Green Bay Packers

Edgerrin Cooper

LB

Cooper had to leave practice earlier in the week, but he appeared to be good to go again Friday. He should play an enormous role at linebacker in 2026 after racking up 118 tackles (63 solo) over 16 regular-season games last year.

Tucker Kraft

TE

Kraft is two days shy of being nine months removed from the right ACL tear that he suffered Week 9 of last season. Among his activities Friday were hitting a blocking pad, catching passes on the side and running some routes on air. Kraft relayed that before the session he convened with doctors from the University of Wisconsin, one of whom told him his knee appears "spectacular, almost like he had never seen rehabilitation like mine." During mandatory minicamp in June, Kraft stated his intention to play Week 1 at Minnesota on Sunday, Sept. 13, but first, his focus will be on increasing his activity level while he and his reps engage Green Bay brass on a potential contract extension.

Trey Smack

PK

The Packers evidently feel comfortable handing kicking duties over to Smack. The rookie sixth-round pick impressed in college at Florida but will need to prove he's capable of handling the pressure of kicking in the NFL, as well as the cold and windy conditions that arise at Lambeau Field.

Cal Adomitis

LS

Green Bay had a hole at the position due to the absence of veteran snapper Matthew Orzech (calf). Since Adomitis has extensive experience in recent seasons (49 games with the Bengals and nine more with the Eagles since 2022), he might be a real competitor to Orzech for the spot, per Huber.

Donovan Jennings

G

Jennings sat out Week 18 and the postseason last year with a throat injury, but he now seems to be back to full strength for training camp. He projects for a depth role on the interior of Green Bay's offensive line in 2026.

Jager Burton

C

It sounds like whatever Burton is dealing with is probably not a long-term concern, and Green Bay hasn't given any indication it plans to place the lineman on the PUP list. Donovan Jennings is a candidate to handle any practice reps Burton misses.

Keisean Nixon

CB

Nixon did not practice Wednesday with a hamstring issue and was held out early Thursday with a muscle pull. Despite the issues, Nixon appears to be healthy enough to continue participating without restrictions.

Kaden Prather

WR

The 2025 seventh-round pick of the Bills was cut with an injury settlement last August and eventually landed with the Louisville Kings of the UFL, for which he recorded a 9-148-0 line over nine regular-season games in what turned out to be a championship campaign for the franchise. Prather will now have a chance to work his way back onto an NFL roster, although he faces a crowded wide-receiver depth chart in Green Bay.

Jayden Reed

WR

Reed played through a fractured foot at the beginning of last season and then missed 10 games after breaking his collarbone in Week 2. He returned for the stretch run and scored a touchdown on a season-high seven targets during the playoff loss at Chicago. With Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks out of the picture, each of Reed, Christian Watson and Matthew Golden has a solid case for career-high volume this year. There is still some doubt about Reed's playing time in two-wide packages, as he's largely been confined to 11 personnel through the first three years of his NFL career.

Brant Banks

OT

Banks was placed on the PUP list Tuesday with what's now being described as a hamstring injury. He appeared in two regular-season games for the Packers in 2025 and will look to compete for a depth spot at tackle once healthy.

Nazir Stackhouse

DT

Stackhouse managed to pass his physical after having spent just two days on the PUP list. With Javon Hargrave (knee) and Jordon Riley (Achilles) both still on the PUP list, Stackhouse is currently Green Bay's top option at nose tackle.

Matt Orzech

LS

Orzech was placed on the PUP list Tuesday with what's now being described as a hamstring injury. Green Bay will need to bring in another long snapper to fill in during Orzech's absence.

Javon Hargrave

DT

Per Schneidman, whatever happened to Hargrave's knee after the end of last season is not a long-term concern. Green Bay will likely exercise patience with the offseason free agent acquisition, potentially giving 2025 sixth-rounder Warren Brinson some chances to work with the first-team defensive line.

Aaron Banks

G

Banks is eligible to practice again after passing his physical. The 28-year-old spent just two days on the PUP list and is now set to return to his role as Green Bay's starting left guard.

Chris Brooks

RB

Brooks sustained the injury after the 2025 campaign wrapped up, but its severity is still unknown at this point. In his absence, Pierre Strong and 2025 seventh-rounder Damien Martinez could get more looks out of the backfield in practice.

MarShawn Lloyd

RB

LaFleur said Lloyd won't necessarily be on a rep count, but it sounds like Green Bay will take some extra precautions with the 2024 third-round pick's workload, at least during the early stages of training camp. Wood reports that Lloyd took part in team drills on Wednesday, seemingly without any restrictions. With Chris Brooks (undisclosed) beginning camp on the active/non-football injury list, Lloyd currently has a path to work as the unquestioned No. 2 backfield option behind Josh Jacobs and build some early momentum.

Luke Musgrave

TE

Gutekunst said that Green Bay's policy is to always be cautious with neck injuries. If Musgrave is able to return to the practice field in short order, he may be able to benefit from increased reps while Tucker Kraft (ACL), who is also on the active/PUP list, progresses in his own recovery. That said, Kraft still appears to have a chance to be on the field in Week 1, potentially relegating Musgrave to his usual depth role in any case. Musgrave appears to have sustained his neck injury during OTAs in June.

Jordon Riley

DT

Riley continues to recover from a torn Achilles that he suffered in Week 17 of the 2025 regular season against the Ravens. His placement on the active/PUP list means he'll be eligible to participate in training camp practices when fully healthy. However, it's unclear whether Riley has progressed enough to return to practice or whether his absence will extend into the regular season.

Micah Parsons

DE

The team's "nine-month rule" about ACL injuries means Parsons will not see action until mid-October at the earliest. The move to the active/PUP list was expected, and Parsons will continue to work on rehabbing as Lukas Van Ness, Barryn Sorrell and rookie fourth-rounder Dani Dennis-Sutton take on more of the load off the edge at the beginning of the 2026 regular season.

Thomas Yassmin

TE

The Australian from the University of Utah joined the NFL through the International Player Pathway program. He spent time with the Broncos as an undrafted free agent in 2024 before joining the Chargers' practice squad in 2025. Yassmin has yet to appear in an NFL game, and advancement up the Packers' depth chart will be hard to come by due to the team's stellar tight end depth between Tucker Kraft (knee), Luke Musgrave (undisclosed) and Josh Whyle.

Kamal Hadden

CB

The cornerback suffered a broken right tibia and fibula in a Week 17 clash with the Ravens last year, and he needed at least "a four- or five-month recovery" as of January, per Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Hadden clearly still needs at least a little more time as training camp begins. If he's able to return during camp, he should be able to compete for a spot as a depth corner and special teamer.

Zach Tom

OT

As expected, Tom appears to be entering training camp healthy after undergoing surgery to address a partially-torn patellar tendon during the offseason. He should resume his role as Green Bay's starting right tackle in 2026 as long as he's available.

Devonte Wyatt

DT

Wyatt suffered a season-ending ankle fracture back in Week 13 of the 2025 season, but he now appears to be healthy again with the 2026 campaign around the corner. He projects to play a major role on the defensive line alongside Karl Brooks and veteran free-agent acquisition Javon Hargrave (undisclosed) during the upcoming season.

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.

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.
