Packers HC Matt LaFleur said Wednesday that TE Tucker Kraft (knee) "looks great right now." He's working back from injuries to his ACL, LCL, and meniscus suffered on November 2. "He looks so good that you want to put him out there, but we’re certainly still early in that process," LaFleur added. "Hopefully, he’ll be ready to go by training camp or early in training camp."

Packers RB Josh Jacobs turned himself in to Hobart/Lawrence PD in Wisconsin today after a May 23rd disturbance complaint that police were dispatched to. Jacobs faces a felony assault charge of strangulation and suffocation, along with four misdemeanor charges, including a battery - domestic abuse charge. Jacobs' attornies released a statement vehemently denying the allegations and charges.

Packers RB MarShawn Lloyd has appeared in just one regular-season game since Green Bay took him in Round 3 of the 2024 NFL Draft. Hamstring, ankle, groin, and calf injuries, plus an appendectomy, have kept him off the field. But RBs coach Ben Sirmans said this week that Lloyd is healthy now, and the team is optimistic he'll contribute in 2026.

Packers WR Jayden Reed signed a three-year $50.25 million extension, including $20 million guaranteed according to his agents Drew Rosenhaus and Ian Grutman. The Packers traded WR Dontayvion Wicks to the Eagles earlier this month and also didn’t re-sign Romeo Doubs who left via free agency. Reed will remain the slot WR for the Packers behind Christian Watson and Matthew Golden.

ESPN's Rob Demovsky confirms that Packers WR Matthew Golden is in line to play a bigger role in 2026, following a quiet rookie season. Green Bay let WR Romeo Doubs depart in free agency and then traded WR Dontayvion Wicks to Philadelphia. That leaves Golden as the favorite for a starting outside spot opposite WR Christian Watson, with WR Jayden Reed in the slot. "Despite a rookie season in which the Packers never seemed to make Golden a focal point of the offense, they came away feeling the 2025 first-round pick was ready for more," Demovsky writes.

The Colts are trading LB Zaire Franklin to the Packers for DL Colby Wooden. Franklin spent eight years with the Colts and arrives with two left on his contract.

The Packers have selected Jonathan Gannon to replace Jeff Hafley as defensive coordinator. Gannon spent the past three seasons leading Arizona to a 15-36 record but wasn't calling defensive plays for those squads, which sported iffy talent. He spent two years before that coordinating Philly defenses that each ranked top 12 in scoring. The 2022 unit allowed the leagues fewest passing yards, tallied the most sacks and ranked fourth in INTs. Gannon spent seven seasons before that coaching DBs in Minnesota, then Indianapolis. He has been in the NFL as a coach or scout since 2007.

Packers beat writer Matt Schneidman relayed the full extent of TE Tucker Kraft’s season-ending knee injury. The 25-year-old suffered a torn ACL, along with a partially torn meniscus and a “damaged” LCL. Kraft expects to start training camp on the PUP list but sounded optimistic about his chance of playing Week 1. “My timeline, I’m not in a race or anything like that. It happened. By the time Week 1 rolls around, I’ll be 10 months post-surgery and hopefully bulletproofed by then,” Kraft said via The Athletic. “I already feel pretty good. My progress so far has been great. Some would say even ahead of schedule. So, not trying to blow anything out of proportion. I’m not even 10 weeks in yet, but it’s feeling good so far. Everything’s going great. I’m in good hands here.” We’ll see where Kraft comes out in 2026 ADP. He finished 2025 as the PPR TE3 in points per game.

"This is the best I've felt in six weeks." That's what Green Bay RB Josh Jacobs said Wednesday, according to ESPN's Rob Demovsky. The Packers writer adds that Jacobs has been "dealing with a swollen and stiff knee." Jacobs is off the injury report for the first time since Week 11.

Packers RB Josh Jacobs is a healthy scratch for today's game vs. the Vikings. Green Bay is starting Clayton Tune at QB and figures to rest more regulars. RB Emanuel Wilson is the best bet for carries but isn't an exciting fantasy option with his team implied for 12.5 points.

Packers QB Clayton Tune will start Sunday's finale against the Vikings, HC Matt LaFleur announced on Thursday. QB Jordan Love has cleared concussion protocol, but the team will sit him and QB Malik Willis with nothing to gain in this one. Tune's only NFL start came as a rookie with the Cardinals back in 2023. The former fifth-round pick gets a Vikings defense that has allowed just one QB to reach 200 passing yards since Week 9. And Green Bay's top pass catchers probably won't play much, if at all. We wish Tune the best of luck.

The Packers are expected to rest starters in next weekend's regular-season finale vs. the Vikings, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Green Bay's loss to the Ravens on Saturday night locked them into the NFC's No. 7 seed. RB Josh Jacobs, who's been battling injuries for most of the season, is the most obvious candidate to sit. That'd leave Emanuel Wilson as the lead back. QB Jordan Love could also sit part or all of the game. We'll look for more details on Green Bay's plans. The matchup against a red-hot Minnesota defense makes all Packers less intriguing in Week 18 fantasy lineups.

Packers WR Christian Watson (shoulder, illness) is active for tonight's game vs. the Ravens. We're expecting him to play his usual allotment of snaps, but Watson makes for a shaky fantasy start in what figures to be a run-heavy game from the Malik Willis-led Packers.

Packers QB Jordan Love (concussion) is inactive for tonight's game vs. the Ravens. QB Malik Willis makes his first start of the season in Love's place. Willis' rushing ability makes him an intriguing play in superflex leagues, but he's a definite downgrade for Green Bay's pass catchers. Expect a run-heavy game play from the Packers.

Packers QB Jordan Love (concussion) won't play vs. the Ravens on Saturday night, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Love was limited in practice all week and should be cleared in time for Week 18. QB Malik Willis, who's also listed as questionable with a right shoulder injury, is expected to start against Baltimore, per Schefter. We've had it projected that way all week, so there are no changes to the Week 17 rankings. Expect an extremely run-heavy game from Green Bay.

Packers WR Christian Watson (shoulder, illness) is listed as questionable for Saturday night's game vs. the Ravens. He was a full-go on Tuesday and Wednesday but sat out Thursday's practice, presumably because of the illness. If that's the case, Watson should be fine for the Baltimore game. But we'll keep you posted on his status and get Green Bay's inactives around 6:30 pm ET on Saturday. Watson will be a much more comfortable fantasy play if it's QB Jordan Love under center.

Packers RB Josh Jacobs (knee, ankle) is not listed on the final Week 17 injury report. He was limited in practice all week, so it's safe to assume that he's still not at 100%. But the fact that he dodged a 'questionable' tag might suggest that he's in better shape than he was heading into last weekend's game vs. the Bears. Jacobs carried just 12 times in that one. We're projecting him for more work vs. Baltimore -- although still not a full workload.

Packers QBs Jordan Love (concussion, left shoulder) and Malik Willis (right shoulder, illness) are listed as questionable for Saturday night's game vs. the Ravens. Love was limited in practice all week. The fact that he didn't get in a full practice has us skeptical that he'll clear protocol before kickoff. Willis got in limited practices on Tuesday and Thursday, presumably sitting on Wednesday due to the illness. We're currently projecting Willis to start on Saturday but will keep you updated on the situation. The Packers don't have another QB on the active roster. QB Clayton Tune is on the practice squad.

Packers QB Jordan Love (concussion, left shoulder) was limited in Wednesday's practice. He's made some progress through the protocol but still has work to do to be cleared for Saturday night's game vs. the Ravens. QB Malik Willis (right shoulder, illness) followed a limited practice on Tuesday with no practice on Wednesday. We presume the illness kept him out today, but we'll keep tabs on his status over the next few days.

Packers RB Josh Jacobs (knee, ankle) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. That seemingly puts him on track to play vs. the Ravens on Saturday night, although we'll continue to monitor his status. Jacobs wound up carrying just 12 times on 28 snaps in last week's loss to the Bears, playing very sparingly in the second half. There's certainly a risk that he's limited again against Baltimore.
