2026 Green Bay Packers

[Snow Plow]

The Green Bay Packers don’t have a lot of worth writing about again this season.

Tucker Kraft returns healthy after a torn ACL in 2024 which sidelined him into 2025 where he recorded 32 catches for 489 yards and 6 touchdowns.

Lukas Van Ness also returns after playing in just 9 games in 2025 where recorded 19 total tackles and 1.5 sacks.

Looks like the Packers, or the Blackers, will most likely be the most non-White team this year. They’ll get some competition from the Panthers, Cowboys, Browns and possibly Titans but I don’t think any of them will hit single digit Whites this year. Yuck.

Their silver lining would be Tucker Kraft continuing his ascent and chasing a thousand yard season. I’d also be satisfied to see Van Ness breakout and get into the 8-10 sack range.

This is a do-or-die year for Van Ness to live up to his draft position. So far all the articles I've read about him during training camp have been positive so fingers crossed he can stay healthy and be productive.

Jager Burton might start at guard. Only because GuntenKUNT swing a missed on Aaron Banks. 77 million and he’s barely played a down for GB.

pathetic, the DWFs will still fill up the stadium.

I’m with you! He needs 5-8 sacks this year to save his career. Even if it’s not long term being in Green Bay!
