Savion Williams
Savion Williams Unable to practice
Thu, Jan 1, 2026, 7:16 PM
Williams (foot/illness) did not participate at practice Thursday.
Analysis: Williams took a step backwards Thursday after opening the week as a limited participant Wednesday. The wide receiver was unavailable for the team's Week 17 loss to the Ravens, and he's now potentially trending towards another absence Sunday against the Vikings. Williams will have one more chance to practice Friday and ultimately suit up for the Packers' regular-season finale.
Dontayvion Wicks
Dontayvion Wicks DNP again Thursday
Thu, Jan 1, 2026, 7:13 PM
Wicks (concussion) didn't practice Thursday.
Analysis: Wicks thus hasn't practiced in any capacity since he suffered a concussion this past Saturday versus the Ravens. Considering he appears to have multiple hurdles to surpass in order to gaine clearance from the protocol for head injuries, he may be in danger of missing his third game of the season Sunday at Minnesota.
Jayden Reed
Jayden Reed Limited with illness
Thu, Jan 1, 2026, 6:32 PM
Reed (illness) was limited at practice Thursday.
Analysis: An illness has capped Reed's practice reps this week, leaving him just one more chance to mix into drills Friday before the Packers potentially tag him with a designation for Sunday's contest at Minnesota. Since he returned to action Week 14 following an IR stint, he's hauled in 16 of 17 targets for 162 yards and no touchdowns over the last four games.
Malik Willis
Malik Willis Still limited at practice
Thu, Jan 1, 2026, 6:05 PM
Willis (right shoulder/hamstring) practiced on a limited basis Thursday.
Analysis: Willis maintained his activity level from Wednesday's session as he tends to the right shoulder injury that he aggravated this past Saturday against the Ravens. Even if he's able to enter the weekend without a designation for Sunday's game at Minnesota, he doesn't have a chance to start, as coach Matt LaFleur announced Thursday that Clayton Tune will get the Week 18 nod, while Jordan Love cleared concussion protocol.
Josh Jacobs
Josh Jacobs Limited again Thursday
Thu, Jan 1, 2026, 4:04 PM
Jacobs (knee/ankle) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.
Analysis: Jacobs has been battling lower-body injuries since he sustained a knee injury Week 11 at the Giants. He sat out Week 12 against the Vikings as a result, but he's suited up for each of the last five contests, totaling 73 touches during that span. Jacobs actually ranked third among Packers RBs in offensive snaps (13) behind Chris Brooks (21) and Emanuel Wilson (17) in Week 17, and with the team locked in to the No. 7 seed in the NFC side of the playoffs, Jacobs could find himself inactive Sunday at Minnesota to get him as healthy as possible for the postseason.
Clayton Tune
Clayton Tune Set for Week 18 start
Thu, Jan 1, 2026, 11:10 AM
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Thursday that Tune will start Sunday's regular-season finale on the road against Minnesota, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Tune will start Week 18 despite Jordan Love having fully cleared the NFL's concussion protocol, with Green Bay already having secured the No. 7 seed on the NFC side of the playoffs and opting to prioritize the health of its starters. Per Weston Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site, it has not yet been determined who will operate as Tune's backup versus the Vikings on Sunday between Malik Willis (shoulder/hamstring) and recent practice-squad signee Desmond Ridder, or even Love. It will be a tough ask for Tune to find much success against Minnesota and defensive coordinator Brian Flores, especially if Green Bay decides to rest other offensive starters at the skill positions.
Jordan Love
Jordan Love Clears protocol, won't start
Thu, Jan 1, 2026, 10:57 AM
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Thursday that Love has cleared the NFL's concussion protocol but that Clayton Tune will start at quarterback for Sunday's regular-season finale on the road against Minnesota, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.
Analysis: Love is on track to sit during Week 18 action as Green Bay prioritizes maintaining the starting quarterback's health for the postseason, an unsurprising decision given that the team is already locked into the No. 7 seed in the NFC side of the playoffs. LaFleur said the Packers are still working through the process of determining the backup for Tune, Weston Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports, with candidates presumably including both Malik Willis (shoulder/hamstring) and recent practice-squad signee Desmond Ridder. As such, Love wraps the regular season with 14 appearances, in which span he completed 291 of 439 pass attempts for 3,381 yards, 23 touchdowns and six interceptions. He also rushed 47 times for 199 yards.
Savion Williams
Savion Williams Records limited practice Wednesday
Wed, Dec 31, 2025, 6:46 PM
Williams (foot/illness) participated in practice in a limited fashion Wednesday.
Analysis: Williams missed last Saturday's loss to Baltimore due to a foot injury and an illness, but he seems to have a chance of returning to action Sunday in Minnesota. It's possible the illness was the primary cause of the rookie's absence against the Ravens, as he's been dealing with the foot issue for some time and was deemed full throughout last week before he was deemed questionable to play because of the illness. The Packers are slated to rest multiple starters this Sunday since they are locked into the No. 7 playoff seed in the NFC, so Williams could have a larger role on offense than usual if he's able to suit up.
Jayden Reed
Jayden Reed Dealing with illness
Wed, Dec 31, 2025, 5:00 PM
Reed was limited at Wednesday's practice due to an illness.
Analysis: An illness has been sweeping the Packers' locker room the last two weeks, and Reed was among four players on the active roster to be impacted to kick off Week 18 prep. Since he returned to action from a lengthy IR stint Week 14, he's produced a modest 16-162-0 line on 17 targets over the last four games. In any case, Reed's status bears monitoring as the weekend approaches to get a sense of his odds to play Sunday in Minnesota, especially after coach Matt LaFleur told Matt Schneidman of The Athletic on Wednesday that some starters won't play this weekend.
Malik Willis
Malik Willis Limited practice Wednesday
Wed, Dec 31, 2025, 4:28 PM
Willis (right shoulder/hamstring) practiced on a limited basis Wednesday.
Analysis: During the open portion of Wednesday's session, Willis didn't throw, unlike No. 1 QB Jordan Love (left shoulder/concussion) and practice-squad members Clayton Tune and Desmond Ridder, per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com. Love ended up logging his first full practice since he suffered a head injury Week 16 in Chicago, and while he remains in the concussion protocol, per coach Matt LaFleur, he told Matt Schneidman of The Athletic at the same time that some starters won't play Sunday at Minnesota. Who will be under center for the Packers this weekend remains to be seen, but with the team locked into the No. 7 seed in the NFC side of the postseason, LaFleur may err on the side of caution with Love and even Willis to prioritize health for the wild-card round.
Josh Jacobs
Josh Jacobs Limited Wednesday
Wed, Dec 31, 2025, 4:22 PM
Jacobs (knee/ankle) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday.
Analysis: Despite heading into the Packers' Week 17 matchup with the Ravens without a designation, Jacobs played the third-most offensive snaps (13) among Green Bay running backs behind Chris Brooks' 21 and Emanuel Wilson's 17. The result was Jacobs' least productive game of the season (five touches for three total yards). Coach Matt LaFleur told Matt Schneidman of The Athletic on Wednesday that some starters won't play Sunday in Minnesota, and with the Packers locked into the No. 7 seed in the NFC side of the playoffs, Jacobs may be among those players to ensure he's as healthy as possible for the wild-card round.
Jordan Love
Jordan Love Full practice Wednesday
Wed, Dec 31, 2025, 4:14 PM
Love (left shoulder/concussion) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: This marks Love's first uncapped session since he sustained a concussion Week 16 at Chicago, but coach Matt LaFleur told Matt Schneidman of The Athletic earlier Wednesday that Love still was in the concussion protocol, while also saying some starters won't suit up Sunday in Minnesota. Although No. 2 QB Malik Willis (right shoulder/hamstring) was limited Wednesday, he wasn't among the signal-callers (Love and practice-squad members Clayton Tune and Desmond Ridder) spotted throwing, according to Demovsky. The Packers are locked into the No. 7 seed in the NFC side of the playoffs, so they don't have much incentive to put Love or even Willis in harms way, but it remains anyone guess who among that duo or Tune will be under center for Green Bay this weekend.
Clayton Tune
Clayton Tune Signed to active roster
Wed, Dec 31, 2025, 4:07 PM
The Packers signed Tune to the active roster from the practice squad Wednesday.
Analysis: Packers head coach Matt LaFleur has already announced that the team will rest some starters during Sunday's regular-season finale against the Vikings, per Zach Kruse of USA Today. With Jordan Love (concussion) and Malik Willis (shoulder) both less than 100 percent healthy, that could pave the way for Tune to start Sunday. Green Bay also inked veteran quarterback Desmond Ridder to the practice squad Wednesday.
Dontayvion Wicks
Dontayvion Wicks No practice Wednesday
Wed, Dec 31, 2025, 12:42 PM
Wicks (concussion) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Wicks was forced out of Saturday's loss to the Ravens in the second quarter and didn't return after undergoing a concussion evaluation. With no on-field work to speak of to kick off Week 18 prep, he appears to be on the outside looking in to suit up for Sunday's regular-season finale at Minnesota. Ultimately, the Packers may make a ruling on Wicks' availability by the time they post their final injury report of the week Friday.
Jordan Love
Jordan Love Still in protocol, some starters to rest
Wed, Dec 31, 2025, 11:27 AM
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Wednesday that Love (shoulder/concussion) will practice but remains in the NFL's five-step protocol for brain injuries, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Love was listed as a limited participant at all three of Green Bay's practice sessions prior to being ruled out for the team's loss to Baltimore in Week 17, in which backup Malik Willis (shoulder) also suffered an injury late, leading to third-string quarterback Clayton Tune taking the field. Per Zach Kruse of USA Today, LaFleur confirmed Wednesday that some starters will be held out of Sunday's regular-season finale against the Vikings, since the Packers are already locked into the No. 7 playoff seed in the NFC. While LaFleur declined to specify which starters won't play, it could make sense to allow both Love and Willis time to get healthy for the postseason, even if one or both are cleared to play Week 18. Green Bay is signing Desmond Ridder to the practice squad Wednesday, a move that provides the team with additional depth alongside Tune in case Love and/or Willis are unavailable versus Minnesota.
Jordan Love
Jordan Love Status TBD for Week 18
Mon, Dec 29, 2025, 10:45 AM
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said after Saturday's 41-24 loss to the Ravens that Love (concussion) will resume starting over Malik Willis (shoulder) when healthy, but he declined to confirm whether the team would rest any players during Sunday's regular-season finale against the Vikings, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: "[Love] is our franchise quarterback," LaFleur said, "and when he is healthy, he's going to be our starter." Willis was forced out late Week 17 versus Baltimore and replaced by third-string quarterback Clayton Tune, which leaves Green Bay's QB situation very murky heading into Week 18. While Willis reportedly could have returned Saturday had the game still been close, the Packers are already locked into the No. 7 seed in the NFC playoffs, giving LaFleur plenty of incentive to allow both banged-up signal-callers a week to rest even if they are cleared to play versus Minnesota.
Emanuel Wilson
Emanuel Wilson Four touches in Week 17
Sun, Dec 28, 2025, 7:54 PM
Wilson rushed three times for 16 yards and caught his only target for eight yards in Saturday's 41-24 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Wilson, along with the rest of the Packers' running backs, was limited to minimal production in Week 17. Starter Josh Jacobs churned out three yards on four carries and caught one pass for no gain in the game while battling through a calf issue. With Green Bay locked in as the No. 7 seed in the NFC playoffs, it's possible that Jacobs is rested and Wilson earns the nod as the team's lead back in Week 18 versus the Vikings.
Malik Willis
Malik Willis Uncertain to start Week 18
Sun, Dec 28, 2025, 8:10 AM
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur was non-committal after Saturday's 41-24 loss to the Ravens regarding whether Willis (shoulder) or Jordan Love (concussion) would start Week 18 against the Vikings, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: With Love inactive for the first time all season in Week 17 after being placed in concussion protocol, Willis -- who had been listed as questionable heading into Saturday due to a right shoulder injury and illness -- was called upon to make a spot start. Though the Green Bay defense couldn't slow down the Derrick Henry-led Baltimore ground attack, Willis did his part to keep the Packers competitive. The dual-threat signal-caller carved up the Ravens for 60 yards and two scores on nine carries and completed 18 of 21 passes for 288 yards and one touchdown before he exited the contest midway through the fourth quarter after he appeared to aggravate his shoulder injury on a throw. Though Willis didn't check back into the game following a brief trip to the locker room, Demovsky relays that the 26-year-old was available to return to the game and likely would have replaced third-stringer Clayton Tune at quarterback for the Packers' ensuing possession had the Ravens not extended their lead to 17 with less than two minutes remaining. As a result of the loss, the Packers are locked into the No. 7 seed in the NFC playoffs, a reality that could prompt LaFleur to exercise caution with the usage of either or both Love and Willis in the regular-season finale. Expect LaFleur to shed more light on his plans at quarterback when the Packers reconvene Wednesday for their first official Week 18 practice.
Christian Watson
Christian Watson Bright spot for Packers
Sat, Dec 27, 2025, 10:38 PM
Watson recorded five receptions on six targets for 113 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 41-24 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Watson has been limited by his own injuries and the absence of Jordan Love (concussion) in recent weeks. However, he was the primary driver of the team's offense through the air in Saturday's loss while surpassing 100 receiving yards for the first time since Week 14 of the 2024 season. Watson logged long receptions of 39, 31 and 23 yards, the longest of which went for a score early in the first quarter. Watson has logged at least 80 receiving yards in three of his last five contests and should be Green Bay's most productive receiver so long as he can remain on the field.
Malik Willis
Malik Willis Exits with shoulder injury
Sat, Dec 27, 2025, 9:44 PM
Willis exited Saturday night's game against the Ravens in the fourth quarter with an apparent right shoulder injury and is questionable to return.
Analysis: Willis injured his throwing shoulder on the follow-through in the fourth quarter and immediately sprinted to the locker room to undergo further examination. Prior to leaving the game, Willis was cooking for Green Bay, completing 18 of 21 passes for 288 yards and one touchdown. He also rushed nine times for 60 yards and two touchdowns. Clayton Tune is now in the game at quarterback for Green Bay. Tune immediately threw an interception on his first pass attempt.
