The Green Bay Packers signed former Arizona Cardinals quarterback
Clayton Tune to their practice squad on Thursday, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Tune became available to all NFL teams when the Cardinals cut him earlier this week. The 26-year-old will now head to the NFC North, where he'll serve as QB depth for the Packers behind starter
Jordan Love and backup
Malik Willis. In three preseason games for the Cardinals before being cut, Tune went 30-for-49 passing for 186 yards, one touchdown and an interception while rushing nine times for 53 yards. The former fifth-rounder (139th overall) in 2023 out of Houston has thrown for just 70 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions in 13 games (one start) in his first two NFL seasons.

The Green Bay Packers are acquiring All-Pro pass-rusher Micah Parsons from the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday and have agreed to a four-year, $188 million contract extension with him, including $136 million guaranteed, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. It's unclear at this time what the Cowboys received in return, but it includes two first-rounders. At $47 million per year, Parsons becomes the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history. The Packers were already contenders before this trade, but the addition of Parsons really makes them formiddable for a deep playoff run out of the NFC North. The 26-year-old dealt with a minor back injury during training camp with Dallas, but it's not expected to impact his availability for Week 1 against the division-rival Detroit Lions. Parsons has 52.5 sacks in his four NFL seasons and will be a highly sought-after IDP fantasy asset.

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver
Matthew Golden could be in store for an increase in opportunities in the Green Bay passing attack. According to Jason Wilde, Packers wide receiver
Jayden Reed (foot) is dealing with a Jones fracture in his left foot. While this injury is quite common in athletics, it often requires surgery. However, Reed is opting to play through it and plans to be ready for the season opener. However, Reed could be given a strict snaps count to improve his health and could even be at high risk of suffering a setback. If this occurs, Golden could be given ample opportunities, operating as the clear WR1 in the offense. The Packers selected Golden in the first round of April's draft out of Texas. During his final season in college, he totaled a career-best 987 with an SEC-leading nine touchdowns. Given his potential opportunities, Golden is worth viewing as a high-end WR3 in all formats.

According to Jason Wilde, Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Jayden Reed (foot) has been diagnosed with a Jones fracture. While this type of fracture is common in athletics, it typically requires surgery. However, the Packers wideout has "no interest" in this extended timeline and plans to play through the injury. Reed noted that he has been focusing on resting his foot to ensure he is ready for their season opener against the Detroit Lions. Throughout August, the wide receiver has been seen wearing a boot on his left foot. While he has recently returned to practice, fantasy managers should expect the 25-year-old's workload to be closely monitored. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor this situation closely in case of a setback. If he were to miss time, rookie
Matthew Golden and tight end
Tucker Kraft would likely see the most significant increase in targets.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Dontayvion Wicks (calf) returned to practice on Wednesday, per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Wicks missed a good chunk of August with a calf injury, but it appears he has a chance to be ready for Week 1. The third-year wide receiver could slot in alongside
Matthew Golden and
Romeo Doubs as Green Bay's WR3 early in the season, with
Jayden Reed (foot) questionable for Week 1 with a foot injury. Wicks is a talented player, but he struggled with drops and inconsistency in 2024, hauling in just 39 of his 76 targets. Wicks has some upside as a late-round dart-throw in deep leagues, but he would likely need multiple injuries in the Packers' wide receiver room to really take off in 2025.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that quarterback
Jordan Love (thumb) would be a full participant in practice on Monday. Love had surgery to fix a ligament in his left (non-throwing) thumb after the first preseason game and was held out of the final two preseason contests as a result. The 26-year-old is back to a full participant in practice now, though, which should leave no doubts about his availability for the Week 1 regular-season opener on Sunday, Sept. 7, against the division-rival Detroit Lions. The former first-rounder will be looking to bounce back after regressing slightly in his fourth season in 2024 with 3,389 passing yards, 25 touchdowns and 11 interceptions in 15 starts. Love and the rest of the offense will need better injury luck to do that, but their receiving corps isn't off to a good start. Fantasy managers should consider Love to be a midrange QB2 with upside.

The Green Bay Packers officially placed wide receiver
Christian Watson (knee) on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list on Tuesday, according to Packers.com writer Wes Hodkiewicz. This was always the expectation for Watson after he tore the ACL in his right knee in the Week 18 regular-season finale late last year, and now it's official. The move means that the 26-year-old will miss at least the first four games of the 2025 campaign despite the fact that he was getting glowing reviews during his rehab during training camp this summer. His first chance to make his season debut will come in Week 6 on Oct. 12 against the Cincinnati Bengals -- the Packers have a bye in Week 5. Green Bay is probably going to ease Watson back when he's ready, so fantasy managers in 12-team leagues can probably stay away for now, especially given the crowded nature of the team's receiving room.

According to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the Green Bay Packers are leaning toward placing running back
MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) on the injured reserve. While the move has not been officially announced yet, this would give the second-year running back additional time to recover and put him in a position to make his season debut in Week 5. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor her status in case he faces a further setback. The former third-round pick dealt with injuries throughout his rookie season and was only able to appear in one contest. During this brief taste of NFL action, Lloyd took six carries for 15 yards. If Lloyd were to miss the opening of the season, fantasy managers should expect
Emanuel Wilson to slot in as the No. 2 option on the depth chart.

The Green Bay Packers are releasing wide receiver
Mecole Hardman on Tuesday, sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. Despite the Packers dealing with multiple injuries to their receiving corps in training camp, the Packers will move on from Hardman, who was looking to secure a depth role with the Packers after spending the first six years of his NFL career with the Kansas City Chiefs. In his six NFL seasons, the 27-year-old pass-catcher has caught 178 of hi 258 targets for 2,302 yards and 16 touchdowns in 80 regular-season games (28 starts). Hardman also has plenty of special-teams experience and should be able to find work with another team for his versatility and speed during the 2025 season. Last year in 12 regular-season games (no starts) with KC, Hardman caught just 12 passe for 90 yards and no scores.

The Green Bay Packers have acquired offensive tackle Darian Kinnard from the Philadelphia Eagles for a 2027 sixth-round pick, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. The Eagles are parting with Kinnard after acquiring offensive tackle Fred Johnson from the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. Kinnard entered the NFL as a fifth-round pick of the Kansas City Chiefs in 2022 and has since appeared in just three regular-season games - one with the Chiefs in his rookie campaign and two with the Eagles last year. Amazingly, Kinnard has been a part of three straight Super Bowl-winning teams since he came into the league. The 25-year-old will go for four in a row as a member of the Packers while providing depth behind starters Rasheed Walker and Zach Tom.

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver
Savion Williams (hamstring) was one of 19 Packers players to miss the team's preseason finale due to injury. The 6'5" 225-pound third-round pick out of TCU missed time earlier in camp due to a concussion, and he could not participate in any of the team's preseason games. With his inability to stay on the field, there are concerns that his impact could be limited, especially early in the season. The Packers have been without three of their top receivers --
Jayden Reed (foot),
Dontayvion Wicks (calf),
Christian Watson (knee) -- for much of camp, so the opportunity has been there to carve out a role in Matt Lafleur's offense. Unfortunately, Williams has been unable to seize that opportunity, and as such, should remain an afterthought in most draft formats.

Green Bay Packers running back
Chris Brooks was the second back to enter the game for the Packers in their 20-7 victory over the Seattle Seahawks in their third and final preseason game. Brooks took over duties after
Josh Jacobs received the first two snaps of the game. Playing seven snaps of his own, Brooks exited and gave way to
Emanuel Wilson. In Brooks' seven snaps across the last play of the first drive and the first six plays of the next drive, Brooks took four carries for 15 yards. With the injury to
MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) putting his Week 1 status in doubt, Brooks' entrance into the game ahead of Wilson seems to put Brooks as the preferred contingent play in Week 1 should Lloyd not be healthy. That said, Brooks should only be drafted in the deepest of leagues as a pure handcuff option.

Green Bay Packers running back
Emanuel Wilson led the Packers in rushing yards in their final preseason game, a 20-7 win over the Seattle Seahawks. Wilson came into the game after
Chris Brooks left in the middle of the Packers' second drive. Playing primarily at the end of the first quarter and almost halfway into the second quarter. Leading the team in rushing yards with 38 and tying for the most carries (8) on the day, Wilson is third in the pecking order for running back touches behind
Josh Jacobs and Brooks. Wilson is very likely to break camp with the Packers if
MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) isn't healthy, but Wilson shouldn't be drafted in fantasy leagues unless more injuries strike the running back room in Green Bay.
