving the secondary perilously thin (even if Hobbs wasn’t playing particularly well). The offense seems scattershot. The defense can’t stop the run. And on top of all of that, the defending Super Bowl champs (admittedly in a weird season of their own) are coming to Lambeau Field on Monday.

Oh, and the trade deadline is today, too. Mark your calendars.

I remain convinced this is still a good team, but good wasn’t what...

Packers Week 10 Opening Odds: Green Bay still favored over Philadelphia Eagles

Packers Week 10 Opening Odds: Green Bay still favored over Philadelphia Eagles

After the abysmal showing that the Green Bay Packers put forth on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers, it would be reasonable to expect the Packers to be underdogs when facing one of the top teams in the NFC this coming week. However, even though the 6-2 Philadelphia Eagles are coming to town for Monday Night Football in Week 10, the Packers have still opened up as favorites at home for the upcoming game.

According to FanDuel sportsbook, the Packers are 2.5-point favorites over the Eagles as of Tuesday morning.

Last week’s game was a rough one for Green Bay, but...

Packers trade rumors 2025: Green Bay looking for a CB

Packers trade rumors 2025: Green Bay looking for a CB

The NFL trade deadline is today at 3 p.m. CT. If the Green Bay Packers want to ensure that they’ll have extra talent on the roster for the second half of the season, it will need to be done by then. After the deadline, players can only be released from NFL active rosters, and every player, including vested veterans, is subject to waivers. Prior to the deadline, only players who had played fewer than vested seasons (excluding 2025) were subject to waivers.

When asked if the Packers need to make a move at the deadline this year, Green Bay head...

Report: Packers CB Nate Hobbs to miss several weeks with injury

Report: Packers CB Nate Hobbs to miss several weeks with injury

Green Bay Packers cornerback Nate Hobbs has not been having the year that he hoped to have with the team when he signed a four-year, $48 million contract with the Packers in free agency. First, he injured his knee in the summer and needed meniscus surgery to be ready for the regular season. Since returning to the team, he’s been the least effective outside cornerback out of the Packers’ trio at the position. Now, according to the Green Bay Press-Gazette’s Ryan Wood, Hobbs will miss the next several weeks with another knee injury.

Per Wood, this Grade 1 MCL sprain...

Monday Night Football Game Thread: Cardinals and Cowboys close out Week 9

Monday Night Football Game Thread: Cardinals and Cowboys close out Week 9

This evening, a pair of NFC teams who have started the season rather unimpressively meet to try to take a step back towards contention in their respective divisions. The Arizona Cardinals and Dallas Cowboys have reached their current sub-.500 records in different ways, but both are multiple games back of their division leaders as they approach the midpoint of the 2025 season.

For Dallas, their story is a tale of two sides of the football. The Cowboys offense is one of the more explosive units in the NFL and they are one of just two teams averaging at least 30...

Packers work out TE on Monday

Packers work out TE on Monday

The Green Bay Packers typically only have players in for workouts on Tuesdays, the day that players usually have off during the week. So it’s out of the norm that the Packers brought in three players on Monday, coming off their loss to the Carolina Panthers. It’s possible that this could be due to the NFL’s trade deadline, which is set for 3 pm CT on Tuesday.

The three players brought in to Green Bay today, according to the NFL’s transaction report, were tight end McCallan Castles, cornerback Shemar Bartholomew and cornerback Jalen Kimber.
