Jordan Love Jordan Love Two turnovers in loss
Sun, Dec 14, 2025, 9:36 PM
Love completed 24 of 40 passes for 276 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Broncos. He added three rushes for 29 yards.
Analysis: Love attempted at least 40 passes for only the second time this season, and for the first time since Week 4. He had plenty of strong moments, highlighted by four completions of at least 20 yards, as well as a scramble that picked up 24 yards. Love's lone touchdown of the game came on a lofted pass to the back corner of the end zone to Josh Jacobs from 14 yards away. While those moments helped keep the Packers in the game, Love threw a pair of key picks -- one that led to a Broncos touchdown and another that ended a potential game-tying drive late in the fourth quarter. He should have the chance to bounce back in a softer Week 16 matchup in an NFC North showdown with the Bears. |

Josh Jacobs Josh Jacobs Two TDs in losing effort
Sun, Dec 14, 2025, 7:57 PM
Jacobs rushed the ball 12 times for 73 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Broncos. He added two receptions on three targets for 19 yards and a touchdown.
Analysis: Jacobs' status for this matchup looked to be in doubt for much of the week, as he didn't take the practice field until Friday due to a knee injury. However, he popped for several big plays against the Broncos, including a 40-yard rushing touchdown and an impressive 14-yard score on a contested catch in the corner of the end zone. After being reliant upon touchdowns and volume for long stretches early in the season, Jacobs has recorded a gain of at least 20 yards on the ground in three straight contests. He also has at least 70 rushing yards in five of his last six games. |

Christian Watson Christian Watson Cleared to fly home
Sun, Dec 14, 2025, 7:57 PM
Watson (chest) has been released from the hospital and is flying home with the Packers, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Watson was taken to the hospital after suffering a chest injury during Sunday's loss to the Broncos, but he has gained clearance to return home. The next update on Watson's status will surface no later than Tuesday, when the Packers resume practicing ahead of Saturday's game against the Bears. |

Christian Watson Christian Watson Hospitalized after chest injury
Sun, Dec 14, 2025, 7:14 PM
Watson (chest) was taken to the hospital after getting hurt during Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Broncos, head coach Matt LaFleur said after the game, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: LaFleur doesn't know if Watson will be cleared to accompany the team back to Green Bay on Sunday night. The wide receiver got hurt while diving for an errant pass that was intercepted by Patrick Surtain in the fourth quarter. The Packers' next game will be Saturday night at Chicago. |

Christian Watson Christian Watson Ruled out from returning Sunday
Sun, Dec 14, 2025, 5:51 PM
Watson (chest) won't return to Sunday's game in Denver.
Analysis: Watson remained down for several minutes while attempting to haul in a deep shot from QB Jordan Love early in the fourth quarter that Broncos CB Patrick Surtain ended up corralling for an interception. A chest injury will keep Watson on the sideline for the rest of Week 15, meaning his next chance to suit up is next Saturday at Chicago. In Watson's stead, Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Matthew Golden, Dontayvion Wicks and Bo Melton are the healthy and available wide receivers for the Packers on Sunday. |

Christian Watson Christian Watson Suffers chest injury in Week 15
Sun, Dec 14, 2025, 5:35 PM
Watson departed Sunday's contest at Denver due to a chest injury.
Analysis: QB Jordan Love took a deep shot to Watson early in the third quarter, but Broncos All-Pro QB Patrick Surtain swooped in front of the wideout for a diving interception. Watson remained on the turf for several minutes after appearing to land hard on his left shoulder, but the Packers eventually announced him as questionable to return due to a chest issue. If Watson doesn't retake the field, he'll end Week 15 with three catches (on five targets) for 29 yards and no touchdowns. With Savion Williams (foot) inactive Sunday, the Packers currently are down to Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Matthew Golden, Dontayvion Wicks and Bo Melton at wide receiver. |

Josh Whyle Josh Whyle Won't return vs. Denver
Sun, Dec 14, 2025, 3:54 PM
Whyle (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Broncos.
Analysis: Whyle has entered the league's concussion protocol after being shaken up in the first quarter of Sunday's game. John FitzPatrick will be the lone backup tight end behind Luke Musgrave the rest of the way. |
|
Josh Whyle Josh Whyle Possible concussion
Sun, Dec 14, 2025, 3:47 PM
Whyle is being evaluated for a possible concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Broncos.
Analysis: Whyle was shaken up early in the first quarter when attempting to block Broncos safety Talanoa Hufanga. John FitzPatrick should see more offensive snaps for as long as Whyle is out of the game. |

Pierre Strong Pierre Strong Inactive for Week 15
Sun, Dec 14, 2025, 2:13 PM
Strong (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Strong was elevated from the practice squad Saturday, but his services are not needed Sunday after Josh Jacobs (knee) and Emanuel Wilson (illness) were both cleared to play. Strong has been elevated three times this season, so he'll need to be signed to the active roster in order to play for the Packers for the rest of 2025. |

Savion Williams Savion Williams Not playing vs. Denver
Sun, Dec 14, 2025, 2:11 PM
Williams (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Williams drew the questionable tag for Sunday's game after logging three consecutive limited practices, but he will end up being sidelined for a third straight game due to a foot injury. With the rookie third-rounder sidelined, Bo Melton and Emanuel Wilson will likely handle return duties. Williams will aim to return for the Packers' Week 16 tilt against the Bears on Saturday. |

Emanuel Wilson Emanuel Wilson Suiting up Sunday despite illness
Sun, Dec 14, 2025, 2:01 PM
Wilson (illness) is active for Sunday's contest at Denver, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Wilson was tacked on to the Packers' Week 15 injury report Saturday due to an illness and deemed questionable for Sunday. Adam Schefter of ESPN later reported that Wilson showed up to team facilities earlier Saturday under the weather and was sent home with medication with the aim he'd feel well enough to play this weekend. Wilson at least will be available to Green Bay's offense, but he may only be available in an emergency capacity behind Josh Jacobs (knee), while Chris Brooks also is on hand for snaps. |

Josh Jacobs Josh Jacobs Officially active in Week 15
Sun, Dec 14, 2025, 1:58 PM
Jacobs (knee) is listed as active Sunday at Denver, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Jacobs has been tending to a knee injury since he sustained it during a Week 11 win at the Giants, sitting out Week 12 but leading the Packers backfield the last two games. He then experienced renewed stiffness and swelling in the knee in the wake of last Sunday's victory against the Bears, sitting out practice Wednesday and Thursday before logging a limited session Friday. Despite Jacobs being tagged as questionable entering the weekend, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Saturday evening that he was expected to play Week 15, which has been confirmed. With No. 2 RB Emanuel Wilson dealing with an illness but still active Sunday, Jacobs should be Green Bay's primary option out of the backfield, while Chris Brooks also is on hand for snaps. |

Emanuel Wilson Emanuel Wilson Likely to be game-time call Sunday
Sat, Dec 13, 2025, 10:53 PM
Wilson (illness), who is questionable for Sunday's Week 15 matchup against Denver, will see how he feels in the morning before a determination is made about his availability, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Per Schefter, Wilson showed up at Green Bay's training facility with a virus Saturday and was sent home with medication. While the team hopes the running back has recovered enough to play Sunday, it sounds like that decision won't be made until he checks in with the Packers early Sunday. Starting RB Josh Jacobs (knee) is expected to suit up against Denver, according to Schefter, but if Wilson sits out, more carries could be available for Chris Brooks and practice-squad elevation Pierre Strong. |

Josh Jacobs Josh Jacobs Likely to play against Denver
Sat, Dec 13, 2025, 10:15 PM
Jacobs, who is officially questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Broncos due to a knee issue, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Jacobs missed Week 12 due to the same injury, but he was able to play through the issue each of the past two weeks. It appears he'll do the same Sunday despite logging a DNP/DNP/LP practice progression this week and reportedly dealing with increased swelling. It remains to be seen if Jacobs will be limited in any way as a result of the balky knee, and as it is, he doesn't have a great matchup -- Denver is tied for fourth in the NFL in rushing yards allowed to running backs through 13 games. |

MarShawn Lloyd MarShawn Lloyd Dealing with another injury
Sat, Dec 13, 2025, 1:44 PM
Lloyd, who was already dealing with a calf issue, sustained a hamstring injury in practice leading up to Sunday's matchup against the Broncos, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Lloyd didn't practice Friday after picking up this hamstring injury and has already been ruled out for the Week 15 contest. He has one week remaining to be activated to the Packers' active roster before reverting to injured reserve for the remainder of the season, leaving his availability for the rest of the year in doubt. Lloyd, a 2024 third-round pick from USC, has played in just one game since entering the league due to a variety of injury problems. While he remains sidelined Sunday, Chris Brooks and Pierre Strong are the only running backs on Green Bay's active roster without an injury designation. |

Pierre Strong Pierre Strong Joins active roster
Sat, Dec 13, 2025, 1:31 PM
Strong was elevated from the Packers' practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
Analysis: With Josh Jacobs (knee, questionable) and Emanuel Wilson (illness, questionable) both on the Packers' injury report, Strong's elevation provides much-needed depth at running back. If Jacobs or Wilson were to miss Sunday's matchup against the Broncos, Strong would likely play a depth role in Green Bay's backfield. |

Emanuel Wilson Emanuel Wilson Questionable due to illness
Sat, Dec 13, 2025, 1:16 PM
Wilson was added to the Packers' injury report Saturday due to an illness, and he is now listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
Analysis: The illness is a new issue for Wilson, as he wasn't listed on the Packers' injury report during Week 15 prep. He has served as the Packers' primary backup running back for Josh Jacobs this season, and the latter is working through increased swelling in his knee that also has him in jeopardy of missing Sunday's contest. The Packers reinforced their backfield depth Saturday by elevating Pierre Strong from the practice squad, and if one or both of Jacobs and Wilson were to be sidelined for Week 15, then Strong and Chris Brooks would be in line for increased roles on offense against Denver. |

MarShawn Lloyd MarShawn Lloyd Not ready to return
Fri, Dec 12, 2025, 4:46 PM
Lloyd (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Lloyd continues to progress in his recovery from a calf injury that landed him on injured reserve to open the season. He has been limited in practice since being designated to return from IR on Dec. 1 and is not quite ready to make his 2025 regular-season debut, which leaves Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks as the top backfield depth options behind Josh Jacobs (knee). Lloyd's next opportunity to suit up is Week 16 against the Bears on Saturday, Dec. 20. |

Savion Williams Savion Williams Questionable to play Denver
Fri, Dec 12, 2025, 4:33 PM
Williams (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Williams was limited all week in practice and has a chance to return Sunday from a two-game absence due to a foot injury. The rookie third-rounder hasn't seen much work on offense, but his return would give the Packers another return weapon on kickoffs. If Williams is not cleared to play, then Bo Melton and Emanuel Wilson would continue to handle the return duties on kickoffs. |

Dontayvion Wicks Dontayvion Wicks Ready for Sunday
Fri, Dec 12, 2025, 4:09 PM
Wicks (ankle) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest in Denver, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Wicks followed up back-to-back limited sessions to kick off Week 15 prep with a full practice Friday, indicating that his lingering ankle injury likely isn't much of an issue any longer. With all of Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed (shoulder), Matthew Golden (wrist) and Bo Melton also in the clear for Sunday, Wicks' workload is up in the air, especially after he earned just six offensive snaps and no targets during a Week 14 win against the Bears. |
