Savion Williams Savion Williams Doesn't practice Tuesday
Tue, Nov 25, 2025, 6:22 PM
Williams (foot) did not participate in Tuesday's walkthrough practice.
Analysis: Williams has opened the week with back-to-back DNPs due to a lingering foot injury, though Monday's session was an estimate, as the Packers didn't hold a practice. The rookie third-rounder has been managing a foot injury since early November, and with the Packers playing Thanksgiving Day against the Lions, he would likely have to practice Wednesday in at least a limited capacity to have a realistic shot at playing Thursday. If Williams is not cleared to play, then Malik Heath and Bo Melton would be candidates for more snaps at wide receiver, and Melton would also be in line for return duties on kickoffs. |

Dontayvion Wicks Dontayvion Wicks Reps capped in walkthrough
Tue, Nov 25, 2025, 5:20 PM
Wicks (calf) was a limited participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice.
Analysis: Wicks was one of four Packers listed as limited Tuesday in what's expected to be the team's most extensive workout of the week prior to Thursday's game against the Lions. Along with Wicks, Jayden Reed (shoulder/foot) -- who remains on injured reserve -- Savion Williams (foot) and Matthew Golden (wrist) had their reps capped Tuesday. Green Bay's final practice report will be issued Wednesday and will reveal whether Wicks or any of the other three wideouts nursing injuries will carry designations into the Thanksgiving Day game. |

Jayden Reed Jayden Reed Still limited in practice
Tue, Nov 25, 2025, 5:16 PM
Reed (foot/shoulder) was a limited participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice.
Analysis: Since having his 21-day practice window opened Friday, Reed has been listed as limited for each of Green Bay's ensuing three sessions. Since the Packers aren't holding any traditional practice sessions this week with the team traveling to Detroit for a Thanksgiving Day game, Reed may face an uphill battle to prove that he's fully moved past the surgeries he underwent earlier this season to address a Jones fracture as well as a broken clavicle. The third-year wideout played just two games before being placed on injured reserve Sept. 20. |

Matthew Golden Matthew Golden Limited in walk-through session
Tue, Nov 25, 2025, 5:11 PM
Golden (wrist) was a limited participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice.
Analysis: After sitting out the Packers' Week 12 win over the Vikings with the wrist issue, Golden has been estimated as a limited participant on the team's first two Week 13 practice reports. Green Bay faces a quick turnaround this week with a Thursday game against the Lions, which may work against Golden in his efforts to return to action. |

Josh Jacobs Josh Jacobs Stays limited Tuesday
Tue, Nov 25, 2025, 5:00 PM
Jacobs (knee) was a limited participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice.
Analysis: Jacobs has now been listed as limited on four straight injury reports while he manages a bone bruise in his knee as well as a thigh contusion. After sitting out this past Sunday's 23-6 win over the Vikings, Jacobs likely has better odds of suiting up for a Thanksgiving Day matchup with the Lions, but he won't be helped by the shorter turnaround for the Week 13 contest. The Packers will reveal whether Jacobs carries an injury designation into Thursday's game when they release their final injury report of the week Wednesday. |

John FitzPatrick John FitzPatrick Makes another start
Mon, Nov 24, 2025, 5:22 PM
FitzPatrick was targeted once and caught one pass for 11 yards in Sunday's 23-6 victory over the Vikings.
Analysis: FitzPatrick was credited with a start for the second time in as many weeks, and he led Packers tight ends in snaps just like he did in Week 11. FitzPatrick is spending far more time on the field than he did before fellow tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) went down, but with two catches for 16 yards over the last two contests it has not been indicated in the box score. |
|
Luke Musgrave Luke Musgrave Remains in limited role
Mon, Nov 24, 2025, 5:13 PM
Musgrave was targeted twice and caught one pass for seven yards in Sunday's 23-6 victory over the Vikings.
Analysis: The Packers used their tight ends in almost the exact same fashion as they did in Week 11, with John FitzPatrick playing the most snaps and Josh Whyle and Musgrave sharing the work behind him. As also was the case in Week 11, none of them -- including Musgrave -- made a noticeable fantasy impact. |

Chris Brooks Chris Brooks Racks up nine touches
Mon, Nov 24, 2025, 4:56 PM
Brooks had eight carries for 21 yards and one reception for five yards in Sunday's 23-6 victory over the Vikings.
Analysis: The nine touches were the most Brooks has recorded in a game since joining the Packers in 2024, but they came in a contest in which starter Josh Jacobs (knee) sat out and fellow reserve Emanuel Wilson got the ball a whopping 30 times. Brooks could again be busier than usual if Jacobs is unable to play Thursday against the Lions, but in such a scenario he would still be the No. 2 option behind Wilson. |

Savion Williams Savion Williams Estimated as non-participant
Mon, Nov 24, 2025, 4:10 PM
Williams (foot) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Green Bay didn't hold an actual practice Monday, but the rookie third-round pick would not have been able to log on-field reps to begin Week 13 prep. Williams has regularly missed practices while playing through a foot injury the last two games, so as long as he's able to log at least one limited session in advance of Thursday's divisional matchup against the Lions, he'll have a chance to take the field. If cleared to suit up Thanksgiving Day, Williams will handle a depth role on offense and contribute as a kick returner. |

Dontayvion Wicks Dontayvion Wicks Still managing calf injury
Mon, Nov 24, 2025, 3:44 PM
Wicks (calf) is listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Wicks has managed to play through his calf injury in each of Green Bay's last three games, but he now faces a short week of prep ahead of Thursday's divisional contest against the Lions. Matthew Golden (wrist) and Jayden Reed (foot/shoulder) are both also listed as limited Monday and could be candidates to retake the field on Thanksgiving Day, though the latter playmaker officially remains on IR. If Golden and/or Reed remain sidelined, though, Wicks will get a chance to handle expanded target volume versus the Lions, provided he's able to suit up. |

Jayden Reed Jayden Reed Listed as limited again
Mon, Nov 24, 2025, 3:39 PM
Reed (foot/shoulder) is listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated injury report, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Reed was limited in his return to practice last Friday, so while Green Bay isn't actually hosting an on-field session Monday, it's no surprise that the third-year pro isn't yet ready to handle reps without restrictions. It's possible Reed will need to log at least one full practice Tuesday and/or Wednesday in order to have a chance at coming off IR in time to suit up versus Detroit on Thanksgiving Day. In the event that Thursday's turnaround is too short a window for Reed, he should have a solid chance to return Week 14 against the Bears on Sunday, Dec. 7. |

Matthew Golden Matthew Golden Listed as limited participant
Mon, Nov 24, 2025, 3:34 PM
Golden (wrist) is listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated injury report, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Golden sat out Week 12 versus the Vikings while managing a pair of injuries, but the rookie first-round pick now at least appears to have put his shoulder issue behind him. He'll have two more opportunities to upgrade his activity level as Green Bay prepares to travel to Detroit for a key divisional showdown on Thanksgiving Day. Across nine regular-season appearances to date, Golden has only exceeded 50 receiving yards on three occasions, and he's still looking to score his first touchdown. |
|
Josh Jacobs Josh Jacobs Estimated as limited participant
Mon, Nov 24, 2025, 3:28 PM
Jacobs (knee) is listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Jacobs managed to close Week 12 prep out with back-to-back limited practices but nonetheless was made inactive for Green Bay's win over the Vikings on Sunday, paving the way for Emanuel Wilson to impress with 107 rushing yards and two scores. Now, Jacobs will have two more chances to upgrade his activity level ahead of Thursday's road divisional matchup against the Lions. In the event that Jacobs is unavailable to play Thanksgiving Day, Wilson will stand to lead Green Bay's backfield again. |

Romeo Doubs Romeo Doubs Limited to two catches in win
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 5:53 PM
Doubs secured two of three targets for 23 yards and returned two punts for 21 yards in the Packers' 23-6 win over the Vikings on Sunday.
Analysis: Doubs' numbers certainly were disappointing from a fantasy perspective, but they were generated within the confines of a modest 14-completion, 139-yard passing day for Jordan Love. The veteran wideout has just 81 combined receiving yards over his last three contests overall, but a Thanksgiving Day showdown with the Lions at Ford Field figures to be a game in which the entire Packers' air attack sees increased usage. |
|
Christian Watson Christian Watson Paces pass catchers in win
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 4:55 PM
Watson brought in five of seven targets for 49 yards in the Packers' 23-6 win over the Vikings on Sunday.
Analysis: Watson set the pace across the board for the Packers' air attack in receptions, receiving yards and targets on a day when Jordan Love completed only 14 passes for 139 yards. Watson arguably boasts the most stable floor of any Green Bay receiver in his team's frequently low-volume passing game for the moment, as he's now recorded 45 receiving yards or more in all five games while logging at least four targets in each contest as well. Watson could be in for his busiest day yet when the Packers visit the Lions for a Thanksgiving Day showdown Thursday. |

Jordan Love Jordan Love Game-manager role in win
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 3:24 PM
Love completed 14 of 21 passes for 139 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions and rushed three times for 15 yards in the Packers' 23-6 win over the Vikings on Sunday.
Analysis: Love's final line underscores how little the Packers were threatened by the Vikings' J.J. McCarthy-led offense in the divisional clash. Love, who Ryan Wood of USA Today reports conceded to having taken "a couple hits" to his shoulder without serious impact, attempted well under 25 passes for the third straight game and eighth time this season overall. The veteran signal-caller also failed to throw a touchdown pass for the third time in four contests, but he figures to have to be much more aggressive in a Thanksgiving Day road showdown against the Lions on Thursday. |

Emanuel Wilson Emanuel Wilson Successful with big workload in win
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 3:04 PM
Wilson rushed 28 times for 107 yards and two touchdowns while bringing in both targets for 18 yards in the Packers' 23-6 win over the Vikings on Sunday.
Analysis: Wilson drew the start in place of Josh Jacobs (knee) and handled a workload befitting his sidelined teammate, as the former logged a career-high carry total. Wilson clawed his way to his first career 100-yard game in the process, and he got into the end zone on a pair of one-yard scoring runs in the first and third quarter. Jacobs is likely to be available for a critical road matchup against the Lions on Thanksgiving, but if the latter is held out, the Packers will certainly have confidence in Wilson's ability to handle a lead-back role for a second straight game. |

Emanuel Wilson Emanuel Wilson Slated for leading role with Jacobs out
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 10:45 AM
Wilson is slated to lead the Packers backfield Sunday versus the Vikings with Josh Jacobs (knee) inactive, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: The decision on Jacobs came down to a pregame warmup, which he didn't pass. Wilson thus will be the top running back for Green Bay in Week 12. In the three contests in which he earned double-digit touches this season, he averaged 12.3 touches for 72.3 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring one rushing TD. Chris Brooks and practice-squad elevation Pierre Strong are on hand for the snaps that don't go to Wilson. |

Savion Williams Savion Williams Suiting up Sunday
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 10:43 AM
Williams (foot) is listed as active Sunday against the Vikings, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Williams was able to play through a foot injury the last two games, and even after sandwiching DNPs around a limited practice Thursday this week, such activity was enough for him to be available to the banged-up Packers receiving corps Week 12. With Matthew Golden (shoulder/wrist, inactive) sitting out Sunday, Christian Watson (knee), Romeo Doubs (wrist), Dontayvion Wicks (calf) and Williams are the top active WRs for QB Jordan Love. Williams has at least one catch in each of the last four games on his way to a cumulative 6-55-1 line on six targets during that span. |

Dontayvion Wicks Dontayvion Wicks Active in Week 12
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 10:41 AM
Wicks (calf) is active for Sunday's game versus the Vikings, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Fellow WRs Christian Watson (knee), Romeo Doubs (wrist) and Bo Melton (shoulder) were cleared Friday, and now Wicks and Savion Williams (foot) also are confirmed to be available Week 12. Meanwhile, Matthew Golden (shoulder/wrist) won't suit up. Wicks thus will be on hand for targets from QB Jordan Love alongside Watson, Doubs and even Williams, but the third-year pro hasn't scored a touchdown or surpassed 50 receiving yards in any of his eight appearances this season. |
