Green Bay Packers

Josh Whyle

TE

Whyle wasn't able to make Tennessee's season-opening roster last year and subsequently joined Green Bay's practice squad. He was eventually signed to the active roster after Tucker Kraft (knee) was lost for the season but didn't make much of an impact on offense, catching just five passes on six targets for 36 yards and a touchdown. Kraft recently stated that he expects to be ready for Week 1, and Luke Musgrave (undisclosed) is likely to take the No. 2 tight-end job, but Whyle currently appears to have a good chance of making the roster as the No. 3 tight end. That wouldn't necessarily portend fantasy-relevant production, though it would put him in line for meaningful snaps if Kraft and/or Musgrave needed to miss time.

Jordan Love

QB

Love mentioned WRs Christian Watson, Jayden Reed and Matthew Golden, adding that the pass-catching group will be back to full strength once TE Tucker Kraft (knee) is healthy. The Packers didn't do much to replace offseason losses, but they'll still have a strong core on both sides of the ball if Kraft and OLB Micah Parsons come back from ACL tears and perform at a high level. Love, meanwhile, seems to be healthy and staying busy this summer, working with his longtime private QB coach, Steve Calhoun, after the Packers wrapped up their offseason program in mid-June.

Luke Lachey

TE

Lachey was drafted in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft by Houston and spent all of last season on the Texans' practice squad. The Packers plucked him off waivers in mid-May but subsequently waived him with a failed physical. Lachey appears to be past whatever was ailing him given his reunion with Green Bay. He'll compete for a depth role in the team's TE corps, though it wouldn't be surprising if he begins the campaign on the practice squad.

Luke Musgrave

TE

Head coach Matt LaFleur wouldn't disclose Musgrave's injury, but the tight end was spotted on a treadmill in the rehab area during Wednesday's practice. Despite Tucker Kraft (knee) missing Green Bay's final nine regular-season games in 2025, Musgrave remained a minimal part of the offense, catching just 24 of 31 targets for 252 yards. Once he returns to full health, he'll likely battle for one of the Packers' reserve TE spots.

Isaiah McDuffie

LB

McDuffie inked a two-year, $8.0 million contract extension in March 2025, so this new deal will tie him to Green Bay through the 2027 campaign. The soon-to-be 27-year-old has been an important rotational linebacker and core special-teams player over his first five seasons, and he tallied 92 tackles, including 1.0 sacks, across 17 regular-season games last year. McDuffie should slot in behind returning starter Edgerrin Cooper and new addition Zaire Franklin at inside linebacker for Green Bay this year.
