Rodgers got Lazard into the Packers' rotation after spotting him with the practice squad, and their connection has followed them to the Jets.

Matt LaFleur didn’t see enough out of Jaire Alexander in practice this week to activate him for the game
Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander, who has only played 10 snaps since the end of October, isn’t ready to play, according to Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur. Despite being a full participant in the Packers’ Wednesday and Thursday practices this week, Green Bay didn’t see what they needed out of Alexander to be...
Cornerback Jaire Alexander seemed on track to play against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night, until he wasn't. On Friday, Alexander missed practice because of the knee injury he suffered more than a month ago, and head coach Matt LaFleur confirmed that he will not play for the Green Bay Packers in Week 15.
The Green Bay Packers surprisingly won't have cornerback Jaire Alexander (knee) and predictably won't have safety Javon Bullard (ankle) against the Seattle Seahawks.
Despite practicing in full Wednesday and Thursday, Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Still, most expect the team to win at least two of their final four games and end up comfortably in the playoffs.
The Green Bay Packers are sitting in fine position to make the playoffs this January. At 9-4, the Packers’ playoff odds are just shy of 100%, factoring in the records across the conference, their remaining games and those of other teams around the NFL, and their current level of performance.

The 2023 first-round pick doesn’t have a huge role on the Packers’ defense, but he’s playing better over the past month.
When Brian Gutekunst traded Preston Smth in October, he specifically mentioned playing time for young players as part of his reasoning for the move.
And the Packers have stuck with that plan, albeit in a bit of an unusual way. Smith’s departure from Green Bay has led to more snaps for Brenton Cox and Arron Mosby, but not...

Everything you need to know about the NFC North teams not located in Green Bay.
Hot off a loss to the Detroit Lions, the Green Bay Packers now take the dreaded west coast flight for another tough test against a feisty Seattle Seahawks team. While the Packers continue their march toward a playoff berth, here’s a look at what’s going on with the rest of the teams around the NFC North.

The Short Version
Week 14 is over, and for your classical power rankings, Peter has you covered somewhere on this site, but over on this side we’re trying something a little different. This is the rock ‘n roll man! Wait, I am being informed that rock is extremely passe. EDM? I don’t know, whatever passes for music these days. And we’re using our best modern synth technology to generate objective rankings. Power rankings are all about arguing about why they’re wrong, and...

Sketching up a play to score against the Seahawks
As I tend to do most weeks, I went through all the red zone touchdowns scored against the Green Bay Packers’ next opponent. I typically don’t write about it, because writing takes time and energy and I am often in short supply of at least one of those things.
This week, as I was going through those snaps, I found a little something and I thought it might be fun to draw up something for this week. But...
I somehow feel more confident in the Green Bay Packers run defense than the secondary. That is probably the wildest sentence I’ve written in an article thus far.
The Green Bay Packers travel to Seattle to take on the Seahawks in Week 15's Sunday Night Football matchup. These are two of the best teams in the NFC and are both looking to secure playoff spots.
As we enter mid-December, teams are doing everything they can to reach the postseason. With how unpredictable games are from week-to-week, betting on over-under point totals can be tricky.

The TNF result means that the Packers will need to wait at least one more week.
On Thursday night, the Los Angeles Rams defeated the San Francisco 49ers 12-6 in an ugly, sloppy game. That pulls the Rams to within a half-game of the Seattle Seahawks for the NFC West lead, and if the Green Bay Packers win on Sunday night, that would tie up that division.
But for the Packers, the only path to clinching a playoff spot this weekend required last...
The Green Bay Packers head west to face the Seattle Seahawks in a battle between two teams looking to clinch playoff berths in the NFC. The Packers are 9-4 on the season while the Seahawks are 8-5.
Green Bay Packers fans started watching Thursday Night Football because an improbable tie between the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams would make it possible for the Packers to clinch a playoff berth.

Stokes is going into the last year of his contract with Green Bay
On Thursday, Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur told the press that the rotation of cornerbacks Eric Stokes and Carrington Valentine will “stay that way.” This is interesting, as cornerback Jaire Alexander (knee) has been a full participant in practice for both practices this week.
If you’re reading between the lines here, this means that Keisean Nixon will likely kick...

Receiver Jordy Nelson ranks #1 all-time in trips to the stands
NFL Films just published a seven-minute video essay on the Lambeau Leap, narrated by Green Bay Packers super fan Tom Grossi. Their team individually charted every single Lambeau Leap in Packers history, down to which section of the stadium a player wound up in.
There are plenty of interesting tidbits in the video, including that former quarterback Brett Favre only ever attempted a single...

The team announced the ceremony will honor the team’s CEO & President during his final season
The Green Bay Packers announced this week that the team will honor President & CEO Mark Murphy with a special ceremony at halftime of the team’s December 23rd game against the New Orleans Saints.
This is Mark Murphy’s final season as he’s set to retire in July 2025, shortly after Green Bay hosts the 2025 NFL Draft which Murphy secured for the...

Despite dealing with injuries, the Jordan Love extension is turning out just fine
It’s okay to admit it. You felt a little queasy. How could you not? Despite an electrifying ten weeks of performance, it was, after all, only ten weeks. And there’s $220M, over 100 of which was fully guaranteed at signing, and a good chunk after that while not technically guaranteed, would have been really difficult to get out of.
And then we nearly had disaster...
