Practice window opened
Wed, Oct 14, 2026, 8:53 PM
Riley (Achilles) had his 21-day practice window opened by the Packers on Wednesday, Mike Spofford of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Riley has been on the active/PUP list since Aug. 31 while continuing to recover from a torn Achilles tendon. The defensive lineman made his return to practice Wednesday, logging a limited session to open the week. With Javon Hargrave (Achilles) done for the season, Riley's return to action will be a welcomed one, whenever that may be. |

Misses practice Wednesday
Wed, Oct 14, 2026, 7:13 PM
Nixon (groin) did not participate at the Packers' practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Nixon is dealing with an apparent groin injury to open the week after recording six total tackles (four solo) and a pass defensed during the team's 31-7 win over the Bears in Week 5. The cornerback will have two more chances to return to practice before Sunday night's contest against the Cowboys. |

Dealing with illness
Wed, Oct 14, 2026, 7:04 PM
Williams (illness) was a limited participant at the Packers' practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Williams is dealing with an illness to open the week, and he was unable to be a full participant at practice as a result. The safety will have two more chances to log a full practice before Sunday night's matchup with the Cowboys. |
Skyy Moore Skyy Moore Unable to practice Wednesday
Wed, Oct 14, 2026, 6:12 PM
Moore (ankle) did not participate at the Packers' practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Moore was sidelined at practice to open the week, as expected. The wide receiver suffered an ankle injury during the team's 31-7 victory over Chicago in Week 5, and he was using a scooter to get around the locker room while his left foot was in a boot Wednesday, per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Moore seems unlikely to be available for Week 6, and if he is unable to play, Bo Melton and J. Michael Sturdivant would both be candidates to see an increase in opportunities on offense versus Dallas. |

Skyy Moore Skyy Moore Not practicing to kick off Week 6
Wed, Oct 14, 2026, 1:25 PM
Moore (ankle) wasn't spotted at Wednesday's practice, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.
Analysis: Moore will open Week 6 prep as a non-participant after he made an early exit from this past Sunday's 31-7 win over the Bears due to the ankle injury. He'll have two more chances to potentially get back on the practice field before the Packers decide on his status for this Sunday's game against the Cowboys. If Moore isn't available to play, Bo Melton would likely step in as the Packers' No. 3 wideout behind Christian Watson and Matthew Golden. |

Unlikely to return for Week 6
Mon, Oct 12, 2026, 12:41 PM
Parsons (knee) isn't expected to return to practice this week ahead of the Packers' Week 6 game against the Cowboys on Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: It's unclear when Parsons' 21-day practice window will open, but the Packers are hoping the superstar pass rusher will be back on the field in October. Parsons is in the final stages of his recovery from a torn ACL in his left knee that he suffered in Week 15 of the 2025 season. For now, Green Bay will continue to rely on Lukas Van Ness and Barryn Sorrell as the team's top pass rushers, with Dani Dennis-Sutton and Brenton Cox providing depth at the position. |
Pierre Strong Jr. Pierre Strong Jr. Works as No. 2 back in Week 5
Mon, Oct 12, 2026, 11:50 AM
Strong took the field for 24 of the Packers' 59 offensive snaps in Sunday's 31-7 win over the Bears, finishing with five carries for seven yards and three catches for 11 yards on four targets.
Analysis: Signed off the practice squad Thursday, Strong made his Packers debut three days later and ended up settling in as the No. 2 option in the backfield behind MarShawn Lloyd, who played just two more snaps but handily out-produced him (10-31-2 rushing line, one catch for six yards). Meanwhile, after committing a costly goal-line fumble in the Week 4 win over the Buccaneers, Kaleb Johnson logged just nine snaps and gained 26 yards on his seven carries. As the more capable option on passing downs, Strong looks like he could continue to work ahead of Johnson while Chris Brooks (ankle) is on injured reserve. |
Tyrod Taylor Tyrod Taylor Sees first action with Green Bay
Mon, Oct 12, 2026, 11:44 AM
Taylor played the final two snaps of Sunday's 31-7 win over the Bears, losing two yards on a pair of kneeldowns.
Analysis: Signed to a one-year, $2.5 million deal in May to serve as Jordan Love's backup, Taylor was summoned off the bench for his first snaps of the season as the Packers closed out a blowout win. So long as Love stays healthy, Taylor's appearances will be limited to garbage-time situations throughout the season. |

Achilles tear confirmed
Mon, Oct 12, 2026, 11:27 AM
MRI tests Monday confirmed that Hargrave tore his Achilles during the Packers' 31-7 win over the Bears on Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: It's another brutal blow to the Packers defense, which lost linebacker Edgerrin Cooper to the same injury in Week 4 against the Buccaneers. The next step for Hargrave is season-ending surgery, and the recovery timeline could keep the veteran defensive lineman sidelined for part of the 2027 campaign. With both Hargrave and Jordon Riley (Achilles, PUP) done for the year, 2022 seventh-rounder Jonathan Ford figures to see a significant jump in snaps on the defensive line for the rest of the 2026 season. |
Trey Smack Trey Smack Poor second half in Week 5 win
Mon, Oct 12, 2026, 9:41 AM
Smack went 1-for-3 on field-goal attempts and 2-for-3 on extra-point tries during the Packers' 31-7 win over the Bears on Sunday.
Analysis: Smack missed field goals from 43 and 47 yards in the fourth quarter, which came after his extra-point try early in the third missed wide left. It was by far the worst performance of the rookie's young NFL career, but luckily for him, the Packers dominated enough offensively and defensively that his kicking miscues were a wash. Smack will have a prime opportunity to bounce back in Week 6 on Oct. 18 against the Cowboys, who give up the seventh-most points in the NFL this season (27.2). |
MarShawn Lloyd MarShawn Lloyd Scores twice in dominant win
Sun, Oct 11, 2026, 9:55 PM
Lloyd rushed 10 times for 31 yards and two touchdowns while catching one of two targets for six yards during Sunday's 31-7 win over the Bears.
Analysis: Lloyd was able to open the second quarter with a 10-yard touchdown run before later adding a four-yard score in the fourth quarter. The running back's 10 carries were his most since logging 13 rushes for 37 yards in Week 1 versus Minnesota. Lloyd has now compiled 112 rushing yards on 40 carries and two touchdowns while reeling in 10 of 13 targets for 55 yards and a score over five games to open the 2026 season while operating as Green Bay's primary option in the backfield with Josh Jacobs (personal) on the Commissioner's Exempt List. |
Tucker Kraft Tucker Kraft Productive with five catches in win
Sun, Oct 11, 2026, 5:47 PM
Kraft brought in all five targets for 64 yards and rushed once for two yards in the Packers' 31-7 win over the Bears on Sunday.
Analysis: Kraft was an ideal complementary piece alongside top receivers Christian Watson and Matthew Golden, who combined for 12 receptions for 266 yards and two touchdowns (Watson) on the afternoon. Kraft still managed to finish with his second-highest reception and receiving yardage totals of the season, and he should remain busy in what is likely to be a high-scoring Week 6 home showdown against the Cowboys next Sunday night. |
Jordan Love Jordan Love Elite numbers in easy win
Sun, Oct 11, 2026, 4:02 PM
Love completed 25 of 31 passes for 367 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while adding one carry for six yards in the Packers' 31-7 win over the Bears on Sunday. He also fumbled once but recovered.
Analysis: Love was in prime form all afternoon against the Packers' long-time arch-rival, finishing with the third-highest single-game passing yardage total of his career while facilitating 100-yard efforts for both Christian Watson and Matthew Golden. The veteran signal-caller connected with the former for both of his touchdown passes, which came from 42 and 53 yards out in the first and third quarters, respectively. Love already has a trio of 300-yard games on the season and a 10:3 TD:INT heading into a Week 6 home matchup against the Cowboys next Sunday night. |
Matthew Golden Matthew Golden Eclipses century mark in win
Sun, Oct 11, 2026, 3:51 PM
Golden secured six of seven targets for 123 yards in the Packers' 31-7 win over the Bears on Sunday. He also returned two punts for 27 yards.
Analysis: As good as Golden's afternoon was, he was actually slightly outshined by fellow wideout Christian Watson, who had 20 more receiving yards on the same number of catches and one additional target. Nevertheless, Golden's afternoon included a new career high in receiving yards, as well as a career-high-tying reception total. The second-year speedster is already well on his way to a breakout campaign, and he now has had at least seven targets in four of his first five games. The 2025 first-round pick will take a 24-397-2 line on 44 targets into a favorable Week 6 home matchup against the Cowboys next Sunday night. |
Christian Watson Christian Watson Stellar two-TD performance in win
Sun, Oct 11, 2026, 3:41 PM
Watson brought in six of eight targets for 143 yards and two touchdowns in the Packers' 31-7 win over the Bears on Sunday.
Analysis: Watson tied for the team lead in receptions with Matthew Golden while setting the pace in both receiving yards and targets. Watson struck for the first of his two touchdowns with a 42-yard grab that capped off Green Bay's 10-play opening drive. The veteran field-stretcher then added a spectacular contested 53-yard touchdown reception to put a stamp on the Packers' first drive of the second half, and Watson ultimately finished just five yards short of eclipsing the season-high 147 he put up in Week 1 against the Vikings. Watson will take a 26-474-6 line into a Week 6 home showdown against the Cowboys next Sunday night. |

Likely sustained season-ending injury
Sun, Oct 11, 2026, 3:39 PM
Hargrave likely sustained a season-ending torn Achilles, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.
Analysis: Hargrave was carted off the field near the end of the Packers' 31-7 blowout win over the Bears on Sunday. The defensive tackle now appears to be destined for season-ending IR unless the preliminary evaluation was drastically mishandled. |
|
Carted off field
Sun, Oct 11, 2026, 3:16 PM
Hargrave (undisclosed) was carted off the field in the final minutes of Sunday's game against the Bears, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Since Hargrave suffered his injury near the end of the game, he never received an official injury designation. The defensive tackle being carted off the field signals the injury is likely significant. |
|
Exits with hamstring injury
Sun, Oct 11, 2026, 2:36 PM
St-Juste (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bears.
Analysis: St-Juste suited up for Sunday's game while dealing with a hamstring issue. The cornerback likely aggravated the injury over the course of the game, meaning it is likely the Packers will rest the 29-year-old to avoid increasing the severity of the injury. |
|
Skyy Moore Skyy Moore Shut down for rest of Week 5
Sun, Oct 11, 2026, 1:37 PM
The Packers ruled out Moore (ankle) for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Bears.
Analysis: Moore hauled in his lone target for no gain before exiting the contest early in the second quarter. With Moore done for the rest of the afternoon, Bo Melton and J. Michael Sturdivant are expected to serve as the Packers' primary kickoff returners, while Matthew Golden will likely take over on punt returns. The Packers will also rely on Melton and Sturdivant to fill in for Moore at the No. 3 receiver spot. |
|
Skyy Moore Skyy Moore Managing knee issue, iffy to return
Sun, Oct 11, 2026, 12:50 PM
Moore is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bears due to an ankle injury.
Analysis: Moore headed to the locker room in the second quarter to receive further evaluation on his ankle injury. Before departing, Moore reeled in his lone target for no gain. If Moore is unable to check back into the game, the Packers will rely on Bo Melton and J. Michael Sturdivant to handle the No. 3 receiver role, while Matthew Golden will likely fill in for Moore on punt returns. |
