The Green Bay Packers will go into their week one game with the Philadelphia Eagles with receiver Jordy Nelson and cornerback Tramon Williams as their primary return men after cutting safety Will Blackmon, Saturday. Nelson will return kicks and Williams will return punts. Running back Brandon Jackson will also be in the mix as a [...]

It’s all going to come down to the offer, but several teams have reportedly inquired about the availability of Green Bay Packers guard/center Jason Spitz. Spitz has started 45 games for the Packers and has done so at both guard positions and center. He remains a valuable backup for the Packers, but teams like Oakland, [...]

The Green Bay Packers fell to the Kansas City Chiefs 17-13, Thursday night in their preseason finale. The game wasn’t easy to watch. The starters played only one series and veterans Aaron Rodgers, Ryan Grant, Donald Driver, Chad Clifton and Charles Woodson were healthy scratches. There were some interesting developments in the game, however, and [...]

Several members of the Green Bay Packers could be playing to impress other teams tonight. The Packers need to trim their roster by 22 players on Saturday, but it seems increasingly likely the team could make a trade. Some of the players who could potentially be on the move include tackle Breno Giacomini, guard/center Evan [...]

Graham Harrell Unlikely To Make Final Roster

Posted in Graham Harrell | 10 comments
I was a little disappointed to read Rob Demovsky’s article earlier this week about Green Bay Packers third-string quarterback Graham Harrell. According to Demovsky, Harrell has little chance of making the Packers final roster. The team kept only two quarterbacks on their opening-day roster last season and that appears to be the way they’re leaning [...]

The Green Bay Packers reached the mandated 75-man roster limit on Tuesday by placing three players on the physically unable to perform list and one on injured reserve. Joining cornerback Al Harris on the PUP are safety Atari Bigby and running back James Starks, a sixth-round draft choice. None of the three have practiced this [...]

Green Bay Packers cornerback Al Harris will start the season on the physically unable to perform list, according to coach Mike McCarthy. The move means Harris, who hasn’t practiced this preseason while he recovers from a serious knee injury, won’t be available to the Packers for the first six weeks of the season. “Al Harris [...]

The Detroit Lions don’t do many things right. Add running out of the tunnel to that list. In the video below, everyone makes it out of the tunnel and onto the field just fine, except for Lions safety Louis Delmas. Nope, Delmas carries on the Detroit tradition of futility by running over a bunch of [...]
Chery Will Get Opportunity As Return Man

Wide receiver Jason Chery is getting an opportunity to make the Green Bay Packers as a return man. After returning a punt 75 yards for a touchdown in last week’s win over Indianapolis, Chery will return all punts and kickoffs in Thursday’s preseason finale against the Kansas City Chiefs. Will Blackmon, who was thought to [...]

Undrafted free agent cornerback Sam Shields looks like he’s just about locked up a roster spot on the Green Bay Packers. Pat Lee, a former second-round pick, looks like he’s in danger of getting cut. Shields served as the Packers nickel cornerback during Sunday’s practice. While some sources have suggested he could soon be taking [...]
Colledge Officially Named Starter

The Green Bay Packers officially named Daryn Colledge the starter at left guard for the season opener at Philadelphia, Sept. 12. Colledge had been competing with rookie Bryan Bulaga, but as we predicted on Friday, Bulaga’s inability to play because of a hip flexor ultimately cost him. Bulaga didn’t play on Thursday against Indianapolis and [...]

Earlier this week, the Pro Football Hall of Fame announced this year’s two senior nominees. They are linebackers Les Richter of the Los Angeles Rams and Chris Hanburger of the Washington Redskins. The nominees are selected by the Seniors Committee, which gives former players who may have been overlooked in the past a chance to [...]

If I were a betting man, and I am, I’d be willing to place a wager that Daryn Colledge will retain the starting spot as the Green Bay Packers left guard. Colledge is competing for the job with rookie Bryan Bulaga, but Bulaga has been out with a hip flexor and wasn’t able to play [...]

The Green Bay Packers offense is potent, we knew that, but in their longest outing of the preseason against last year’s AFC champs, they put any doubts to rest. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who I have a hard time believing isn’t on his way to becoming the best player in the NFL, cut up the Colts [...]
Undrafted Zombo Could Be The Real Deal

Frank Zombo looks like he might be the real deal. The Green Bay Packers signed Zombo as an undrafted free agent and converted him to outside linebacker after he played his college career as a defensive end at Central Michigan. He tallied 25.5 sacks as a Chippewa and has been generating some pressure for the [...]

Although there was some optimism Green Bay Packers cornerback Al Harris may return this week, that will not be the case. Harris, who is rehabilitating a torn ACL, failed his physical on Monday, putting his status for the regular season opener in jeopardy. At earliest, Harris will return next week, but with two weeks left [...]

The Green Bay Packers moved linebacker Brandon Chillar to outside linebacker earlier this preseason, but that experiment appears to be over. Chillar was competing with Brad Jones for the starting spot opposite Clay Matthews, but didn’t do anything to distinguish himself, despite getting plenty of opportunities with Matthews on the shelf. Chillar will remain a [...]
