MarShawn Lloyd MarShawn Lloyd Remains limited at practice
Thu, Dec 4, 2025, 4:47 PM
Lloyd (calf) was limited in practice Thursday.
Analysis: The Packers opened Lloyd's practice window to return from injured reserve Monday, and he so far has logged back-to-back capped practices as he attempts to put a calf injury behind him. The 2024 third-round pick has made just one appearance (Week 2 of last season) in his pro career due to a series of health concerns that kept him sidelined, but he now appears to be ramping up toward his first game action of the current campaign. Friday's injury report will unveil whether Lloyd has a chance to play Sunday versus the Bears, but even if he receives a designation, Green Bay will need to activate him from IR by Saturday afternoon. |

Savion Williams Savion Williams Still not practicing
Thu, Dec 4, 2025, 4:41 PM
Williams (foot) didn't practice Thursday.
Analysis: Williams initially was listed with a foot injury in advance of a Week 10 matchup with the Eagles, and while he played through it for three games, he hasn't taken part in any drills since Nov. 21. He thus appears in danger of missing a second contest in a row Sunday against the Bears, something that the Packers may confirm when they post their final Week 14 practice report Friday. |

Dontayvion Wicks Dontayvion Wicks Another limited showing
Thu, Dec 4, 2025, 4:30 PM
Wicks (ankle) practiced on a limited basis Thursday.
Analysis: Wicks previously was dealing with a calf issue that sidelined him in Weeks 8 and 9, but he's played through the injury in each of the last four games, compiling a 13-173-2 line on 21 targets during that span. An ankle concern has capped his practice reps so far this week, but he at least will have one more chance to get back to full Friday before the Packers potentially tag him with a designation for Sunday's contest against the Bears. |

Jayden Reed Jayden Reed Stays limited at practice
Thu, Dec 4, 2025, 4:20 PM
Reed (foot/shoulder) was limited at Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Reed is nearly two weeks into his 21-day practice window in which to be activated from injured reserve, but he's yet to log a full practice, which may be the final step he needs to take in order for the Packers to not only give him a game-day designation but also activate him. Friday's injury report will reveal if he has a chance for his first game action since Week 2, when he suffered a a broken collarbone that required surgeries for that and the Jones fracture that bothered him throughout training camp and the preseason. |

Matthew Golden Matthew Golden Limited again Thursday
Thu, Dec 4, 2025, 4:16 PM
Golden (wrist) was a limited practice participant Thursday.
Analysis: Golden is one of three Packers wide receivers that have been limited so far this week, with Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) and Jayden Reed (foot/shoulder) being the others, while Savion Williams (foot) has been a non-participant. Golden has missed three of the last four games due to shoulder and wrist injuries, but Friday's practice report may provide insight into his odds to return to action Sunday against the Bears. |

Josh Jacobs Josh Jacobs Remains limited Thursday
Thu, Dec 4, 2025, 3:18 PM
Jacobs (knee) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.
Analysis: Jacobs continues to deal with a lingering bone bruise in his knee that sidelined him Week 12 against the Vikings, but he returned last Thursday at Detroit and reeled off 91 yards from scrimmage on 18 touches. Friday's injury report will reveal if he enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's showdown with the Bears or cleared for action entirely. |

MarShawn Lloyd MarShawn Lloyd Limited in return to practice
Wed, Dec 3, 2025, 5:09 PM
Lloyd (calf) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
Analysis: This marks Lloyd's first official practice of the 2025 regular season, as he's been on injured reserve since cut-down day in late August with what before Wednesday was deemed a hamstring issue. A calf injury was listed as the reason for his restrictions to begin Week 14 prep, and he'll now have two more sessions to prove his health before the Packers potentially give him a chance to make his season debut Sunday against the Bears. |
|
Jayden Reed Jayden Reed Limited again Wednesday
Wed, Dec 3, 2025, 4:43 PM
Reed (foot/shoulder) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
Analysis: Since the Packers opened his 21-day practice window Nov. 21, Reed has been listed as limited on five consecutive injury reports, but the long-awaited full practice hasn't come to pass because, as coach Matt LaFleur told Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com on Monday, the third-year pro hasn't received medical clearance to be able to play. Reed will attempt to do so Thursday and/or Friday, while fellow WRs Matthew Golden (wrist, LP), Dontayvion Wicks (ankle, LP) and Savion Williams (foot, DNP) also showed up on Green Bay's initial practice report of Week 14 prep. |

Dontayvion Wicks Dontayvion Wicks Dealing with ankle injury
Wed, Dec 3, 2025, 4:37 PM
Wicks (ankle) practiced on a limited basis Wednesday.
Analysis: Since suffering a calf injury Week 7 at Arizona, Wicks sat out Weeks 8 and 9 and otherwise was listed on Packers practice reports with that health concern. This week, calf has been swapped for ankle, leaving his status up in the air ahead of Sunday's game versus the Bears. Fellow WRs Matthew Golden (wrist) and Jayden Reed (foot/shoulder, IR) also were limited Wednesday, while Savion Williams (foot) didn't practice, which means Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, Malik Heath and Bo Melton are the healthy options at the position on the active roster at the moment. |
|
Matthew Golden Matthew Golden Stays limited Wednesday
Wed, Dec 3, 2025, 4:31 PM
Golden (wrist) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday.
Analysis: Golden has missed back-to-back games and three of the last four due to shoulder and wrist injuries. He's been listed with only the latter concern the last two weeks, but he has yet to be anything more than a limited participant during that time. He likely will need to get back to full in order to avoid a designation ahead of Sunday's contest against the Bears. |
|
Josh Jacobs Josh Jacobs Limited Wednesday
Wed, Dec 3, 2025, 3:39 PM
Jacobs (knee) was limited at Wednesday's practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Jacobs missed the Packers' Week 12 win against the Vikings due to a bone bruise in his knee and a thigh contusion, but he was able to return to action for last Thursday's victory at Detroit and paced the backfield in the process, taking 17 carries for 83 yards and catching his only target for eight yards. The aforementioned knee issue continues to linger, but there's been no indication that he's in any danger of being absent Sunday versus the Bears. |

MarShawn Lloyd MarShawn Lloyd Has practice window opened
Mon, Dec 1, 2025, 4:55 PM
The Packers opened Lloyd's (hamstring) 21-day window in which to return from injured reserve Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Lloyd came out of preseason Week 2 in mid-August with hamstring tightness, and when the Packers placed him on IR on cut-down day, they designated him for return at that point, meaning his season debut wouldn't take place until at least Week 6 of the regular season. More than three months later, he's made notable enough progress in his recovery effort, which included a visit to the West Coast about one month ago, to get back on the practice field in an official capacity. The Packers will post their first Week 14 injury report Wednesday, at which point his activity level will become known. Lloyd's first potential chance to rejoin the team's backfield mix is this coming Sunday against the Bears, but he may require a ramp-up period for Green Bay to officially clear him for game action. |

Jayden Reed Jayden Reed Still awaiting medical clearance
Mon, Dec 1, 2025, 2:41 PM
Coach Matt LaFleur said Monday that Reed (foot) has yet to be medically cleared to return to game action, but the plan is to see where he's at by the end of the week, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Reed hasn't played since Week 2 due to foot and collarbone injuries, but his 21-day practice window was opened 10 days ago. He should be considered genuinely questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears. If Reed remains sidelined, the Packers will likely continue to lean on Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks as their main three-wide set. |

John FitzPatrick John FitzPatrick Sees one target in Week 13 win
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 8:56 PM
FitzPatrick didn't catch his only target in a 31-24 win over Detroit on Thursday.
Analysis: FitzPatrick again took the field with Green Bay's starters, but he got exactly one target for the third straight week. After surpassing a 60 percent offensive snap share each of the previous two weeks, he logged just a 24 percent share Thursday, while Luke Musgrave (59 percent) and Josh Whyle (51 percent) worked well ahead of him in the tight-end pecking order. That could be an indication that Whyle is going to eat more into FitzPatrick's opportunities moving forward. |

Malik Heath Malik Heath No catches in Week 13 victory
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 8:49 PM
Heath didn't catch his only target in Thursday's 31-24 win over the Lions.
Analysis: Jordan Love tossed 30 passes for the first time in three weeks, but only one of them went to Heath, who now has gone without a reception in each of his past three games. Heath logged as many offensive snaps (11) as receiver-turned-cornerback Bo Melton, while Romeo Doubs (53), Christian Watson (46) and Dontayvion Wicks (31) featured as Green Bay's top three wideouts. Heath's role could shrink further when Matthew Golden (wrist) or Savion Williams (foot) return to action. |

Chris Brooks Chris Brooks Logs two catches on Thanksgiving
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 8:39 PM
Brooks didn't get any carries but caught both of his targets for nine yards in Thursday's 31-24 win over Detroit.
Analysis: On a day when six different Packers -- including three WRs -- got at least one carry, Brooks was invisible in the running game. However, he did notch a pair of catches to ensure his name appeared in the box score. Brooks has 11 rushes and 10 catches on the campaign as Green Bay's No. 3 RB, so it's not out of the norm for him to be featured more as a pass catcher than as a ball carrier during his limited offensive snaps. |

Dontayvion Wicks Dontayvion Wicks Scores twice in Thanksgiving win
Thu, Nov 27, 2025, 4:09 PM
Wicks caught six of seven targets for 94 yards and two touchdowns in Thursday's 31-24 win over the Lions. He also rushed once for six yards.
Analysis: Wicks recorded a 22-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter and scored a one-yard touchdown in the third quarter. He also maintained his concentration despite losing his shoe to secure a game-sealing 16-yard catch in the fourth quarter, which converted on fourth down for the Packers and allowed them to run out the clock with a pair of kneel downs on the following two plays. That final reception also helped Wicks edge out Christian Watson (80 yards) for the team lead in receiving yards, though Watson led the Packers with 10 targets Thursday. Wicks hadn't scored a regular-season touchdown since Week 16 of the 2024 season, so it remains to be seen if he can build on this Thanksgiving Day breakout when the Packers host the Bears in Week 14. |

Christian Watson Christian Watson Posts 51-yard TD among 10 targets
Thu, Nov 27, 2025, 4:07 PM
Watson caught four of 10 targets for 80 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 31-24 win over the Lions. He also rushed once for three yards.
Analysis: Watson may have gotten away with a pushoff on his 51-yard touchdown catch in the third quarter but the play stood as his third touchdown catch in the past three games and accounted for the majority of his production Thursday. His season debut didn't come until Week 8, but Watson has recorded at least 45 receiving yards in all six of his appearances, establishing himself as the top receiving option in a Green Bay offense that's normally run-heavy, Thursday's four-touchdown performance from Jordan Love notwithstanding. Watson's fantasy stock continues to rise heading into another NFC North matchup in Week 14 against the Bears. |

Josh Jacobs Josh Jacobs Racks up 18 touches in return
Thu, Nov 27, 2025, 4:05 PM
Jacobs rushed 17 times for 83 yards and caught his only target for eight yards in Thursday's 31-24 win over the Lions.
Analysis: Jacobs reclaimed the lead role in the backfield in his return from a one-game absence due to a knee injury. Emanuel Wilson had four carries and Chris Brooks drew two targets, as Green Bay's backup running backs saw sparse usage. Jacobs has failed to score a touchdown in each of his last two appearances after being kept out of the end zone only once in the preceding 17 regular-season games. He'll look to end this brief scoring drought in Week 14 against the Bears. |

Jordan Love Jordan Love Four TDs in Thanksgiving Day win
Thu, Nov 27, 2025, 4:03 PM
Love completed 18 of 30 passes for 234 yards and four touchdowns in Thursday's 31-24 win over the Lions. He added five rushing attempts for four yards.
Analysis: Love tossed second-quarter touchdown passes of 22 yards to Dontayvion Wicks and two yards to Romeo Doubs, then added third-quarter touchdown passes of 51 yards to Christian Watson and one yard to Wicks. Each of those four touchdown passes gave the Packers leads of exactly 10 points. Love had only two touchdown passes in his previous four games combined, so Thursday's bounce-back performance was a welcome sight for Love's fantasy managers, as he tied his single-game career high with four touchdown passes. He bolstered his 2025 TD:INT to 19:3 ahead of a pivotal Week 14 home game against the Bears. |
