Packers Camp — Sep 3: Lloyd Is the Starter, Six Carries In
Four days after Josh Jacobs went to the exempt list, the backfield is formally MarShawn Lloyd's — six career carries — with Chris Brooks on third down, Kaleb Johnson four days into the playbook and Pierre Strong Jr. parked on the practice squad. Green Bay claimed nobody on waivers, lost Nazir Stackhouse to Tennessee, and rebuilt the practice squad from its own camp roster plus a quarterback and a kicker.

Packers Camp — Aug 31: Jacobs to the Commissioner's Exempt List
The NFL placed Josh Jacobs on the Commissioner's Exempt List on cut day — paid, unable to practice or play, for an indefinite period — and the same day Green Bay sent a 2028 sixth-round pick to the Steelers for running back Kaleb Johnson. The rest of the 53 brought a settled kicking job, five corners, a traded preseason-star quarterback, and formal four-game minimums for Micah Parsons and Luke Musgrave.

Packers Camp — Aug 23: Smack Is Seven for Seven
Rookie kicker Trey Smack went four for four in Denver — from 59, 51, 43 and 38 — and is now seven for seven on the preseason, while Jordan Love's lone series ended in MarShawn Lloyd's first NFL touchdown and Javon Hargrave finally took team-drill reps. The other side of the 33-13 win: the starting defense's opening drive drew a blunt review from LaFleur — "pressure was non-existent."

Green Bay Packers Camp Update — August 16: Two Sacks in a Series, Still Without Parsons
Gannon's first unit, still without Parsons, forced a three-and-out with two sacks and held the run all night — the encouraging half of a 28-9 loss in Pittsburgh that reads backwards, because the depth coverage gave up 333 passing yards. Golden and Reed are back, Trey Smack hit two 58-yarders, and Hargrave still hasn't taken a team-drill rep.

Green Bay Packers Camp Update — August 9: Javon Hargrave Came Off PUP Today
The interior signing meant to bridge Micah Parsons' absence opened camp on PUP next to him — and came off it this afternoon, saying he'd play tomorrow if there were a game. Meanwhile Gannon's install keeps winning practice days, and Sunday's injury list added both of Jordan Love's hottest camp receivers.

Green Bay Packers 2026 Season Preview — The Collapse Has a Timestamp
Green Bay was 9-and-3-and-1 with the league's best clean-pocket quarterback, then lost every game after December 14 — the offense's case for 2026 is airtight, and the defense's case is a brand-new coordinator and a September without Micah Parsons.

Minnesota scored twenty-two of its thirty-nine points on possessions Green Bay handed over.
