Records third interception of 2026
Wed, Nov 11, 2026, 8:55 PM
Williams logged five tackles (four solo) and one interception during the Packers' 45-27 win over the Patriots in Week 9.
Analysis: Brandon Cisse broke up a deep pass from Drake Maye to Kyle Williams early in the second quarter, and Williams was able to make a toe-tapping grab for the takeaway. Williams is up to three interceptions on the year, which ties his career high that he set across 16 regular-season games in 2025. The third-year defensive back is up to 76 tackles (48 solo), including 1.0 sacks, seven pass defenses and one fumble recovery through nine regular-season games. |

Picks off Maye twice in Week 9 win
Wed, Nov 11, 2026, 8:52 PM
McKinney posted four tackles (two solo) and two interceptions during the Packers' 45-27 win over the Patriots in Week 9.
Analysis: Both of McKinney's interceptions took place in the first half, and the Packers offense capitalized by scoring touchdowns off of each of those two takeaways. It was the second time this season that McKinney logged two picks, and his five interceptions are tied with Amani Hooker for most in the NFL. McKinney is up to 38 tackles (22 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and six pass defenses through nine regular-season games. |

Takes down Maye in Week 9 victory
Wed, Nov 11, 2026, 8:43 PM
McDuffie registered 10 tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery during the Packers' 45-27 win over the Patriots in Week 9.
Analysis: McDuffie's first tackle of the game was a nine-yard sack on Drake Maye early in the first quarter, which led to the Patriots punting the ball away on the next play. McDuffie also recovered the fumble he forced late in the third quarter, which the Packers offense turned into a 37-yard touchdown pass from Jordan Love to Christian Watson one play later. McDuffie has racked up double-digit stops in three consecutive games, and he's been the starting inside linebacker in each of those contests due to the absence of Zaire Franklin (shin). McDuffie should hang onto his starting role against the Vikings on Sunday assuming Franklin is ruled out for that game. |

Limited in Wednesday's practice
Wed, Nov 11, 2026, 6:27 PM
Hopper (chest) was a limited participant in Wednesday's jog-through practice.
Analysis: Hopper picked up a chest injury during the first quarter of the Packers' win against the Patriots in Week 9 and did not return. The good news for the third-year pro is that he was cleared to practice in a limited fashion Wednesday. If Hopper can upgrade his participation over the next two days, then he would likely avoid an injury designation for Sunday's NFC North showdown against the Vikings. |

Nursing ankle injury
Wed, Nov 11, 2026, 6:24 PM
Bullard (ankle) was held out of Wednesday's jog-through practice.
Analysis: Bullard may have tweaked his ankle during the Packers' win over the Patriots in Week 9, when he logged three tackles (two solo). He'll have two more chances to return to practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Vikings, but if he cannot play in that contest, then Kamal Hadden, Carrington Valentine and Benjamin St-Juste would all be in line for more defensive snaps in the secondary. |
|
Working through back issue
Wed, Nov 11, 2026, 6:21 PM
Van Ness (back) was listed as a DNP on Wednesday's practice report.
Analysis: The Packers hosted a jog-through practice Wednesday, but Van Ness was a spectator for that session due to a back injury that he may have picked up during the Packers' Week 9 win over the Patriots, when he logged one solo tackle. He'll have two more opportunities to practice in at least a limited capacity ahead of Sunday's NFC North tilt against Minnesota. |

DNP to open Week 10 prep
Wed, Nov 11, 2026, 6:19 PM
Franklin (shin) did not participate in Wednesday's jog-through practice.
Analysis: Franklin has missed the Packers' last three games while recovering from a hairline fracture in his shin that he suffered in Week 6 against the Cowboys. He hasn't been cleared to practice since sustaining the injury, so unless he can return to on-field action over the next couple of days, Franklin is unlikely to be available for this Sunday's NFC North showdown against the Vikings. Isaiah McDuffie has stepped into a starting role at inside linebacker in Franklin's absence. |
Bo Melton Bo Melton Logs full session Wednesday
Wed, Nov 11, 2026, 6:17 PM
Melton (head) was a full participant in Wednesday's jog-through practice.
Analysis: Melton was removed from this past Sunday's game against the Patriots in order to be evaluated for a possible concussion. His ability to practice in full Wednesday is an encouraging sign for his availability for Week 10 against the Vikings on Nov. 15. Melton has five catches (on 10 targets) for 34 yards and 372 yards on 14 kickoffs through nine regular-season games, although he has not recorded a reception since Week 7 against the Lions. |
Skyy Moore Skyy Moore Logs limited session in return
Wed, Nov 11, 2026, 6:13 PM
The Packers designated Moore (ankle) to return from injured reserve Wednesday.
Analysis: Moore was a limited participant in Wednesday's jog-through practice, which was his first on-field action since being placed on injured reserve in mid-October due to an ankle injury. He's mostly operated as a returner on kickoffs and punts this season, but his return would also give the Packers some extra depth at wide receiver. |
Chris Brooks Chris Brooks Limited to open Week 10 prep
Wed, Nov 11, 2026, 6:10 PM
Brooks (ankle) was listed as a limited practice participant for Wednesday's jog-through session.
Analysis: Brooks continues to work his way back from an ankle injury that caused him to land on injured reserve in early October. He would likely need to log consecutive full practices before being activated from IR. The Packers face the Vikings on Sunday, and Green Bay is expected to be without Josh Jacobs for 2-to-3 weeks due to a broken right ring finger, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. |
Trey Smack Trey Smack Limited with calf issue
Wed, Nov 11, 2026, 4:18 PM
Smack (calf) was estimated as limited in Wednesday's jog-through practice.
Analysis: It's a new injury for the Packers' rookie kicker, who went a perfect 7-for-7 on kicks in last Sunday's demolition of the Patriots. The team doesn't currently employ another kicker on the active roster or practice squad. |

Officially LP on Wednesday
Wed, Nov 11, 2026, 4:16 PM
Parsons (knee/illness) officially was limited at Wednesday's jog-through.
Analysis: Prior to Wednesday's session, head coach Matt LaFleur told Ryan Wood of USA Today that Parsons wasn't slated to participate Wednesday due to an illness, but he instead did enough to avoid a DNP listing. On top of that, Parsons is expected to return to team drills later this week, so it'll be interesting to see if he goes down as a full participant Thursday and/or Friday. The Packers are exactly one week into a 21-day window in which to evaluate Parsons and activate him from IR, so the team likely will continue to exercise caution with his return to action. |
Savion Williams Savion Williams Limited by groin issue
Wed, Nov 11, 2026, 4:16 PM
Williams (groin) was limited in Wednesday's jog-through practice.
Analysis: It's a new injury for Williams, who previously missed a chunk of the season with an ankle injury. He's been running as the Packers' clear third receiver behind Matthew Golden and Christian Watson over the last few weeks. If Williams is unable to play against Minnesota on Sunday, Bo Melton and J. Michael Sturdivant could see an uptick in snaps, though Skyy Moore (ankle) had his 21-day practice window opened and could also be an option. |
MarShawn Lloyd MarShawn Lloyd Good to go for Week 10
Wed, Nov 11, 2026, 4:13 PM
Lloyd (knee) is not listed on the Packers' injury report Wednesday.
Analysis: The running back appears ready to return to the lineup for Sunday's game against the Vikings after missing Week 9 against New England. With Josh Jacobs (finger) set to miss some time, Lloyd figures to be part of the backfield mix, joining Kaleb Johnson and Pierre Strong. |
|
Won't practice Wednesday
Wed, Nov 11, 2026, 12:49 PM
Parsons (knee) won't practice Wednesday due to an illness, but head coach Matt LaFleur said the pass rusher is expected to mix into team drills this week, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
Analysis: This marks Parsons' second week of work since the Packers designated him for return from the reserve/PUP list last Wednesday. While an illness will delay his initial practice reps of this week, his potential return to team drills Thursday and/or Friday may mean a full listing is possible this time around. In any case, Friday's injury report will reveal if Parsons has a chance to play Sunday against the Vikings. |
Josh Jacobs Josh Jacobs Could return in 2-to-3 weeks
Wed, Nov 11, 2026, 11:59 AM
Jacobs will undergo surgery on his broken right ring finger later this week and could be cleared to play in as soon as 2-to-3 weeks, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Jacobs will be sidelined for Sunday's game against the Vikings, but with the Packers on bye in Week 11, the running back has a shot at returning to action as soon as Week 12 versus the Rams on Nov. 25. The Packers will wait for Jacobs' surgery to be completed before deciding Saturday whether he'll require a stint on injured reserve -- and the automatic four-game absence that comes with it -- or if he'll remain on the 53-man roster. For however long Jacobs ends up being sidelined, the Packers are likely to lean on Kaleb Johnson and MarShawn Lloyd (knee) as their top options on the ground. |
Jonnu Smith Jonnu Smith Uninvolved vs. Patriots in Week 9
Tue, Nov 10, 2026, 10:08 PM
Smith didn't log a target or touch in a 45-27 win over the Patriots on Sunday.
Analysis: Jordan Love threw for a massive 372 yards in the victory, but Smith wasn't targeted on any of the quarterback's 29 passes. That's been par for the course this season -- Smith has drawn one or zero targets in five straight appearances. The veteran tight end has had some productive offensive seasons in his career, but it appears Smith isn't going to be a big part of the Packers' passing-game plans this year. |
Pierre Strong Jr. Pierre Strong Jr. Totals 33 yards in Week 9 win
Tue, Nov 10, 2026, 6:49 PM
Strong rushed eight times for 22 yards in Sunday's 45-27 win over the Patriots. He added two catches for 11 yards on two targets.
Analysis: With Josh Jacobs (finger) knocked out of the game in the first quarter and set to miss several weeks, Strong figures to see his role expand in Green Bay's backfield, though MarShawn Lloyd, Kaleb Johnson and even Chris Brooks (ankle) are likely to also see snaps in the coming weeks. Strong is not a recommended fantasy target in 12-team leagues. |
Kaleb Johnson Kaleb Johnson Could lead backfield again Week 10
Tue, Nov 10, 2026, 10:24 AM
Johnson could serve as the Packers' lead option on the ground in Sunday's game against the Vikings with Josh Jacobs (finger) expected to miss multiple weeks and with the status of MarShawn Lloyd (knee) uncertain, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: After being a healthy inactive for the Packers' previous two games, Johnson suited up for Sunday's tilt with the Patriots while Lloyd was inactive. With Jacobs leaving the contest late in the first quarter after fracturing his right ring finger, Johnson was thrust into action and delivered the Packers' best rushing performance of the season, finishing with 14 carries for 68 yards and a touchdown in the 45-27 win. Head coach Matt LaFleur relayed Monday that Jacobs will need surgery and could land on injured reserve, and while Lloyd could have a chance at returning to action Week 10, the Packers likely came away encouraged enough by Johnson's showing in Foxborough to give him another turn as their lead option on the ground. Johnson isn't likely to earn much passing-down work, however, as Lloyd, Pierre Strong and Chris Brooks (ankle) -- who could return from IR this week -- are all more capable options in that phase. |

Chris Brooks Chris Brooks Could return from IR
Mon, Nov 9, 2026, 3:35 PM
As Week 10 approaches, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com indicates that Brooks (ankle) may be ready to return from IR.
Analysis: Brooks -- who last played in Week 4 -- was designated to return from injured reserve this past Wednesday and listed as questionable ahead of Week 9. Though the Packers held off on activating Brooks for Sunday's win over the Patriots, he could be needed more than expected going forward, with Josh Jacobs in line to miss time with a finger injury that may result in an IR stint. |
