Three Players On PUP, One To Injured Reserve
Aug 31st
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 [...]
Packers Add Linebacker, Josh Bell To IR
Aug 10th
The Green Bay Packers did indeed add a linebacker to the mix today, but not anyone of note. The Packers were forced to make a move after Clay Matthews went down with a hamstring injury on Saturday. Only six of the 11 linebackers on the roster practiced yesterday. Matthews is expected to be out at [...]
Injuries Starting To Take A Toll On Packers
Aug 10th
It’s better to have to deal with injuries the second week of training camp than it is to deal with injuries during the regular season, but the Green Bay Packers appear to have reached a critical mass. Coach Mike McCarthy had to call practice early on Monday because the Packers have so many injuries. They [...]
Bigby, Harris And Starks Fail Physicals
Jul 30th
Green Bay Packers safety Atari Bigby, cornerback Al Harris and running back James Starks failed their physicals on Friday and will start training camp on the physically unable to perform list. Harris, who is recovering from a devastating knee injury, was expected to start training camp on the PUP list. Bigby, and to a lesser [...]
Boldin Still Questionable; Likely A Game-time Decision
Jan 9th
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Anquan Boldin is still questionable for Sunday’s wild-game game against the Green Bay Packers with a high ankle sprain and will likely be a game-time decision. Boldin, who is also treating a sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee, has been getting treatment virtually around the clock. He’s caught 84 [...]
Harris, Kampman Done For the Year
Nov 23rd
As we mentioned yesterday, the Green Bay Packers win over the San Francisco 49ers likely came at a cost. The cost is, unfortunately, higher than anyone had planned for, as both outside linebacker Aaron Kampman and cornerback Al Harris will be lost for the season with torn ACLs. While the Packers will be down two [...]
Packers Getting Healthy, Stronger
Nov 17th
The Green Bay Packers will enter this week’s game with the San Francisco 49ers the healthiest they’ve been since early in the season. The team was buoyed this past week by the return of receiver Jordy Nelson, who had been out since week four. Expected to return from injury this week are linebackers Aaron Kampman [...]
A Glimpse Of The Future? Brad Jones Will Start Against Cowboys
Nov 14th
In a test of the Green Bay Packers’ depth at linebacker, rookie outside linebacker Brad Jones will not only see the first significant action of his career, but will notch his first start as a pro against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Regular starter Aaron Kampman will be held out of the game due to [...]
Packers Tried to Bring In Aaron Stecker
Oct 26th
I have it from a reliable source that the Green Bay Packers tried to bring in former Ashwaubenon star Aaron Stecker for a tryout today. Unfortunately, the Packers didn’t get a chance to take a look at the former Tampa Bay and New Orleans running back/kick returner, as he had already signed with the Atlanta [...]
Packers Need A Pass Catcher
Oct 26th
The Green Bay Packers are looking for a pass catcher following Monday’s news that receiver Brett Swain will have season-ending knee surgery and tight end Jermichael Finley will miss the Minnesota Vikings game with a knee sprain. With receiver Jordy Nelson out a couple more weeks with a knee sprain, that leaves the Packers with [...]
Blackmon Done for Year, Nelson to Return Kicks
Oct 7th
It should come as no surprise to anyone who saw the play during Monday night’s Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings game that Will Blackmon is out for the year. Blackmon tore his ACL on a second-quarter kickoff return and will be placed on injured reserve. Jordy Nelson will fill in for Blackmon on kick returns, [...]

Sep 29th
That’s right, it’s Tuesday, and you know what that means at Total Packers – tackle-related news day! Yes, it’s that exciting day when we discuss what’s going on with the Green Bay Packers’ right and left tackle positions, and boy, have we got some humdingers for you this week! First, to left tackle where the [...]
Has Favre Put the Packers On the Hot Seat?
Sep 25th
Sometimes, well… most of the time, no… all of the time, we wish Brett Favre would just keep his piehole shut. No, this has nothing to do with his aw shucks, good-ole-boy act or what he is or isn’t saying to Green Bay Packers fans. This has to do with very serious consequences the Packers [...]
Injuries Will Play Huge Roll for Packers the Next Two Weeks
Sep 24th
Each year in the NFL, the most successful teams do one of two things – they either don’t have injuries, or they overcome injuries. That’s not to say that those successful teams don’t also have other things in common – they have positive turnover margins, they limit penalties, etc. But without fail, they do one [...]
Bengals 31, Packers 24 – Observations and Opinions
Sep 21st
To quote The Jeffrey Lebwoski, the plan has crashed into the mountain. More painfully one sided than the close score suggests, yesterday’s Green Bay Packers’ 31-24 defeat to the lowly Cincinnati Bengals exposed more weaknesses and vulnerabilities for the Packers. The Packers’ offensive line play was even shakier than last week and aside from a [...]
Atari Bigby Returns, Ty Law Wants In
Oct 17th
Green Bay Packers safety Atari Bigby finally returned to the practice field Thursday, after being sidelined with a balky hamstring since the week two game against the Detroit Lions. Bigby didn’t do a hell of a lot on his first day back – going through “limited practice” – but has a chance to play this [...]
Green Bay Packers – Not Even Average
Oct 7th
There are sure signs of bad NFL football teams – things that they all have, for the most part, in common. These teams make stupid mistakes, including committing a inordinate amount of penalties. They are not disciplined. Defensively, they are bad – typically against the run, which allows their opponents to get into a comfort [...]
Cullen Jenkins Lost For The Season
Sep 30th
Green Bay Packers starting defensive end, and seemingly the only person on the Packers roster who can pressure the quarterback not named Aaron Kampman, Cullen Jenkins went on IR today. What does this mean? Well, the Packers are in a word, fucked. OK, maybe that’s jumping to conclusions a little too soon. However, the news [...]
Al Harris May Be Gone For The Year
Sep 22nd
Reports are leaking out of Green Bay declaring Al Harris’ season officially over. The Packers’ cornerback left last night’s loss to Dallas due, reportedly, to cramps. After all, as sideline reporter Andrea Kremer kept informing us, it was extremely humid in Green Bay last night. After the game it was reported that Harris was pissing [...]
