GREEN BAY PACKERS

The Packers rebounded from a 9-8 playoff berth in 2023 to an 11-6 record in 2024, but slipped to 9-7-1 in 2025 and lost in the Wild Card round. Jordan Love's improved efficiency in 2025—3,381 yards, 23 touchdowns and just 6 interceptions—kept his cards relevant despite the team's step back. Key injuries to tight end Tucker Kraft (torn ACL) and defensive end Micah Parsons (torn ACL) late in 2025 disrupted the season, while Josh Jacobs led the ground game with 929 rushing yards and Romeo Doubs paced receivers with 724 yards, shaping collector focus heading into the offseason.

Where they stand: The 2026 season marks the Packers' eighth year under head coach Matt LaFleur as they attempt to improve on their 9-7-1 record and end a four-year NFC North title drought. Training camp began in late July with public practices through early August, and the team opens preseason play on August 13 at Pittsburgh. Tucker Kraft is expected to be ready for Week 1 after ACL surgery, with the team optimistic about his recovery at the eight-and-a-half-month mark, while the roster features a young core looking to bounce back from consecutive first-round playoff exits.
