Leaves Thursday's game late
Fri, Sep 25, 2026, 5:59 PM
Monk picked up an undisclosed injury toward the tail end of the Packers' 35-14 loss to the Falcons on Thursday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Monk was attended to by medical staff during the two-minute warning of the fourth quarter. It's unclear what type of injury he's working through, though the Packers should have an update on the third-year offensive lineman once he undergoes more tests. |

Jordan Love Jordan Love Fantasy-friendly numbers in loss
Thu, Sep 24, 2026, 11:02 PM
Love completed 28 of 53 passes for 312 yards with two touchdowns and one interception and rushed once for no gain in the Packers' 35-14 loss to the Falcons on Thursday. He also committed a fumble recovered by Green Bay.
Analysis: While Love's final line was certainly a fantasy-friendly one, it was largely the byproduct of Green Bay being in deep catch-up mode in the fourth quarter and the Falcons showing a willingness to give up some yardage while in prevent mode. Love spread the ball around to nine different targets on the night, and he connected with Christian Watson (four yards) and Matthew Golden (15 yards ) -- who were by far his two most prolific options -- for his pair of touchdown passes. Love's one interception closed out the Packers' final drive with the game already out of reach, but the embattled veteran signal-caller does head into a Week 4 road matchup against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Oct. 4 averaging 281.3 passing yards per game while sporting a 6:2 TD:INT. |

Matthew Golden Matthew Golden Hits century mark in loss
Thu, Sep 24, 2026, 10:51 PM
Golden brought in five of 12 targets for 100 yards and a touchdown in the Packers' 35-14 loss to the Falcons on Thursday.
Analysis: Golden set the pace for the Packers in both receiving yards and targets with totals that also qualified as or tied new single-game career highs. The second-year wideout has hit the ground running this season, quickly generating a 15-253-1 line on 30 targets while showing clearly improved chemistry with Jordan Love. The speedster also added his first touchdown catch of the campaign on an impressive 15-yard grab in the fourth quarter where Golden had to reach behind him to reel in the ball, and he'll remain a coveted option in all fantasy formats in a Week 4 road matchup against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Oct. 4. |

Christian Watson Christian Watson Team-high catch tally in loss
Thu, Sep 24, 2026, 10:44 PM
Watson brought in seven of 10 targets for 96 yards and a touchdown in the Packers' 35-14 loss to the Falcons on Thursday.
Analysis: Watson led the Packers in receptions while finishing as the runner-up in receiving yards and targets to Matthew Golden. Watson recorded a 34-yard grab among his six receptions, and he opened the scoring on the night with a four-yard touchdown reception just before the five-minute mark of the first quarter. Watson has at least four receptions, along with 284 total receiving yards and four touchdowns, across his first three games, keeping his fantasy appeal high heading into a Week 4 road matchup against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Oct. 4. |

Draws start at left guard
Thu, Sep 24, 2026, 10:42 PM
Burton started at left guard during the Packers' 35-14 loss to the Falcons on Thursday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: With Zach Bako-Bewele (knee) done for the year, Burton drew the start at left guard Thursday. It was the first career start for Burton, a fifth-round selection of the Packers in the 2026 NFL Draft. |

Being checked for concussion
Thu, Sep 24, 2026, 9:48 PM
Cooper is being evaluated for a possible concussion and is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Falcons.
Analysis: Cooper was checked on by trainers in the blue medical staff late in the third quarter before being taken to the locker room, where he'll be evaluated further for a possible concussion. Isaiah McDuffie is in at inside linebacker alongside Zaire Franklin in Cooper's absence. |

Not playing Thursday
Thu, Sep 24, 2026, 6:20 PM
Campbell (ankle) is inactive for Thursday Night Football against the Falcons, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: The defensive lineman exited Green Bay's win over the Jets early last Sunday due to an ankle injury, but he returned to practice on a limited basis Tuesday and Wednesday. The issue, though, appears to still be serious enough to hold Campbell out for Thursday's matchup. |

Suiting up for TNF
Thu, Sep 24, 2026, 6:14 PM
Hargrave (concussion/knee) is active for Thursday Night Football against the Falcons, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: The defensive tackle entered the day with a questionable tag after practicing on a limited basis during the week leading up to the game. Hargrave had to be cleared by an independent neurologist for full contact to have a chance to play Thursday night, and it appears that he has gotten that clearance. The veteran should be ready to start at nose tackle. |

Set to start Thursday
Wed, Sep 23, 2026, 9:22 PM
Jennings (hand) does not have any injury designation ahead of Thursday night's game against the Falcons, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Jennings did not participate in Monday's estimated practice with a hand injury. The left guard upgraded to limited participation in the Tuesday and Wednesday sessions, earning the right to start at left guard Thursday in Aaron Banks' (toe) absence. |

Ruled out for Thursday
Wed, Sep 23, 2026, 9:20 PM
Banks (toe) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday night's game against the Falcons, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Banks exited the Packers' Week 2 win over the Jets in the second quarter with a toe injury. The left guard was unable to participate in any Week 3 preparation due to the injury. Donovan Jennings is set to start at left guard for Thursday's game. |

Questionable for TNF
Wed, Sep 23, 2026, 6:44 PM
Hargrave (concussion/knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday night's game against the Falcons, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reported Wednesday.
Analysis: Hargrave logged limited participation throughout the Packers' Week 3 practices as he deals with both a knee injury and a concussion. The starting nose tackle will need to be cleared by an independent neurologist for full contact by Thursday's game to be able to suit up. |

Ready for TNF
Wed, Sep 23, 2026, 6:40 PM
Cooper (shoulder) does not have any injury designation ahead of Thursday night's game against the Falcons, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Cooper was a limited participant in all three practice sessions leading up to Thursday's game. Despite being unable to log a full session, Cooper was able to avoid any injury designation and is set to be the starting inside linebacker for Thursday's contest. |

Jayden Reed Jayden Reed Officially ruled out for Week 3
Wed, Sep 23, 2026, 3:13 PM
Reed (neck) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Falcons, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: This was merely a formality after Reed was placed on a backboard and carted off the field after the Packers' second offensive play of this past Sunday's 20-17 overtime win at the Jets. He remained in the New York area afterward for further evaluation, and upon Reed's return to Green Bay on Tuesday, coach Matt LaFleur told Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com that the wide receiver's injury was contained to his neck area, and it's "way too early" to tell if he has a chance to play again this season until he undergoes additional medical tests. Christian Watson, Matthew Golden, Skyy Moore, Bo Melton and J. Michael Sturdivant will man the team's receiving corps Week 3 and beyond. |

Skyy Moore Skyy Moore Sees more action in Week 2
Tue, Sep 22, 2026, 8:15 PM
Moore caught 2 of 3 targets for six yards during Sunday's 20-17 overtime win versus the Jets.
Analysis: Moore logged just four snaps in the 39-22 loss to the Vikings in Week 1, though it was a different story in Week 2, with the wideout appearing in 21 of the Packers' 59 offensive snaps against the Jets, finishing behind Christian Watson (53) and Matthew Golden (51). However, despite the increased workload, Moore didn't do anything meaningful for fantasy managers. That's not expected to change anytime soon, even if Watson or Golden aren't available at some point moving ahead. |

Kaleb Johnson Kaleb Johnson Limited by backfield timeshare
Tue, Sep 22, 2026, 7:46 PM
Johnson compiled eight carries for 32 yards during Sunday's 20-17 overtime win versus the Jets.
Analysis: Johnson appeared in 16 of the Packers' 59 offensive snaps against the Jets, ending behind Chris Brooks (27) and tying with starter MarShawn Lloyd (16). However, none of them could get anything going, with all three players combining for 63 yards off 18 attempts. Johnson had plenty of hype entering his rookie season with the Steelers in 2025, though he wasn't very involved. With Josh Jacobs (personal) on the Commissioner's Exempt List, there will be snaps up for grabs. While that could mean more involvement from Johnson moving ahead, it seems as if head coach Matt LaFleur will continue to have all three players split carries, which isn't good news for fantasy managers, especially those looking to fill the void left by Jacobs' absence. |

Jonnu Smith Jonnu Smith No targets in overtime win
Tue, Sep 22, 2026, 7:41 PM
Smith played 13 of the Packers' 59 snaps during Sunday's 20-17 overtime win against the Jets.
Analysis: Smith was targeted three times in Green Bay's loss in Week 1, but he saw fewer snaps (13) at tight end in Week 2 than recent trade acquisition Mark Redman (20). Smith is still probably more likely to draw a target on any given snap than the in-line specialist Redman, but his snap share will be worth watching in Week 3 versus the Falcons. |

Chris Brooks Chris Brooks Remains involved in crowded backfield
Tue, Sep 22, 2026, 7:31 PM
Brooks tallied four carries for 11 yards and caught 1 of 2 targets for 15 yards during Sunday's 20-17 overtime win versus the Jets.
Analysis: Brooks was on the field for 27 of the Packers' 59 offensive snaps in Week 2, with Kaleb Johnson and MarShawn Lloyd each logging 16. However, Brooks ceded carries to both players, and he tied Lloyd with two targets. The 26-year-old has totaled 40 yards off 11 carries (3.6 YPC), adding one catch for 15 yards in his two regular-season appearances in 2026. While Josh Jacobs (personal) sits on the Commissioner's Exempt List, there will continue to be opportunities for Brooks, Lloyd and Johnson, though it appears head coach Matt LaFleur is content with a timeshare, lowering the ceiling for all of them moving ahead, including the Week 3 meeting with Atlanta. |

Jayden Reed Jayden Reed Back in Green Bay, still without timeline
Tue, Sep 22, 2026, 5:16 PM
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Tuesday that Reed has returned to Green Bay to undergo further testing and consultations with doctors for his neck injury, Ryan Wood of USA Today. The wide receiver remains without a timeline for a return.
Analysis: After he appeared to take a hit to the head and neck area at the end of a four-yard gain on a swing pass early in the first quarter of Sunday's 20-17 overtime win over the Jets, Reed was carted off the field on a backboard and taken to a New Jersey hospital, where he remained overnight. Though a previous report suggested that Reed sustained a back injury, LaFleur clarified Tuesday that the injury is isolated to the receiver's neck area. LaFleur noted that Reed was in good spirits upon returning to Green Bay, but the coach acknowledged that it's still "way too early" to know whether the wideout has a chance of playing again this season until he completes more medical tests, per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com. The Packers are expected to officially rule Reed out for Thursday's game against the Falcons following the release of their final Week 3 injury report Wednesday. |

Jayden Reed Jayden Reed Spectator for practice Tuesday
Tue, Sep 22, 2026, 3:48 PM
Reed (neck) was listed as a non-participant for Tuesday's walkthrough practice.
Analysis: Per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic, Reed flew back to Green Bay after he was hospitalized overnight in New Jersey following Sunday's 20-17 overtime win over the Jets. He exited on the Packers' opening possession of that game due to a neck injury and needed to be stretchered off the field before he was taken to a hospital. Packers head coach Matt LaFleur has yet to provide a timeline for Reed's return to action, but at the very least, the fourth-year wideout appears unlikely to play Thursday versus the Falcons. |
