Ahead of Sunday's home opener against the Detroit Lions, Packers fans are reminded that Lambeau Field will be closed to the public on Sunday, including the stadium's parking lots and all Atrium attractions including Packers Pro Shop, Packers Hall of Fame and 1919 Kitchen and Tap.
The Lambeau...
GREEN BAY – The Packers' three coordinators and defensive position coaches met with the media over the past couple of days.
Here's a summary of their key comments:
Offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett
On the jet sweep motion:
It is always good to get the yards. It puts the defense in...
Detroit's late defensive letdowns in the opener proved more costly, of course, as the Lions let a game get away to the Bears. After having allowed just six points through the first 42-plus minutes, the Lions' defense had the Bears in third-and-10 from their own 41-yard line with 2½ minutes left...
The Green Bay Packers signed T Ryan Pope and DL Billy Winn to the practice squad and released DL Daylon Mack from the practice squad. The transactions were announced Wednesday by General Manager Brian Gutekunst.
Pope (6-7, 320), a first-year player out of San Diego State, was originally signed...
Only four defensive backs in league history recorded at least 35 interceptions and 20 sacks in their careers, and Butler and Woodson are two of them. The others are Hall of Famer Brian Dawkins and Ronde Barber, a semifinalist last year.
Butler was the first player in league history to record...
"It's this generation now," Rodgers joked, a reminder he's nine years older than his go-to guy. But all kidding aside, Rodgers stressed the chemistry between the two didn't just magically materialize.
"We work at it. We communicate. We talk. We text, call, FaceTime. We're always staying...

A question from many fans: How many cans of beer can be consumed by a GBP football team during a 40-minute flight back home after a big Game 1 victory?
None. The NFL does not allow alcohol on team flights.
Dave from Huntsville, AL
Did any of the coaches talk about...
Hey Mike, The Packers managed to win both games against the Lions last year without actually having a lead at any point during playing time. Does the HC remind his guys about that stat at all this week to keep the team focused on Detroit and not look ahead to New Orleans? The Lions always put up...
THE DOPE ON THIS WEEK'S OPPONENT:
MATT LAFLEUR…In his second season as the Packers' 15th head coach.
MATT PATRICIA…In his third year as the Lions' 27th head coach.
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur is from Mount Pleasant, Mich., and played quarterback at Saginaw Valley State (2000-02)...
Matt from Hawthorne, NJ
Wow. Not sure if the 2010 adjustment was a factor at all, but Rodgers looked like his former MVP self. I realize it's only one game, but hopefully this quiets the "Rodgers is declining fast" takes I kept seeing for the past two years...thanks for the coverage on Sunday...
GREEN BAY – In the midst of the pre-draft process, Brian Gutekunst brought a name to Matt LaFleur of an intriguing prospect the Packers general manager wanted the head coach to look into as a potential fit in the offense.
Josiah Deguara, a do-it-all tight end out of Cincinnati.
"He said...
Two other things to note. Vikings S Harrison Smith (22) figures out what's coming and points to where the ball is headed. Unfortunately for him, he's not in position to do much about it, and with Holmes and Wilson already out of the play, it's up to CB Mike Hughes (21) and S Anthony Harris (41)...
Packers fans may be enjoying gamedays from home as the 2020 football season gets underway, but the Packers are introducing a new way to get a taste of Lambeau Field from afar with "Gameday To-Go."
Gameday To-Go packages will be available to order for five upcoming Packers games, starting with...
GREEN BAY – Lane Taylor's remarkable comeback season is over.
The Packers' eighth-year guard suffered a season-ending knee injury during Sunday's win over Minnesota, Head Coach Matt LaFleur confirmed Monday.
Taylor missed all but two games last season due to a biceps injury but rebounded to...
Good old-fashioned talent plays a role, too. Jenkins' all-rookie honors at left guard last season came after he finished his college career at Mississippi State as a two-year starter at center. He switched to right tackle and back to guard so seamlessly Sunday there isn't a position on the line...
Debbie from Delafield, WI
I'm a longtime reader but I've never asked a question. Great to see Davante Adams have a great start to the season. Did MVS and Allen Lazard play up to your expectations? I was very pleased myself.
It was big to see MVS bounce back from his two drops to make a big...
So it's the Packers' final scoring march of the day, covering eight plays and 75 yards in the latter half of the fourth quarter, that serves as the Chevy Drive of the Week in the 43-34 victory at U.S. Bank Stadium.
The Vikings had just closed to within 10 points, at 36-26, with 7:55 left when...
