Green Bay Packers' draft strategy has come under scrutiny for prioritizing athletic traits over actual production, particularly among edge rushers. However, recent findings reveal that while athleticism is important, the Packers maintain clear statistical benchmarks in assessing their prospects. Sacks aren't the only focus; college pressure numbers play a significant role in their selection process.

Since 2016, the Packers have chosen eight edge rushers, most of whom boasted notable pressure statistics. Lukas Van Ness, for example, achieved 74 pressures in his last two college seasons. This pattern suggests that the Packers tend to favor players who consistently disrupt the quarterback, even if their sack numbers are modest. In the upcoming draft, however, many prospects are falling short of the Packers' performance criteria, raising questions about their first-round strategy.

Josh Jacobs, the Green Bay Packers' running back, has been cleared from the injury report and is set to play in the upcoming Thursday night game. Other players, including Kenny Clark and John FitzPatrick, are also expected to participate.

Jacobs is anticipated to receive a significant workload, making him a strong option for fantasy lineups. Meanwhile, the Packers are managing injuries across their roster as they prepare for their next matchup.

In a significant blow to the San Francisco 49ers, left tackle Trent Williams will miss Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers due to an ankle injury, forcing Jaylon Moore to step in as the starter. This matchup marks the first start for quarterback Brandon Allen since the 2021 season, as Brock Purdy is sidelined with a shoulder issue.

Additionally, the 49ers will be without key players including Nick Bosa and Charvarius Ward, while the Packers are also dealing with injuries to Jaire Alexander and Edgerrin Cooper.

The NFL regular season is approaching its conclusion, with Week 12 highlighting injury concerns across all teams. As playoff races intensify, health reports are critical for teams as they navigate the homestretch.

Key players are sidelined or limited, including Alex Highsmith for the Pittsburgh Steelers and Miles Sanders for the Carolina Panthers. The Kansas City Chiefs anticipate the return of Isiah Pacheco, while the Dallas Cowboys face multiple injury challenges.

Green Bay Packers rookie running back MarShawn Lloyd's comeback from injured reserve is delayed due to appendicitis. Coach Matt LaFleur confirmed that Lloyd experienced abdominal pain, prompting a medical evaluation that confirmed the diagnosis.

Having been on injured reserve since mid-September due to an ankle injury, Lloyd had only participated in one game this season. Despite this setback, LaFleur remains optimistic about Lloyd's recovery.
