Green Bay Packers
Once more unto the breach.
Today, the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears meet for the second time in 13 days with the NFC North lead on the line once again. This evening’s game takes place at Soldier Field, a rare Saturday night regular season game and another rare game between these teams with massive implications, not only in the division but across the NFC playoff race as a whole.
Interestingly, the line for this game has shifted dramatically from the beginning of the week to now. Even in the immediate aftermath of the Packers’ loss to the Denver Broncos,...

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler is reporting that Chicago Bears linebacker Tremaine Edmunds, a 2019 and 2020 Pro Bowler who signed a four-year, $72 million contract with Chicago in 2023, is expected to be activated from the injured reserve leading up to the Bears’ Saturday game against the Green Bay Packers. Edmunds has been dealing with a groin injury, which led to his stint on the injured reserve, but was listed as questionable by Chicago on Thursday in the final injury report of the week.
Edmunds had his 21-day practice window open up this week and was limited on Wednesday (Tuesday featured...

The Green Bay Packers announced on Friday that they have activated defensive end Brenton Cox Jr. from the injured reserve. Cox was in Week 3 of his 21-day practice window, so the team needed to bring him up to the 53-man roster soon or he would have reverted to injured reserve for the remainder of the season.
Cox only played eight snaps for the Packers this year before going on the injured reserve with a groin injury, but he played 160 snaps over seven games in 2024, leading to four sacks. Green Bay is thin in the pass-rushing department, as...

To say that the Green Bay Packers’ defense is banged up would be an understatement.
On top of losing superstar pass rusher in Micah Parsons to a torn ACL, the Packers also lost their ascending safety in Evan Williams on the very same play last week against the Denver Broncos. While Williams is officially listed as questionable for Saturday’s game against the Chicago Bears, it would be a surprise to see him suit up given the fact that he didn’t practice all week.
Those are two massive injuries for Green Bay’s run defense, which heads into Week 16 ranked 16th...

A pass catcher putting up a 1000-yard season isn’t particularly rare in Packers history. It’s happened 40 times in more than a century of Packers football, dating back to Don Hutson’s 1,211 yards in 1942.
But there won’t be a 1000-yard receiver in Green Bay in 2025, not unless Romeo Doubs really picks up the pace. Through 14 games, Doubs leads the Packers with 578 receiving yards. And as much as I’d like to see Doubs put up 422 yards over the next three games, that doesn’t seem super likely considering he’s never logged a 100-yard game in his career...

Call it a silver lining or a light at the end of the tunnel or whatever other metaphor you’d like, but at least the Green Bay Packers got a bit of encouraging news late Thursday night. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the team got the best news they could hope for following Parsons’ diagnosis of an ACL tear: it is apparently a clean tear, which should allow Parsons the best chance of recovering quickly and fully.
Christian Watson’s tear in January was clean as well, and he was back on the field in week 8 of this season. This...

There’s been a lot of doom and gloom in here since the Micah Parsons injury, for good reason, but let’s look for optimism for the Green Bay Packers this year. There are still three more games left in the regular season, with the potential for the Packers to secure a playoff spot as early as Sunday. So how bad are Green Bay’s Super Bowl chances, actually?
Let’s take a look at the two largest sportsbooks to see how the Packers stack in Super Bowl odds after the Los Angeles Rams lost to the Seattle Seahawks, giving Seattle the lead in...

This evening, Thursday Night Football brings one of the biggest games on the entire 2025 NFL schedule. Tonight’s game between the Rams and Seahawks could end up deciding both the NFC West division title as well as the race for the #1 seed in the NFC playoff race.
These two teams are tied for the top spot in both the conference and the division at 11-3, with the winner taking a critical one-game lead with two weeks to go in the season. If the Rams win this game, their lead is effectively up to two games, as they would have...

A lot has changed since the Green Bay Packers’ win over the Chicago Bears on December 7th. The Packers are banged up, with three players ruled out, ten players listed as questionable and star pass-rusher Micah Parsons on the injured reserve going into the weekend. It sure seems like Bears fans have taken notice.
This week, we’re joined by Bill Zimmerman of Windy City Gridiron to break down how Chicago feels about the upcoming matchup. For what it’s worth, even after all the injuries the Packers suffered against the Denver Broncos, [Green Bay opened up as the road favorite in...

Last week, the Chicago Bears beat the Cleveland Browns in a pointless game that revealed no new information, unless you were unaware of just how bad Shadeur Sanders is. However, one important thing did happen. Rome Odunze, the Bears’ best big play receiver, was already nursing an injured foot; in the frigid pre-game warmup he exacerbated that injury and on Thursday the Bears ruled him out for Saturday’s rematch with the Green Bay Packers. Luther Burden III, Chicago’s impressive rookie receiver, also was ruled out with an injured ankle, while running back D’Andre Swift popped up on the injury report...

The Green Bay Packers are banged up. The team didn’t just lose Micah Parsons on Sunday. As it stands right now, on Thursday, the Packers have already ruled out three players against the Chicago Bears, and ten more Green Bay players are listed as questionable to play on Saturday.
The only injury on this list that will impact the Packers, as neither MarShawn Lloyd or John Williams has played in a game this regular season, is tight end Josh...
