Josh Jacobs Josh Jacobs Practicing Thursday
Thu, Nov 20, 2025, 12:23 PM
Jacobs (knee) took part in individual drills at Thursday's practice, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Per Zach Kruse of USA Today, coach Matt LaFleur hinted earlier Thursday that Jacobs had a chance to practice, but his official activity level won't be known until the Packers post their second Week 12 injury report. Jacobs made an early exit from this past Sunday's win at the Giants with what eventually was termed a bruised knee, and while he won't require surgery, he is in danger of missing Sunday's game against the Vikings. Emanuel Wilson and, to a lesser extent, Chris Brooks are in line for increased workloads in the event that Jacobs is limited or sidelined this weekend. |

Josh Jacobs Josh Jacobs Could practice Thursday
Thu, Nov 20, 2025, 11:03 AM
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that Jacobs (knee) has a chance to participate in practice Thursday, Zach Kruse of USA Today reports.
Analysis: After not practicing Wednesday, Jacobs looks poised to take a step forward in terms of his activity Thursday, even if it doesn't translate to a change in how the team lists his level of participation. According to LaFleur, Jacobs will go through the team warmup as well as individual work Thursday, and depending on how his knee responds to those activities, the Packers will decide whether he'll mix into drills with his healthy teammates. If Jacobs ultimately gets the green light to take part in drills, it would be an encouraging sign for his odds of playing Sunday against the Vikings. |

Matthew Golden Matthew Golden Tending to pair of injuries
Wed, Nov 19, 2025, 3:57 PM
Golden was limited at Wednesday's practice due to shoulder and wrist injuries.
Analysis: Golden didn't play Week 10 against the Eagles due to a shoulder injury but was able to return to action for this past Sunday's win at the Giants. He logged a season-low 33 percent snap share Week 11 and managed to haul in just one of three targets for 24 yards. The Packers' receiving corps continues to deal with numerous injuries, with Christian Watson (knee), Romeo Doubs (wrist) and Dontayvion Wicks (calf) all limited to begin Week 12 prep, while Savion Williams (foot) was a DNP, so the overall situation is one to watch to get a sense of who among them will be available Sunday versus the Vikings. |

Savion Williams Savion Williams Unable to practice Wednesday
Wed, Nov 19, 2025, 3:53 PM
Williams (foot) did not practice Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Williams managed to play through his foot injury during Green Bay's win over the Giants in Week 11 and secure his only target for 33 yards, but it appears his availability is once again uncertain for Week 12. Meanwhile, fellow wideouts Romeo Doubs (wrist), Matthew Golden (wrist/shoulder), Christian Watson (knee) and Dontayvion Wicks (calf) were all limited in Wednesday's practice. Williams will have two more opportunities to upgrade his activity level at practice ahead of Sunday's home matchup against the Vikings. |

Romeo Doubs Romeo Doubs Dealing with wrist injury
Wed, Nov 19, 2025, 3:52 PM
Doubs was limited in practice Wednesday due to a wrist injury.
Analysis: All of Christian Watson (knee), Matthew Golden (shoulder/wrist) and Dontayvion Wicks (calf) were limited with their own health concerns Wednesday, while Savion Williams (foot) didn't practice at all to begin Week 12 prep. The situation at wide receiver in Green Bay thus bears monitoring as the week continues to get a sense of who among the quintet will be available Sunday against the Vikings. |

Dontayvion Wicks Dontayvion Wicks Limited in practice Wednesday
Wed, Nov 19, 2025, 3:50 PM
Wicks (calf) did not practice Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Wicks managed to play through his calf injury Week 11, when he secured one of two targets for nine yards during Green Bay's win over the Giants, but he's still managing the issue ahead of Sunday's divisional matchup against the Vikings. He will have two more chances to upgrade to full practice reps before the Packers are forced to decide whether to tag Wicks with an injury designation for Week 12. |

Jordan Love Jordan Love Listed as full participant
Wed, Nov 19, 2025, 3:46 PM
Love (left shoulder) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Love was briefly forced out of Green Bay's win over the Giants in Week 11 due to a shoulder issue, but it doesn't appear the starting quarterback is any danger of missing time. However, Love's top five wide receivers are all listed on Wednesday's injury report in some fashion, with Romeo Doubs (wrist), Matthew Golden (wrist/shoulder), Christian Watson (knee) and Dontayvion Wicks (calf) having been limited at practice, and Savion Williams (foot) designated as a non-participant. With a difficult home matchup against the Vikings' defense on deck Sunday, fantasy managers will want to closely monitor the health of Love's pass-catching corps. |

Christian Watson Christian Watson Limited practice Wednesday
Wed, Nov 19, 2025, 3:45 PM
Watson (knee) was limited at practice Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Watson has been listed with a knee issue in advance of each of his four appearances this season, likely a residual of his recovery from last season's torn ACL. He was joined as a limited participant Wednesday by fellow WRs Romeo Doubs (wrist), Matthew Golden (shoulder/wrist) and Dontayvion Wicks (calf), while Savion Williams (foot) was held out of drills entirely. On the season, Watson has put together a 12-234-2 line on 17 targets. |

Josh Jacobs Josh Jacobs Absent from practice Wednesday
Wed, Nov 19, 2025, 11:40 AM
Jacobs (knee) will not practice Wednesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Coach Matt LaFleur declined to rule Jacobs out for Sunday's game against the Vikings, calling his injury a "day-by-day thing," per Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site. The starting running back is nursing a knee contusion suffered during Green Bay's win over the Giants in Week 11. Emanuel Wilson will be in line to start Week 12 if Jacobs is unable to play, though given the blitz-heavy nature of Minnesota's defense, change-of-pace back Chris Brooks will also be a candidate to see an uptick in fantasy-friendly opportunities. |

Jayden Reed Jayden Reed Not ready to practice yet
Wed, Nov 19, 2025, 11:27 AM
Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Wednesday that Reed (collarbone/foot) has not yet been cleared to have his practice window opened, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: LaFleur declined to offer a specific timetable for Reed's return, but he noted that the wideout is "excited to get back out there." Reed has been spotted ramping up his rehab on the side field as of late, per Demovsky, but it appears he could still be multiple weeks away from a return to the starting lineup. The third-year pro is working his way back from two surgeries undergone after Green Bay's win over the Commanders in Week 2, one to address a broken collarbone he sustained during that contest, and the other to repair a Jones fracture in his foot suffered during the offseason. |

Josh Whyle Josh Whyle Finds end zone in win
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 5:54 PM
Whyle was targeted once and caught one pass for two yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-20 victory over the Giants.
Analysis: Whyle appeared in only his second game as a Packer, and he played roughly four times as many snaps as he did in his Week 10 debut and also found the end zone for the first time. Whyle had several semi-productive appearances with the Titans last season, and the Packers appear to be evaluating their options at the tight end position with Tucker Kraft (knee) out for the season, so Whyle is now at least back on the fringes of the fantasy radar. |

John FitzPatrick John FitzPatrick Leads tight ends in snaps
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 5:46 PM
FitzPatrick was targeted once and caught one pass for five yards in Sunday's 27-20 victory over the Giants.
Analysis: It may not be obvious in the box score, but FitzPatrick was credited with his first career start Sunday, and he wound up playing 16 more snaps than fellow tight end Luke Musgrave, who it was assumed would take over as Green Bay's top option at the position with Tucker Kraft (knee) out for the season. It remains to be seen how the playing time will be divided among the two -- as well as Josh Whyle, who scored in Week 11 -- moving forward, but none are particularly appealing fantasy options at this point. |

Dontayvion Wicks Dontayvion Wicks Limited to one reception
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 5:31 PM
Wicks was targeted twice and caught one pass for nine yards in Sunday's 27-20 victory over the Giants.
Analysis: Wicks finished third among Packers wideouts in snaps, but he saw only a quarter of the season-high eight targets he drew in Week 10. Wicks is getting some opportunities, but he has racked up only 18 receptions and 181 yards through eight appearances this season, and his playing time will likely take a hit when Jayden Reed (collarbone/foot) is ready to rejoin the fray. |

Savion Williams Savion Williams Makes key play in win
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 5:26 PM
Williams was targeted once and caught one pass for 33 yards in Sunday's 27-20 victory over the Giants. He also returned one kick for 33 yards in the game.
Analysis: Williams did not see a pass in his direction until the fourth quarter, but he made the most of his lone target, tallying the longest reception of his rookie season on a scoring drive that provided the Packers with the final margin of victory. Williams has been more involved in the box score than he was early in the campaign, but he logged only two snaps Sunday and six the week before, so his chances to produce remain limited. |

Josh Jacobs Josh Jacobs Diagnosed with knee contusion
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 3:18 PM
Coach Matt LaFleur said Monday that Jacobs suffered a knee contusion in Sunday's win over the Giants, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: LaFleur said injured reserve is not on the table, and Jacobs can potentially still play next Sunday against the Vikings. By all accounts, Jacobs has avoided a serious injury. If Jacobs does need to miss any time, Emanuel Wilson played 71 percent of the offensive snaps against New York and would be in line to handle RB1 duties for Green Bay. |

Luke Musgrave Luke Musgrave Trends downward in win
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 12:52 PM
Musgrave was targeted once and caught one pass for minus-1 yard in Sunday's 27-20 victory over the Giants.
Analysis: It was presumed that Musgrave would be the Packers tight end who benefitted most from the absence of Tucker Kraft (knee), and he did in Week 10, leading all players at his position in snaps and receiving yardage. However, things took a sharp turn Sunday, as he not only finished second in both departments but third behind both John FitzPatrick and Josh Whyle -- who both, unlike Musgrave, were credited with a Week 11 start. Roles are seemingly fluid in Green Bay's tight end room for the time being, but those counting on Musgrave in fantasy leagues should at the least be evaluating other options. |

Chris Brooks Chris Brooks Candidate for more work
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 12:43 PM
Brooks had one carry for eight yards in Sunday's 27-20 victory over the Giants.
Analysis: It was a typical appearance for Brooks, who got a few snaps -- five, even with starter Josh Jacobs (knee) leaving the game -- but hardly enough to make a fantasy impact. Jacobs is not believed to be facing an extended absence, but his status is uncertain for Green Bay's Week 12 matchup with the Vikings, and if he is unable to go Brooks could see a few more opportunities, particularly on passing downs. Fellow reserve Emanuel Wilson, though, would be the heavy favorite to be the lead back for the Packers if Jacobs misses one game or more. |

MarShawn Lloyd MarShawn Lloyd Ramping up rehab
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 11:52 AM
Lloyd (hamstring) is making good progress in his rehab, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: While he is still on injured reserve, Lloyd was seen off to the side at practice working up a sweat, signaling that his window of return may be close. The 24-year-old has still not been seen participating in official practices, but with Josh Jacobs suffering a knee injury this week, even more attention will be on Lloyd's recovery. |

Josh Jacobs Josh Jacobs No major injury, won't need surgery
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 11:24 AM
Jacobs (knee) has avoided a major injury and will not require surgery, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The Packers will reevaluate Jacobs toward the end of the week, and the running back has yet to be ruled out for next Sunday's game against the Vikings. It's a best-case scenario for Jacobs, who was forced to leave Sunday's win over the Giants in the first half. In Jacobs' absence, Emanuel Wilson played a season-high 71 percent of the offensive snaps and rushed 11 times for 40 yards and one touchdown, adding one catch for nine yards on one target in the passing game. Chris Brooks played just five offensive snaps and handled one carry for eight yards. If Jacobs would need to miss time, Wilson would become an immediate plug-and-play fantasy starter. |

Josh Jacobs Josh Jacobs Appears to avoid major injury
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 8:26 AM
The Packers believe Jacobs (knee) is not facing a major injury, though he will undergo further medical evaluation Monday to determine the severity of the issue, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Jacobs doesn't appear set to spend a significant amount of time on the sidelines, but full clarity on his health won't arrive until after Monday's testing. If his injury proves to be more serious than anticipated, Emanuel Wilson would stand to inherit the lead role in Green Bay's rushing attack, with Chris Brooks likely stepping into an expanded change-of-pace gig. Wilson rushed 11 times for 40 yards and a score during the team's win over the Giants in Week 11, while also securing his only target for nine yards and reeling in a two-point conversion pass. Wilson will likely be a high priority waiver pickup this week as the Packers prepare to host the division-rival Vikings on Sunday. |
