Matthew Golden sparked Green Bay’s 20-7 preseason win by flashing quickness and savvy on two drives, hinting at a Week 1 role in light of Chicago-like 12-personnel looks with Luke Musgrave and Romeo Dobbs. Jordan Love managed the offense cleanly, while Aaron Banks’ health remains a focal point. On defense, four forced turnovers and a relentless pass rush from Lucas Van Ness, Kingsley Enagbare and Rashan Gary anchored a depth-heavy frontline led by Warren Brinson and Nazir Stackhouse. Malik Heath and Jaden Reed offered additional upside, rounding out a hopeful Packers portrait for fantasy managers.

Jordan Love's left-thumb ligament injury creates a temporary disruption for Green Bay, but the early return timeline looks promising, with Week 1 viability and possible practice reps soon after surgery. Day 14 brought updates on Christian Watson's rehab—he's ahead of schedule and could push for Week 5 involvement after an initial four-game PUP stint, a potential game-changer for the Packers' aerial attack. Marshon Lloyd dazzled in drills, pairing with Luke Musgrave to highlight a dynamic, multi-faceted offense. Defensive playmakers such as Kingsley Enagbare and Tyron Hopper kept the pressure on, while Rasheed Walker and Kamal Haden returned to practice duties. The Packers added depth with Emanuel Wilson at running back and Jaden Reed continuing to prove as a versatile playmaker, even as Reed rehabbed a foot issue. With Indianapolis looming for joint practices, the injury curve remains the focal point, but the day offered encouraging signs across positions and depth.
