Logs full practice Wednesday
Wed, Sep 2, 2026, 6:33 PM
Bullard (foot) was a full participant at practice Wednesday, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Bullard missed some time in August after sustaining a bone bruise during a training camp practice, but it looks like he has fully recovered at this point. He figures to play a major role in Green Bay's secondary in 2026. |

Dealing with multiple injuries
Tue, Sep 1, 2026, 6:27 PM
Oliver is dealing with Achilles and calf injuries. and is considered week-to-week, Weston Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Oliver must miss at least the first four games of the regular season on injured reserve before he is eligible to return to the Packers' active roster. This minimum timeframe appears to align well with the linebacker's injury, and the 2025 fifth-rounder should return from IR and suit up shortly after the four-game period ends. |

Savion Williams Savion Williams On mend from high-ankle sprain
Tue, Sep 1, 2026, 10:51 AM
Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said Tuesday that Williams is recovering from a high-ankle sprain and should be ready to return from injured reserve when first eligible Week 5, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Williams wasn't known to have sustained an injury during training camp or the preseason before he landed on injured reserve Sunday, but Gutekunst's comments provided some clarity on the matter. Assuming that the second-year wideout bounces back from the high-ankle sprain as anticipated, he should be ready to make his 2026 debut Oct. 11 versus the Bears. With Christian Watson, Jayden Reed and Matthew Golden locked in as Green Bay's top three receivers, Williams is unlikely to run many routes when all of those players are fully healthy, but he could have a small role on offense as a gadget player in addition to serving as the team's top kickoff returner. |

Luke Musgrave Luke Musgrave Expected to play in 2026
Tue, Sep 1, 2026, 10:24 AM
Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said Tuesday that he's "really hopeful" Musgrave (neck) will be able to play at some point during the 2026 season, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Green Bay placed Musgrave on the PUP list Sunday, ensuring that he'll miss at least the first four contests of the campaign. Musgrave is far from a lock to be activated when first eligible to play Week 5, as he was unable to practice at any point in training camp or the preseason after injuring his neck during June minicamp. Perhaps in part due to Musgrave's hazy return timeline in addition to the thin depth behind top tight end Tucker Kraft (knee), the Packers signed veteran Jonnu Smith to a one-year deal last week to bolster the position group. |

Could return from PUP list when eligible
Tue, Sep 1, 2026, 9:45 AM
Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said Tuesday that Parsons (knee) could return from the PUP list when first eligible in Week 5, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports. "We have a pretty good idea once we get out of that four-game window we're going to be pretty close," Gutekunst said.
Analysis: Though he'll miss time to begin the season, Parsons is progressing as expected in his recovery from a torn ACL in his left knee, which he sustained Dec. 14. Parsons had previously told Wood that the Packers' Week 6 game against the Cowboys was a "very realistic" target for his return to the field, and Gutekunst's comments suggest that the door is open for the star edge rusher to play as soon as Week 5 against the Bears. According to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic, Gutekunst added that Parsons could be a candidate to resume practicing as soon as Week 2, when the Packers would first be able to open up his 21-day evaluation window. |

Josh Jacobs Josh Jacobs GM expects him to play in 2026
Tue, Sep 1, 2026, 9:35 AM
General manager Brian Gutekunst said Tuesday that he anticipates Jacobs (personal) playing for the Packers at some point in 2026, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Jacobs was placed on the Commissioner's Exempt List on Sunday, three days after he was formally charged with two misdemeanors stemming from his May arrest for a domestic incident. The 28-year-old running back is scheduled to make his first appearance in court Nov. 17 and won't be eligible to practice or play while he remains on the exempt list, though head coach Matt LaFleur said Tuesday that Jacobs will be present at the team facility, per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com. While Jacobs is out, the Packers will have MarShawn Lloyd, Chris Brooks and Kaleb Johnson as their available backfield options, with Lloyd being the favorite to lead the trio in touches. |

Dean (undisclosed) reverted to the Packers' injured reserve list Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Analysis: The Packers waived Dean on Sunday with an injury designation. The safety went unclaimed and will now spend the entirety of the 2026 regular season on IR unless he is waived with an injury settlement. |

Back from calf injury
Mon, Aug 31, 2026, 7:24 PM
The Packers activated Orzech (calf) from the active/PUP list Sunday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Orzech missed all of training camp due to a calf injury, but he passed his physical Sunday and will be eligible to practice this week. He will serve as the Packers' long snapper after Cal Adomitis was released. |

Moved to reserve/PUP list
Mon, Aug 31, 2026, 6:19 PM
The Packers moved Riley (Achilles) from the active/PUP list to the reserve/PUP list on Sunday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Riley suffered a torn Achilles tendon in Week 17 of the 2025 regular season. The defensive tackle will continue to work his way back from the issue through the beginning of the 2026 regular season. Even if Riley quickly regains his health, the 28-year-old must miss the first four weeks of the season on the reserve/PUP list before becoming eligible to return to the active roster. |

Thomas Yassmin Thomas Yassmin Reverts to IR
Mon, Aug 31, 2026, 6:12 PM
Green Bay reverted Yassmin (undisclosed) to injured reserve Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Analysis: Yassmin was waived/injured Sunday and went unclaimed on waivers. The Australian tight end has yet to play in an NFL game and will miss the entire 2026 season while on IR unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Packers. |

Sidelined to open regular season
Mon, Aug 31, 2026, 11:57 AM
Oliver (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve by the Packers on Sunday with a designation to return, Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official website reports.
Analysis: Oliver recorded five total tackles during the preseason, but he appears to have picked up an undisclosed injury along the way. The 23-year-old will now be forced to miss at least four contests to open the regular season while on IR. With Micah Parsons (knee) also sidelined to open the year, second-year pro Barryn Sorrell will have a chance to handle the lion's share of the snaps at strong-side linebacker. |

Luke Musgrave Luke Musgrave Moved to reserve/PUP list
Sun, Aug 30, 2026, 8:59 PM
Musgrave (neck) was moved to the reserve/PUP list Sunday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official website reports.
Analysis: Musgrave missed the entirety of the preseason while on the active/PUP list with a neck injury that he suffered during OTAs in June. The oft-injured tight end will now be forced to miss at least four contests to open the regular season. In his absence, new-acquired veteran Jonnu Smith will likely operate as the primary backup behind starting tight end Tucker Kraft (knee). |

Savion Williams Savion Williams Hits IR, but designated to return
Sun, Aug 30, 2026, 5:43 PM
The Packers placed Williams (undisclosed) on injured reserve Sunday with a designation to return, Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Williams wasn't necessarily hampered by a health concern during training camp and the preseason, but an unknown injury will conspire to sideline him for at least the first four games of the campaign. Behind Green Bay's big three WRs Christian Watson, Jayden Reed and Matthew Golden, the initial position group on the active roster also includes Skyy Moore, Bo Melton and undrafted rookie J. Michael Sturdivant. Williams' earliest possible time to make his season debut is Sunday, Oct. 11 versus the Bears. |

Mark Redman Mark Redman Traded to Green Bay
Sun, Aug 30, 2026, 3:41 PM
The Rams are trading Redman to the Packers for a 2028 seventh-round pick.
Analysis: Redman spent last season on the Rams' practice squad but didn't appear in any games. The 2025 undrafted free agent will provide extra depth at tight end for the Packers, as both Tucker Kraft (knee) and Luke Musgrave (neck) are dealing with injuries. |

Officially on reserve/PUP list
Sun, Aug 30, 2026, 3:22 PM
The Packers moved Parsons (knee) from the active/PUP list to the reserve/PUP list Sunday, meaning he'll miss the first four games of the season, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Parsons was lost for the 2025 season Week 15 when he sustained a torn ACL in his left knee, but not before fulfilling expectations following his blockbuster arrival from Dallas prior to Week 1. Overall, he recorded 12.5 sacks in 14 regular-season contests, marking his fifth straight campaign to begin his career with at least 12.0 sacks. Based on comments made by Parsons to Ryan Wood of USA Today on Aug. 4, the pass rusher is aiming to return Week 6, but with Sunday's transaction, his first possible return date is a Week 5 matchup with the Bears. |

MarShawn Lloyd MarShawn Lloyd Now part of reconfigured backfield
Sun, Aug 30, 2026, 2:36 PM
With both Josh Jacobs (groin) landing on the Commissioner's Exempt List and Kaleb Johnson being acquired by the Packers on Sunday, Lloyd now finds himself in a reconfigured Packers backfield.
Analysis: Lloyd has appeared in just one regular-season game since being selected by the Packers in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft, but with Jacobs out of action for the time being Lloyd is now the top available option on the depth chart. Both Johnson and Chris Brooks -- who excels at pass blocking -- figure to factor into the mix sans Jacobs, but with Johnson just joining the team, Lloyd now finds himself as the favorite to pick up carries. |

Josh Jacobs Josh Jacobs Lands on Commissioner's Exempt List
Sun, Aug 30, 2026, 1:38 PM
The NFL placed Jacobs on the Commissioner's Exempt List on Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Jacobs was officially charged Thursday with two misdemeanors stemming from his May arrest for a domestic incident in Brown County, Wis, with a court appearance scheduled for Nov. 17. For as long as he's on the list, he won't be able to practice or play in games, and there's no word on how long this may be his reality. Aside from Jacobs, the Packers backfield is occupied by MarShawn Lloyd, Chris Brooks and newcomer Kaleb Johnson, with Lloyd the likely favorite to handle the largest workload during Jacobs' absence. |

J. Michael Sturdivant J. Michael Sturdivant Sticking around in Green Bay
Sun, Aug 30, 2026, 1:25 PM
Sturdivant has made Green Bay's initial 53-man roster, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The undrafted free agent out of Florida impressed the coaching staff with 112 receiving yards and a touchdown in the Packers' preseason finale. Sturdivant is likely to be limited to a depth role out of the gate, as Christian Watson, Jayden Reed and Matthew Golden seem secure in the top three spots on the wide receiver depth chart. |

Kaleb Johnson Kaleb Johnson Gets traded to Green Bay
Sun, Aug 30, 2026, 12:45 PM
The Steelers are expected to trade Johnson to the Packers, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Johnson thus will get a fresh start in Green Bay after the third-round investment made in him last year didn't pan out in Pittsburgh. Working behind Jaylen Warren and Kenny Gainwell in 2025, Johnson turned 28 carries into just 69 yards (2.5 YPC) and no touchdowns while hauling in one of two targets for nine yards in 10 regular-season appearances as a rookie. Johnson will join a Green Bay backfield led by Josh Jacobs (groin) and backed up by MarShawn Lloyd and Chris Brooks. |

Bo Melton Bo Melton Quiet in preseason finale
Fri, Aug 28, 2026, 11:18 PM
Melton did not catch either of his targets in Friday's preseason win over Arizona.
Analysis: The Packers held most of their key players out of the contest, so Melton's inclusion in the game could indicate that he's not an absolute lock to make the 53-man roster. If that's the case, it may not help that undrafted rookie J. Michael Sturdivant broke out a 6-112-1 receiving line Friday, though it's generally unwise to read too deeply into preseason performances. Still, Melton had a pretty poor exhibition slate, catching just two of seven targets for 14 yards. Melton worked often as a kick returner last season, but free-agent signee Skyy Moore appears set to take over that role in 2026. The odds still seem to be in favor of Melton surviving cutdown day, and if he does, he'll likely work mostly on special teams during the regular season. |
