Limited at practice Wednesday
Wed, Sep 16, 2026, 6:49 PM
Hargrave (knee/concussion) was limited during Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Hargrave had one total tackle in Sunday's 39-22 loss to the Vikings. He's currently dealing with multiple injuries. If Hargrave isn't on the field in Week 2 versus the Jets, Jonathan Ford could see more snaps. |

Limited at practice Wednesday
Wed, Sep 16, 2026, 6:43 PM
Wyatt (ankle) was a limited participant at the Packers' practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Wyatt was able to play 53 percent of the team's defensive snaps while recording three solo tackles in Green Bay's 39-22 loss to the Vikings in Week 1 after he was limited at practice the entire week. The defensive lineman appears to be on the same track ahead of Week 2, and he'll have two more chances to log a full practice prior to Sunday's matchup with the Jets. |

Josh Whyle Josh Whyle Not mentioned in injury report
Wed, Sep 16, 2026, 6:42 PM
Whyle (neck) was not listed on the injury report Wednesday.
Analysis: Whyle injured his neck in Sunday's 39-22 loss to Minnesota, but it appears it wasn't anything too serious. The 27-year-old is currently on track to play in Week 2 against the Jets, though he isn't expected to be much of a contributor behind Tucker Kraft and Jonnu Smith. |

Dealing with concussion
Wed, Sep 16, 2026, 6:36 PM
Van Ness (concussion) was limited at the Packers' practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Van Ness recorded four solo tackles, including 1.0 sacks, in the team's 39-22 loss to the Vikings in Week 1, but he appears to have suffered a concussion at some point in the contest. The 25-year-old's ability to practice in any capacity is a positive sign, but he will have to clear concussion protocol in order to play Sunday on the road versus the Jets. |
|
Full practice Wednesday
Wed, Sep 16, 2026, 6:32 PM
Cisse (cramps) was a full participant at the Packers' practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Cisse was dealing with cramps during the team's 39-22 loss to the Vikings in Week 1, but he now appears to be back to full health. The 21-year-old will likely operate in his starting role at cornerback opposite of Keisean Nixon on Sunday against the Jets. |

Four tackles in regular-season opener
Tue, Sep 15, 2026, 9:54 PM
Franklin recorded four total tackles (two solo) in Sunday's 39-22 loss to Minnesota.
Analysis: Franklin didn't have the most impressive regular-season debut with Green Bay, but he was on the field for all 64 of the team's defensive snaps in Week 1. The linebacker registered at least 125 total tackles in each of his last four seasons with the Colts prior to being traded to the Packers in March, and he will likely be more busy moving forward this year. |

Nice showing in loss
Tue, Sep 15, 2026, 7:18 PM
Cooper recorded seven tackles (six solo) including 1.0 sacks during Sunday's 39-22 loss at Minnesota.
Analysis: Cooper was on the field for 64 of the Packers' 65 defensive snaps in Week 1, and his seven total tackles tied for the team lead on the day with safety Evan Williams. He's solidly on the IDP radar in most formats going into a Week 2 tilt against the Jets. |
|
Picks off pass in loss
Tue, Sep 15, 2026, 7:12 PM
Nixon recorded five tackles (three solo) including 0.5 sacks and an interception during Sunday's 39-22 loss at Minnesota.
Analysis: Nixon intercepted an ill-advised Kyler Murray pass on the second play of the game from scrimmage, setting up a Packers field goal. He has never recorded more than one interception in a season, and he'll be looking to change that starting in a Week 2 matchup against the Jets. |

Trey Smack Trey Smack Buries 59-yarder in debut
Mon, Sep 14, 2026, 8:57 PM
Smack made all three of his field-goal attempts while missing one of two PATs in Sunday's 39-22 loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: Smack made field goals from 59 yards, 43 yards, and 26 yards but fell short of a flawless night after missing an extra-point try. The sixth-round rookie had a strong debut overall with 10 total points. |

Skyy Moore Skyy Moore Logs 17 return yards versus Vikings
Mon, Sep 14, 2026, 8:56 PM
Moore failed to catch his only target and returned two punts for 17 yards during Green Bay's loss to the Vikings on Sunday.
Analysis: Moore saw the majority of his playing time on special teams, seeing 11 snaps compared to only four on offense. The 2022 second-round pick will likely continue to serve as the team's primary returner going forward while seeing limited action on offense. |
|
Kaleb Johnson Kaleb Johnson Produces in few snaps
Mon, Sep 14, 2026, 8:52 PM
Johnson returned two kicks for 52 yards in Sunday's 39-22 loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: Johnson played just two snaps in the context, both on special teams and both in which he received the ball. The third-string running back did not see a carry behind MarShawn Lloyd or Chris Brooks, but may have earned himself a bigger role with the special teams unit as the team heads into Week 2 against the Jets. |

Bo Melton Bo Melton Signs with active roster
Mon, Sep 14, 2026, 7:52 PM
The Packers signed Melton to the active roster Monday.
Analysis: Melton was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster for Sunday's loss to the Vikings. The wide receiver played 27 total snaps, catching his sole target for 10 yards on one of his seven offensive plays. The wide receiver played in 16 regular-season games for the Packers in 2025, logging four receptions for 107 yards and a touchdown as well as five rushing attempts for 35 yards. |

Jonnu Smith Jonnu Smith Logs long catch in loss
Mon, Sep 14, 2026, 7:24 PM
Smith caught two of three targets for 50 yards in Sunday's Week 1 loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: Jordan Love wasn't shy about going to his tight ends, as Smith and Tucker Kraft combined for five catches and 115 yards. The bulk of Smith's production came on a 43-yard reception midway through the third quarter on which he was left wide open. Kraft is the clear No. 1 tight end in Green Bay, but Smith logged 32 of 68 offensive snaps Sunday and should chip in as a pass catcher most weeks. With that said, he's unlikely to be a trustworthy fantasy asset unless Kraft is sidelined at some point. |

Chris Brooks Chris Brooks Logs seven carries vs. Minnesota
Mon, Sep 14, 2026, 7:16 PM
Brooks turned seven carries into 29 yards and failed to haul in his lone target during the Packers' 39-22 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.
Analysis: With Josh Jacobs (personal) on the Commissioner's Exempt List to open the season, the Packers went with a one-two punch of Brooks and MarShawn Lloyd in the backfield. Brooks 38 snaps on offense were ahead of Lloyd (30), though the latter led all Packers running backs with 13 for 37 yards. Neither RB managed to get anything going in the passing game, so the Packers may just ride the hot hand on a game-to-game basis while Jacobs is sidelined. The Packers will stay on the road for their Week 2 matchup against the Jets on Sept. 20. |

Matthew Golden Matthew Golden Draws team-high 12 targets in win
Sun, Sep 13, 2026, 8:48 PM
Golden caught six of 12 targets for 95 yards in Sunday's 39-22 loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: With the Packers chasing the Vikings on the scoreboard much of the fourth quarter and getting virtually nothing from their running game all day, Jordan Love dropped back to pass 46 times, and Golden's 40 routes and 12 targets both led the team, as he lined up out wide 92.5 percent of the time. The second-year wideout's 28.6 percent target share is a great sign for his fantasy viability moving forward. Golden will be a WR3 with upside next Sunday on the road against the Jets. |

MarShawn Lloyd MarShawn Lloyd Leading rusher in ineffective RB room
Sun, Sep 13, 2026, 8:35 PM
Lloyd rushed 13 times for 37 yards and didn't catch his lone target in Sunday's 39-22 loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: Lloyd worked ahead of Chris Brooks (seven carries for 29 yards) in a Packers backfield that struggled to generate much in the absence of Josh Jacobs (personal), who is on the Commissioner's Exempt List. Jordan Love threw 42 passes compared to 20 combined carries for Lloyd and Brooks, even though Green Bay led for most of the game prior to being outscored 22-0 in the fourth quarter. Lloyd looks poised to handle double-digit touches again in Week 2 against the Jets. |

Jordan Love Jordan Love Throws for 387 yards in loss
Sun, Sep 13, 2026, 8:34 PM
Love completed 21 of 42 passes for 387 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 39-22 loss to the Vikings. He also rushed once for no gain and fumbled twice, losing one.
Analysis: Love started hot, connecting with Christian Watson for an 81-yard touchdown in the first quarter and a two-yard touchdown in the final minute of the first half. Green Bay's offense sputtered in the second half, and both of Love's turnovers came in the fourth quarter, during which the Vikings outscored the Packers, 22-0. Love finished with the second-highest passing yards total of his career, trailing only his 389-yard performance in a Week 4 loss to the Vikings in 2024, and he exceeded 42 pass attempts only once in 15 regular-season starts last season. Green Bay may continue to rely heavily on Love's arm as long as Josh Jacobs (personal) is on the Commissioner's Exempt List, which may remain the case in Week 2 against the Jets. |
|
Tucker Kraft Tucker Kraft Three catches in return
Sun, Sep 13, 2026, 8:32 PM
Kraft caught three of six targets for 65 yards in Sunday's 39-22 loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: Kraft avoided the Week 1 injury report in his return from a torn ACL suffered in Week 9 of last season. He finished third on the team in receiving yards in his return, behind wide receivers Christian Watson (147 yards) and Matthew Golden (95 yards). Kraft is poised to maintain a prominent role in Week 2 against the Jets. |
|
Jayden Reed Jayden Reed Seven targets in loss
Sun, Sep 13, 2026, 7:55 PM
Reed caught three of his seven targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 39-22 loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: Reed saw the third-most targets for the Packers behind Matthew Golden (12) and Christian Watson (8), but the wide receiver could not haul in enough to match either's production. Tucker Kraft's 60 yards and Jonnu Smith's 50 yards also outproduced Reed on fewer targets, meaning Week 1 may not have instilled Jordan Love with much trust in the wide receiver. |
|
Christian Watson Christian Watson Racks up 147 yards, two TDs in loss
Sun, Sep 13, 2026, 7:47 PM
Watson caught six of eight targets for 147 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 39-22 loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: Watson broke free down the sideline for an 81-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter and added a two-yard touchdown catch to give the Packers a 19-10 lead with 14 seconds left in the first half. The Vikings dominated the second half as Green Bay's offense went quiet. Jordan Love threw the ball 42 times, and Watson could benefit if the Packers continue to employ pass-heavy game plans during the indefinite absence of starting running back Josh Jacobs (personal), who is on the Commissioner's Exempt List. Watson finished second on the team in targets Sunday behind Matthew Golden (12). The Packers will try to put this second-half collapse behind them in a Week 2 road game against the Jets. |
