Dontayvion Wicks Dontayvion Wicks Remains limited in practice
Thu, Dec 11, 2025, 4:48 PM
Wicks (ankle) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday.
Analysis: For a second week in a row, Wicks is enduring practice restrictions due to an ankle injury, which capped him to six snaps and no targets this past Sunday versus the Bears. The Packers have three other wide receivers also limited this week: Jayden Reed (shoulder), Matthew Golden (wrist) and Savion Williams (foot). Friday's practice report will unveil who among the quartet will head into the weekend without designations for Sunday's game at Denver. |

MarShawn Lloyd MarShawn Lloyd Another limited practice
Thu, Dec 11, 2025, 4:47 PM
Lloyd (calf) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Lloyd is in the midst of his second week of practicing with Green Bay after having his 21-day evaluation window opened Dec. 1. He's been a limited participant in each of Green Bay's ensuing five practices, and given that he's been on injured reserve all season, he may need to log multiple full sessions before getting cleared to make his 2025 debut. Whenever he's reinstated, Lloyd may not be in line for much of a role out of the Green Bay backfield, as Emanuel Wilson has proven to be a competent backup option this season behind lead back Josh Jacobs (knee). |

Matthew Golden Matthew Golden Stays limited at practice
Thu, Dec 11, 2025, 4:45 PM
Golden (wrist) was limited at Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Golden has been listed with a wrist injury since Week 12 prep that sidelined him for two games and capped him at five offensive snaps and one target, which he didn't catch, in this past Sunday's win over the Bears. He joins Jayden Reed (shoulder), Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) and Savion Williams (foot) as limited participants this week as the Packers' receiving corps continues to be beset by injuries. Friday's practice report will reveal whether or not Golden enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's contest in Denver. |

Savion Williams Savion Williams Remains limited in practice
Thu, Dec 11, 2025, 4:44 PM
Williams (foot) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Williams has sat out the Packers' last two games due to a foot injury, but he's displayed some progress this week by practicing in a limited fashion on consecutive days. The rookie receiver will likely still need to put in a full practice Friday in order to avoid carrying a designation into Sunday's game at Denver. |

Jayden Reed Jayden Reed Another limited session
Thu, Dec 11, 2025, 4:40 PM
Reed (shoulder) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: All of Reed, Matthew Golden (wrist), Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) and Savion Williams (foot) are operating with practice restrictions this week, so it'll be interesting to see who among them will ditch designations and enter the weekend healthy along with Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs and Bo Melton for Sunday's contest at Denver. In his first game action since Week 2 this past Sunday against the Bears, Reed gathered in all four targets for 31 yards and took two carries for 22 yards on a 47 percent snap share. |

Josh Jacobs Josh Jacobs Misses practice, still day-to-day
Thu, Dec 11, 2025, 2:09 PM
Jacobs didn't practice Thursday but said afterward that his injured knee is structurally sound, and he considers himself day-to-day as Sunday's game in Denver approaches, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: After sitting out the Packers' Week 12 win over the Vikings due to the knee injury, Jacobs returned to action for both of the team's ensuing two games and handled his typical workloads in both contests. However, Jacobs noted that the knee stiffened up on him in this past Sunday's 28-21 win over the Bears, prompting the Packers to send him in for an MRI on Monday. Though the scan revealed nothing concerning, the Packers have nonetheless held Jacobs out for both of their first two Week 15 practices, which puts a cloud over his status for Sunday. Jacobs would likely assuage some of the concern about his availability for the weekend by practicing Friday, even if only in a limited capacity. In the event Jacobs is forced to miss his second game of the season, Emanuel Wilson would likely step in as Green Bay's lead back, as he did in Week 12. |

Josh Jacobs Josh Jacobs Set to miss another practice
Thu, Dec 11, 2025, 11:01 AM
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that Jacobs (knee) is unlikely to practice Thursday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports. "He's been battling through it. We'll see," LaFleur said, regarding Jacobs' status for Sunday's game in Denver.
Analysis: Jacobs first sustained his knee injury in the Packers' Week 11 win over the Giants, but after sitting out a Week 12 victory over Minnesota, he returned to a leading role out of the backfield for both of the past two games. However, the 27-year-old is feeling a bit more banged up than anticipated after handling 22 touches in this past Sunday's win over the Bears, prompting the Packers to take a cautious approach with him in practice this week. With Jacobs set to go down as a non-participant for the second straight day, he'll likely need to practice in some fashion Friday for fantasy managers to feel good about his chances of playing against Denver. |

Savion Williams Savion Williams Limited in practice
Wed, Dec 10, 2025, 5:08 PM
Williams (foot) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Williams missed the past two games, and he probably wouldn't get much playing time even if he were healthy now that the Packers have all of their veteran wideouts available. |
|
MarShawn Lloyd MarShawn Lloyd Remains limited in practice
Wed, Dec 10, 2025, 5:07 PM
Lloyd (calf) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Lloyd has been a limited participant in each practice since the Packers designated him to return from injured reserve last week. He won't necessarily contribute this season even if deemed healthy enough to do so, as Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks appear to be trusted with backup roles behind Josh Jacobs. |
|
Jayden Reed Jayden Reed Limited in practice
Wed, Dec 10, 2025, 5:05 PM
Reed (shoulder) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: It's interesting to see Reed listed with only a shoulder injury, considering he dealt with a Jones fracture in his foot earlier this season (in addition to the broken collarbone). In any case, he returned from an absence of nearly three months to handle a 48 percent snap share and a 65 percent route share during Sunday's 28-21 win over the Bears. Reed finished with four catches for 31 yards and two carries for 22 yards, essentially returning to his full pre-injury role. |

Matthew Golden Matthew Golden Limited due to wrist
Wed, Dec 10, 2025, 5:02 PM
Golden (wrist) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Golden returned from a two-game absence to play just 10 percent of snaps on offense in Sunday's 28-21 win over the Bears. Reporters have suggested that Golden and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) might have played more if they'd been healthy, but it also seems like Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs and Jayden Reed are the top three on the depth chart. |

Dontayvion Wicks Dontayvion Wicks Bothered by ankle
Wed, Dec 10, 2025, 5:00 PM
Wicks (ankle) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Wicks was listed with an ankle injury last week but didn't have a designation for Sunday's eventual win over Chicago. He played just 10 percent of snaps in the contest -- one week after scoring a pair of TDs against the Lions -- but that was partially a product of Jayden Reed returning from injured reserve. It is possible that Wicks would've played more without the ankle injury; just probably not enough to warrant fantasy consideration. |

Josh Jacobs Josh Jacobs Resting knee again
Wed, Dec 10, 2025, 4:55 PM
Jacobs (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Schneidmann suggests Jacobs' absence is likely just maintenance for the knee injury that he played through the past two games (after missing Week 12). Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports that Jacobs was riding a stationary bike and doing work off to the side while his teammates practiced Wednesday. A return to practice Thursday would confirm that Jacobs is on track to play through the knee injury again. |

Josh Whyle Josh Whyle Notches 21-yard catch in win
Wed, Dec 10, 2025, 11:37 AM
Whyle reeled in his lone target for a 21-yard reception in Sunday's 28-21 win over the Bears.
Analysis: Whyle took the field for 22 of Green Bay's 53 snaps on offense, with his 42 percent share placing him behind John FitzPatrick (57 percent) and Luke Musgrave (40 percent) as the Packers continue to take a committee approach at tight end following Tucker Kraft's season-ending knee injury. Since being signed to the 53-man roster in early November, Whyle has produced a 3-24-1 receiving line on four targets over five games. |

John FitzPatrick John FitzPatrick Tallies two receptions
Mon, Dec 8, 2025, 2:33 PM
FitzPatrick was targeted twice and caught two passes for 14 yards in Sunday's 28-21 victory over the Bears.
Analysis: FitzPatrick led Packers tight ends in snaps for the third time in four games after falling behind both Luke Musgrave and Josh Whyle in Week 13, but as was the case previously, it did not lead to much in the box score. While FitzPatrick has the edge in playing time, Musgrave remains the Packers tight end to consider for fantasy purposes with Tucker Kraft (knee) out for the season. |
|
Chris Brooks Chris Brooks Limited to lone reception
Mon, Dec 8, 2025, 2:21 PM
Wilson was targeted once and caught one pass for six yards in Sunday's 28-21 victory over the Bears.
Analysis: Brooks got a season-high 29 snaps in Week 12 with starting running back Josh Jacobs unavailable, and he still logged 18 the following week with Jacobs back in action. However, he was on the field for only eight plays in Sunday's contest. Fellow reserve Emanuel Wilson received just as many, but he did get three touches compared to only the one for Brooks. Brooks should continue seeing a few snaps on passing downs, but Wilson remains the top option behind Jacobs, and both may fill only bit roles with the starter back at full speed. |

Emanuel Wilson Emanuel Wilson Workload remains limited
Mon, Dec 8, 2025, 2:17 PM
Wilson had three carries for 10 yards in Sunday's 28-21 victory over the Bears. He also returned two kickoffs for 55 yards.
Analysis: It was not long ago that Wilson racked up 12 touches against the Giants and a whopping 30 touches against the Vikings with starting running back Josh Jacobs exiting the first contest due to injury and sitting out the second one altogether, but Jacobs handled the bulk of the backfield work in his Week 13 return, and he did the same Sunday. With Jacobs healthy and the Packers potentially playing must-win games the rest of the way, it's looking like Jacobs will be the bell cow while Wilson spells the starter as needed. |

Matthew Golden Matthew Golden Limited by wrist issue
Mon, Dec 8, 2025, 11:53 AM
Golden was limited by a wrist injury in Sunday's 28-21 victory over the Bears, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com.
Analysis: Golden played only five snaps in Week 14 after missing a pair of contests with a wrist issue, and although his snap count may have taken a hit regardless with Jayden Reed returning, the lack of playing time was at least partly due to his injury. Golden could be more involved in Week 15 if he is able to shed his injury tag by Friday, but even still, his role will likely remain limited with all of Reed, Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs healthy and ahead of him on the depth chart. |
|
Dontayvion Wicks Dontayvion Wicks Slowed by injury
Mon, Dec 8, 2025, 11:29 AM
Wicks was limited by an ankle injury in Sunday's 28-21 victory over the Bears, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com.
Analysis: Wicks was not listed on Green Bay's final injury report for Week 14, but he played only six snaps due to the ankle injury that slowed him last week as well. The Packers are as healthy at the wide receiver position as they have been in a while, so even when back at 100 percent, it will be tough for Wicks to come anywhere close to replicating the 94 yards and two scores he racked up against the Lions in Week 13. |

Luke Musgrave Luke Musgrave Two snags in victory
Sun, Dec 7, 2025, 10:49 PM
Musgrave caught two of four targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 28-21 win over Chicago.
Analysis: Musgrave corralled multiple passes for the first time since Week 10, and his day was nearly much more impressive, narrowly failing to reel in a 34-yard throw from Jordan Love in the first quarter. The tight end has had an opportunity to carve out a larger role for himself on offense with Tucker Kraft (knee) done for the year, but Musgrave's production has remained underwhelming. |
