Still not practicing Thursday
Thu, Nov 5, 2026, 7:29 PM
Glover (knee) did not practice Thursday.
Analysis: It was a second consecutive DNP for Glover, who didn't play in Week 8 against the Panthers. If he misses another game Sunday versus the Patriots, Laken Tomlinson may be needed to fill in. |

Doesn't practice again Thursday
Thu, Nov 5, 2026, 7:25 PM
Rhyan (ankle) was absent from practice Thursday.
Analysis: It was a second consecutive absence for Rhyan, who was injured in Week 7 against the Lions and subsequently missed the Week 8 meeting with the Panthers. If he's not on the field Sunday versus the Patriots, John Williams would likely take his spot in the starting lineup once again. |

Limited again Thursday
Thu, Nov 5, 2026, 7:20 PM
Banks (knee) was limited in practice Thursday.
Analysis: Banks has been battling knee and toe injuries of late. While the toe injury appears to be behind him, the lingering knee issue could keep him off the field Sunday in New England. If Banks isn't out there in Week 9, Laken Tomlinson would presumably take his spot at the left guard position. |
MarShawn Lloyd MarShawn Lloyd Dealing with knee issue
Thu, Nov 5, 2026, 3:45 PM
Lloyd was limited at practice Thursday due to a knee injury.
Analysis: Lloyd's addition to the Packers' practice report midweek is something to monitor, especially because it may indicate a health concern that occurred during Thursday's session. Ultimately, Friday's injury report may provide some clarity into the situation. |
Christian Watson Christian Watson Stays limited Thursday
Thu, Nov 5, 2026, 3:36 PM
Watson (ribs) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Watson now has back-to-back capped sessions under his belt to begin Week 9 prep, which stems from the broken rib that he suffered during last Thursday's win against the Panthers. He'll have one more chance Friday to get back to full participation, at which point the Packers may tag him with a designation for Sunday's contest at New England. |

Misses practice Thursday
Thu, Nov 5, 2026, 2:35 PM
Nixon (groin) did not practice Thursday, Weston Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: After being limited Wednesday, Nixon downgraded to DNP and appears to be at risk of missing Sunday's game against the Patriots. It's a new injury for Nixon, so it's possible he was injured in practice this week. Benjamin St-Juste and Carrington Valentine would be in line for increased snaps if Nixon needs to sit. |

Christian Watson Christian Watson Practicing in pads Thursday
Thu, Nov 5, 2026, 12:10 PM
Watson (ribs) is wearing pads for Thursday's practice, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Watson was listed as a limited participant at Wednesday's practice after sustaining a rib injury in Green Bay's Week 8 win over the Panthers. His participation level Thursday has yet to be revealed, but it's a good sign that Watson is able to practice in pads and take contact as the Packers prepare to face the Patriots on Sunday. |
Josh Jacobs Josh Jacobs Doesn't expect to miss additional action
Thu, Nov 5, 2026, 9:49 AM
Jacobs doesn't anticipate missing any additional game action due to the release of additional allegations of physical and verbal abuse against him, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: "With all the evidence that we have and that they have at this point, it's not one of those things where I'm sitting back on my hands like, 'OK, am I going to play this week?'" Jacobs said. "I'm not worried about feeling like I'm going to miss any more time than I already have." Jacobs spent the first six weeks of the season on the Commissioner's Exempt List. Those six absences would count toward any suspension the NFL hands down to Jacobs in connection with the league's investigation into his possible violations of the league's personal conduct policy. |

Limited by groin injury
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 8:35 PM
Nixon (groin) was a limited participant at the Packers' practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Nixon was able to play through a shoulder injury in the team's Week 8 win over the Panthers on Thursday Night Football, but he may have tweaked the groin injury that bothered him leading up to Week 7. The cornerback's ability to practice in any capacity is a positive sign, and he'll have two more chances to practice in full before Sunday's matchup with New England. |
Chris Brooks Chris Brooks Returns to practice
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 8:32 PM
Brooks (ankle) was designated to return from injured reserve by the Packers on Wednesday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Analysis: Brooks was a limited participant at the team's first practice of the week as Green Bay opened his 21-day practice window Wednesday. The running back has been on IR since suffering an ankle injury in Week 4 against the Buccaneers, but he could be nearing a return to action. |

Limited in return to practice
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 5:10 PM
Parson (knee) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday.
Analysis: Head coach Matt LaFleur told Matt Schneidman of The Athletic earlier Wednesday that Parsons will participate in individual drills in his return to practice. Before that could go down, though, the Packers designated him for return from the reserve/PUP list, per the NFL's transaction log. According to Ryan Wood of USA Today, Parson declined to "pinpoint a day" for his first game action since Dec. 14, 2025 at Denver, but Green Bay now has a 21-day window in which to evaluate him and determine when that'll occur. |

Christian Watson Christian Watson Limited Wednesday
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 4:09 PM
Watson (ribs) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: In the midst of making a visit to the hospital during last Thursday's win against the Panthers, he was able to return and finished with eight catches (on 10 targets) for 113 yards. Afterward, he was revealed to have a broken rib, which likely will be an injury he plays through while employing pain tolerance. In any case, Friday's injury report will unveil whether or not he enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game at New England. |

Does not practice Wednesday
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 2:59 PM
Franklin (shin) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Franklin started the week as a nonparticipant in practice Wednesday and hasn't played since Week 6 after suffering a hairline fracture in his shin. Packers head coach Matt LaFleur added Wednesday that the 30-year-old is making progress in his recovery and he hopes Franklin can return soon. The ninth-year pro has 41 tackles (18 solo), one pass deflection and one forced fumble in six games this season. |

Making return to practice Wednesday
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 11:59 AM
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that Parsons (knee) will be designated for return from the reserve/PUP list and will take part in individual work during Wednesday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Parsons will take part in practice for the first time in nearly 11 months, after a lengthy recovery from surgery to repair the ACL in his left knee, which he tore in a Dec. 14, 2025 game against the Broncos. Though LaFleur confirmed that Parsons has been cleared for full activity, the Packers are expected to limit the star edge rusher to individual work throughout Week 9. Parsons is then expected to advance to team work in Week 10, and if his knee continues to respond well to practice coming out of a Week 11 bye, he'll likely be activated from the PUP list to make his 2026 debut Nov. 25 versus the Rams. |

Racks up 10 stops in Week 8 victory
Tue, Nov 3, 2026, 10:19 PM
McDuffie finished last Thursday's 27-19 win over Carolina with 10 tackles (three solo).
Analysis: McDuffie tied with Evan Williams for the team lead in tackles. He played every one of the Packers' defensive snaps for the second straight game in the absence of Zaire Franklin (shin). McDuffie has tallied 21 tackles in the pair of contests, so he's looking like a strong IDP option, at least for as long as Franklin remains sidelined. |

Comes up huge in Week 8 win
Tue, Nov 3, 2026, 10:09 PM
Hopper recorded eight tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and three defensed passes, including an interception, in last Thursday's 27-19 victory over Carolina.
Analysis: Hopper finished third on Green Bay with his eight stops, but that was only one part of his impactful performance. The third-year linebacker picked off Bryce Young in the backfield in the second quarter to give the Packers the ball in Carolina territory, and he sacked Young early in the third period on a drive that ended in a Panthers punt. Hopper has started and logged over a 90 percent defensive snap share each of the past two weeks, and given his performance against Carolina, he doesn't figure to give up that role soon. |

Double-digit stops in win
Tue, Nov 3, 2026, 9:58 PM
Williams recorded 10 total tackles (seven solo) during Thursday night's 27-19 win over the Panthers.
Analysis: Williams finished tied for the team lead in takedowns with linebacker Isaiah McDuffie, notching double-digit stops for the fourth time this season. The safety has now compiled 71 total tackles (44 solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also adding six passes defensed, two of which are interceptions, and a fumble recovery over the first eight games of the 2026 campaign. |

Christian Watson Christian Watson Managing rib soreness ahead of Week 9
Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 2:13 PM
Packers passing game coordinator Jason Vrable said Monday that Watson (ribs) is sore but "doing great," Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Watson suffered a broken rib during this past Thursday's win over the Panthers, and while Vrable notes with regard to Watson's status for this Sunday's game against the Patriots, "We'll see as the week goes," he added that the wideout will do everything possible to get his body ready in advance of Week 9 action. In the event that Watson is unavailable, added reps behind Matthew Golden will be available for Savion Williams, Bo Melton and J. Michael Sturdivant. |

Josh Jacobs Josh Jacobs Expected to remain with team
Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 1:48 PM
Head coach Matt LaFleur said Monday that the Packers are aware of the prior physical abuse allegations involving Jacobs that recently surfaced and "anticipate him being a member" of the team moving forward, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Before making his season debut Week 7, Jacobs missed the Packers' first six games after he was placed on the commissioner's exempt list after he was officially charged Aug. 27 with two misdemeanors stemming from his May arrest for a domestic incident. The legal process related to that incident has since played out, but Jacobs' status with the team had been called into question after the NFL announced Saturday that it was reviewing additional allegations of physical and verbal abuse from three different women in incidents dating back to April 2021 that were released following a public records request. Unless the NFL elects to place him back on the exempt list while it reviews the incidents in question, Jacobs looks like he'll be available for Green Bay's next game Sunday at New England. Despite the missed time to begin the season, Jacobs has immediately settled back into a lead role in the backfield and has scored three touchdowns in two games, but he's mustered just 75 yards on 32 carries (2.3 average) to go with 11 receptions for 68 yards on 13 targets. |

On track to practice this week
Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 1:39 PM
Head coach Matt LaFleur said Monday that the Packers' "intention" is for Parsons (knee) to resume practicing in Week 9, Weston Hodkiewicz of the team's official site reports. "It's gonna be a process trying to get him back," LaFleur said. "We're hopeful he'll be able to get out there sometime this week."
Analysis: Once the Packers officially designate Parsons for return from the PUP list, the team will have 21 days to evaluate him in practice before reinstating him to the 53-man roster. Parsons, who is working his way back from the torn ACL he sustained last December, doesn't appear to be in consideration to play this Sunday against the Patriots if he resumes practicing this week. Instead, the Packers are targeting their Nov. 25 game against the Rams in Week 12 for Parsons' debut, per Ian Rapoport of ESPN. The star edge rusher is initially expected to be limited to individual work once the Packers open his 21-day window before potentially advancing to team drills in Week 10. |
