Sports
— Nov 2, 2026
As the trade deadline approaches, speculation has linked the Packers to upgrades at receiver, edge rusher, running back and other positions, though no deals are confirmed. One projection says Green Bay may stand pat because of the cost and difficulty of midseason additions, while other commentary urges a trade for Josh Downs or considers a reunion with Josh Sweat; rookie Dani Dennis-Sutton’s progress could lessen the need for another pass rusher.

Micah Parsons

Packers star pass rusher Micah Parsons has been cleared to begin practicing as he works back from an ACL and meniscus injury, opening a 21-day window for Green Bay to activate him.
