If, as expected, Green Bay sits its starters on Sunday, the coaching staff should use the de facto exhibition as an opportunity to experiment with certain players. For @theleap.bsky.social: If the Packers rest starters in Week 18, they can at least get weird.

On Saturday, Malik Willis delivered the best game of his career to date. But for as impressive as he played, his outlook for 2026 remains largely unchanged. For @theleap.bsky.social: Putting Willis' performance against the Ravens in context

No matter how things break, the Packers face an uphill battle to reach Super Bowl LX. Still, some playoff scenarios offer more challenges than others. For @theleap.bsky.social: These are Green Bay's best paths to the Super Bowl (and they're not easy).

The Packers would probably benefit from a new special-teams coordinator. However, the organization imposes restrictions on itself that make such changes more complicated. For @theleap.bsky.social: Green Bay's special-teams problems are bigger than Rich Bisaccia.

I wrote for @theleap.bsky.social about Collin Oliver's outlook in 2025 and beyond 👇 www.theleap.football/p/what-can-p...

It sounds like the Packers will start Jordan Morgan, not Darian Kinnard, at right tackle in place of the inactive Zach Tom. Readers of @theleap.bsky.social already expected this. www.theleap.football/p/packers-in...

The Packers have a lot on the line over the next three games. For some of their assistant coaches, the upcoming weeks will hold additional significance. For @theleap.bsky.social: What we're hearing about Green Bay's assistants and the 2026 hiring cycle

The Packers' injury reports have resembled CVS receipts for much of the 2025 season, but this week presents a heightened challenge on the health front. For @theleap.bsky.social: Green Bay's injuries require the coaching staff to find creative solutions.

The Packers lost more than just a game in Denver. Now, their entire season hangs by a thread. For @theleap.bsky.social: What's left for Green Bay after Micah Parsons' season-altering injury? https://www.theleap.football/p/whats-left-for-the-packers-after

Less than a year after tearing an ACL, Christian Watson has emerged as the best version of himself to date and rewarded the Packers handsomely in the process. For @theleap.bsky.social: This is the Christian Watson that Green Bay has waited for.

The Broncos defense, particularly their pass rush, is the toughest test the Packers will have faced since the Browns game. Why it can be different this time around. www.theleap.football/p/a-revamped...

Reasonable minds can differ about the NFC's best team. But with little separating those at the top of the conference, the Packers should feel good about their chances against anyone. For @theleap.bsky.social: Green Bay has no one left to fear in the NFC.

The Packers have officially activated Jayden Reed from IR. He'll make his return against the Bears tomorrow.

The Packers have designated several players to come off either IR or the PUP list. Some could contribute as soon as this Sunday. Others might not see action this season. For @theleap.bsky.social: What can Green Bay expect from the players pushing to return?

The Bears are the No. 1 turnover team in the NFL by a mile. They create a bunch and don't give the ball away. That can't cause Matt LaFleur to call a game scared of turning it over. I wrote about it today for @theleap.bsky.social www.theleap.football/p/matt-lafle...

The Packers defense will again have to play without Devonte Wyatt. The plan for filling his void along the interior will look different this time, however. I wrote for @theleap.bsky.social about what that plan will involve and, just as importantly, what it won't.

The #Packers will have their hands full dealing with the #Bears run game. Their secret weapon isn't a 320-pound defensive tackle. It's a 200-pound defensive back with the bourbon name who is becoming a star. www.theleap.football/p/evan-willi...

The Packers opened MarShawn Lloyd's practice window, but several hurdles remain for the second-year running back. I wrote about him in today's edition of @theleap.bsky.social.

The Packers can retake the lead in the NFC North and perhaps even gain the inside track for the No. 1 seed in Week 14, but several matters linger over the team as Sunday approaches. For @theleap.bsky.social: questions for the final stretch of the regular season

This week, I wrote for @theleap.bsky.social that the Packers could deliver the knockout blow to the Lions' hopes of repeating as NFC North champs. Blow delivered.

Thanksgiving won't determine whether the Lions reach the playoffs, but their hopes of repeating as division champs will land on life support with a loss to the Packers. For @theleap.bsky.social: Green Bay can deliver the knockout blow to Detroit.

Rashan Gary's production in 2025 might look decent on the surface. However, a closer examination reveals some cause for alarm. For @theleap.bsky.social: It's time for the Rashan Gary conversation. https://www.theleap.football/p/its-time-for-the-rashan-gary-conversation

The Packers got back in the win column and made meaningful progress in some areas. However, Sunday's tilt didn't quite represent a get-right game. For @theleap.bsky.social: What questions did Green Bay answer and which ones remain open entering Week 12?

Yes, Carrington Valentine should have caught at least one of the two passes that Jameis Winston threw to him. It's not surprising, however. It's part of the reason he was available for the Packers in the seventh round two years ago. www.theleap.football/p/how-did-ca...

After scoring 20 combined points over the past two weeks, the Packers offense requires some meaningful adjustments to get on track. Even on a short week, these changes could happen. For @theleap.bsky.social: What changes might help Green Bay pull out of its funk?

Matt LaFleur's game plan for the Eagles didn't work. More damningly, he didn't seem interested in shifting tactics, dooming the Packers to their second straight loss. For @theleap.bsky.social: Green Bay can't be taken seriously until LaFleur gets serious.

Asante Samuel Jr. has completed his visit with the Vikings, according to the transaction wire. I wrote for @theleap.bsky.social about Samuel's Thursday visit with the Packers, his free-agent tour in general, and what he might offer Green Bay.

The Packers hosted Asante Samuel Jr. for a visit on Thursday, but the free-agent corner plans to take more meetings before signing a deal. For @theleap.bsky.social: What we know about Samuel's situation and how much he would move the needle for Green Bay

The Packers didn't make a move in the hours before the NFL trade deadline, but Tuesday still played out well for them in many respects. For @theleap.bsky.social: Despite inactivity, Green Bay still benefited from the trade deadline. https://www.theleap.football/p/despite-inactivity-packers-still

No, the Packers' head coach isn't on the hot seat. But his win percentage and play designs can't paper over game-management mistakes like the ones he made against the Panthers. For @theleap.bsky.social: It's time for the Matt LaFleur conversation.

Tucker Kraft's emergence as a superstar doesn't just change the way the rest of the NFL views him. It also compels Green Bay to reconsider his role in the offense. For @theleap.bsky.social: Kraft has forced the Packers to rethink their offensive priorities.

The Packers thought Nate Hobbs would help the secondary replace Jaire Alexander. But seven games into the season, they still don't seem to know what they want to do with their corners. For @theleap.bsky.social: What's really going on with Green Bay's cornerbacks?

Jordan Love put together a statistical game we've never seen from Aaron Rodgers ... in FRONT of Aaron Rodgers. On Love's huge night, the Tucker Kraft-ification of the Packers offense and more. www.theleap.football/p/protege-be...

The NFL trade deadline arrives in less than two weeks. The Packers haven't historically played an active role during this period. However, they've bucked other trends this year. For @theleap.bsky.social: Green Bay has options ahead of the trade deadline.

The Packers don't yet know whether Devonte Wyatt can play this weekend, but they do know how critical he is to the defense. I wrote for @theleap.bsky.social about Wyatt's importance to Green Bay's title hopes 👇 www.theleap.football/p/packers-di...

Devonte Wyatt stepped into a featured role on the Green Bay defense in 2025. Since a knee injury sidelined him, his importance has only grown more apparent. For @theleap.bsky.social: The Packers are discovering just how important Wyatt is to their defense.

Former Packers head coach Mike Holmgren is among the 12 coaches to advance to the next stage of the 2026 Pro Football Hall of Fame selection process. Bill Belichick is also among these coaches, and only one finalist will be selected from the group next month.

On Sunday, the Packers once again played down to the level of their competition. However, their superstar pass rusher made sure it didn't cost them a win. For @theleap.bsky.social: the Micah Parsons effect https://www.theleap.football/p/the-micah-parsons-effect

Matt LaFleur says he doesn't plan to force-feed targets to one receiver. He probably won't … until he has no other choice. For @theleap.bsky.social: The Packers' passing game will remain egalitarian until someone forces their hand.

The Packers still have plenty of wrinkles to iron out, but their passing game showed signs of reclaiming its deep-shot identity against the Bengals. For @theleap.bsky.social: Green Bay's offense took a necessary step during an imperfect Week 6 performance.

Last week, @byjbh.bsky.social asked two key questions that the #Packers answered (In good and bad ways) on Sunday against the Bengals. I dove into those and more in today's FREE Monday @theleap.bsky.social www.theleap.football/p/jordan-lov...

In just a few minutes, I'm jumping on @thefanmilwaukee.bsky.social to discuss the latest Packers news and developments. Check it out here 👇 www.audacy.com/thefanmilwau...

The Bengals correctly determined that they couldn't continue with Jake Browning as their starting QB. Whether Joe Flacco fixes the problem is another matter, however. For @theleap.bsky.social: How Flacco affects Sunday's Bengals-Packers game

Bengals HC Zac Taylor confirms that Joe Flacco will start Sunday against the Packers. I wrote for @theleap.bsky.social about how Flacco's arrival affects the game 👇

The Packers have plenty of questions to answer coming out of the bye, but not all of the important matters have garnered sufficient attention. For @theleap.bsky.social: Post-bye questions that Green Bay needs to answer (besides the obvious ones)

Earlier today, I talked with Ric Serritella on All Access Football about the state of the Packers. Check out that conversation here 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=yq1h...

Back in July, @peterbukowski.bsky.social and I ranked the most important non-QBs on Green Bay's roster. A month into the season, what have we learned about the hierarchy of those players? For @theleap.bsky.social: Re-evaluating our offseason priors about the 2025 Packers

On Sunday, the Packers couldn't deliver the knockout punch against a depleted opponent. They have several problems, and the bye week can't fix all of them. For @theleap.bsky.social: Green Bay avoided a loss in Dallas, but the team can't survive like this.

The Packers tweaked the offense this offseason. While the unit has performed well in two of three games, perhaps the adjustments have gone too far. For @theleap.bsky.social: The Green Bay offense has moved away from its roots. https://www.theleap.football/p/the-packers-offense-has-moved-away

The Packers dropped a game few expected them to lose. In the wake of the defeat, some parts of the performance seem like flukes while others look like long-term concerns. For @theleap.bsky.social: Fluke or f*cked? Unpacking Green Bay's surprising loss in Cleveland
