Notre Dame will wear a Packers-inspired uniform for its Week 1 game against Wisconsin at Lambeau Field, marking the Irish’s first trip to Green Bay. The kit uses a blue shade echoing the 1920s Acme Packers with sleeve stripes and includes eleven shamrocks on the collar to honor ND’s national championships, highlighting a historic cross‑brand nod between the programs.
Recent multi-year tight end deals in the $16–$18 million per year range are creating a new floor for the market, likely boosting futures for Packers tight end Tucker Kraft after his 2025 ACL injury. Green Bay tends to four-year deals with modest guarantees, so Kraft’s extension could feature a high annual value over four years with lower guarantees, with timing potentially influenced by how Sam LaPorta’s deal sets the ceiling.
The Green Bay Packers push back at Rep. Scott Fitzgerald’s dismissal of concerns over changes to the 1961 Sports Broadcasting Act, arguing reforms could jeopardize the league’s shared TV revenue that helps small‑market teams compete, as DOJ/FCC probes into the SBA intensify and Sen. Baldwin advances a bill to expand home‑market TV access amid more games shifting to streaming.
The Green Bay Packers reached a four-year, $110.5 million extension with wide receiver Christian Watson, including a $31 million signing bonus, after he returned from a torn ACL to post 35 receptions for 611 yards and six touchdowns in 10 games last season; in four seasons he has 133 catches, 2,264 yards and 20 TDs in 48 games, and he’ll join Jayden Reed and Matthew Golden in Green Bay’s receiving corps.
The Green Bay Packers signed Christian Watson to a four-year, $110.5 million extension with a $31 million signing bonus, tying him to the club through the 2030 season as the team reshapes its receiving corps with Jayden Reed and Matthew Golden while losing Romeo Doubs. Watson, a big-play threat who has averaged 17.0 yards per catch in his first four seasons, carries health risk due to recurring injuries but could be a game-changing asset if he stays healthy. The deal comes amid about $28.5 million in cap space, signaling a high-upside investment in a revamped offense around Watson and his teammates, including Tucker Kraft returning from ACL rehab.
Packers edge rusher Micah Parsons is following a strict nine-month ACL rehab (plus a meniscus procedure), saying he won't rush back and aims to be healthy for the stretch run, with a possible late-season return rather than an early comeback.
The Green Bay Packers have agreed to a four-year extension with wide receiver Christian Watson, reportedly worth $110.5 million with a $31 million signing bonus. A 2022 second-round pick, Watson has been productive when healthy but has dealt with injuries, posting 35 receptions for 611 yards and six touchdowns in 2025 and contributing in the postseason as well.
Green Bay edge rusher Micah Parsons marks five months since knee surgery and is adhering to the NFL’s nine‑month rule, suggesting a late‑September return at best and a likely absence for early games as he focuses on longevity and a playoff push; he’s also adapting to a new defensive system and leaning on teammates while navigating tough days in rehab.
Packers edge rusher Micah Parsons will miss the start of the season after a December ACL tear and a meniscus cleanup, following a strict nine-month recovery; the earliest return is October, with Week 4–7 scenarios possible, and he’s expected to begin camp on the physically unable to perform list while aiming for a postseason push.
Packers running back Josh Jacobs returned to full participation in practice as the Brown County District Attorney’s Office continues to investigate domestic abuse–related charges stemming from an arrest last week. No formal charges have been filed, Jacobs has denied the allegations, and teammates, including QB Jordan Love, say the team is handling the situation internally as they focus on football for the season ahead.
New dispatch audio reveals calls describing yelling and objects being thrown during an alleged domestic incident involving Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs; police tracked his vehicle after he left the Wisconsin home, and he was arrested on May 29 on charges including domestic abuse, battery, criminal damage to property, disorderly conduct, strangulation and suffocation, and intimidation of a victim. Jacobs’ lawyers deny the allegations and say the investigation is ongoing, with the Packers withholding further comment.
The Packers aren’t planning to add a running back despite Josh Jacobs’ arrest and ongoing uncertainty, preferring to evaluate in-house options like Chris Brooks, MarShawn Lloyd, Pierre Strong, Damien Martinez, and Jaden Nixon, while considering external targets (Mixon, Kamara, Conner) only if needed.
Packers coach Matt LaFleur says MarShawn Lloyd, the 2024 third-round pick who has appeared in only one NFL game, must stay healthy and consistently prove his ability across OTAs, training camp, and the preseason to justify the pick, a task that becomes more crucial if Josh Jacobs faces discipline and elevates Lloyd’s potential role.
Prosecutors canceled Josh Jacobs' scheduled Brown County court hearing to allow more time to review evidence in domestic-violence allegations; no formal charges have been filed yet as the investigation continues, Jacobs was briefly jailed and released, and prosecutors said they are not yet prepared to decide charges.
Packers running back Josh Jacobs was released from Brown County Jail after the Brown County District Attorney said more evidence was needed before filing formal charges; the investigation into an alleged weekend domestic-violence incident is ongoing and no charges have been filed yet, with a final charging decision to come later.
