Green Bay Packers news, rumors and injuriesPackers | Randall Cobb struggling as runner Sat, 24 Sep 2016 19:24:01 -0700 Green Bay Packers WR Randall Cobb is averaging 3.0 yards per carry this season when used as a running back, but head coach Mike McCarthy said Cobb hasn't had enough carries to make a judgement on the effectiveness of the package. Fantasy Tip: The Green Bay offense continues to lack explosive plays in all areas, and Cobb's value is suffering as a result. Consider him a WR3 against the Detroit Lions in Week 3. Comment () | Share: Packers | Two Packers downgraded Sat, 24 Sep 2016 14:05:08 -0700 Green Bay Packers DT Letroy Guion (knee) and DE Datone Jones (knee) have been downgraded to doubtful for the team's Week 3 game.

Comment () | Share: Sat, 24 Sep 2016 06:11:30 -0700 Green Bay Packers DL Mike Daniels has been fined $18,231 by the NFL for roughing the passer during Week 2's game against the Minnesota Vikings. Comment () | Share: Packers | Friday injury report for Green Bay Fri, 23 Sep 2016 14:28:08 -0700 Green Bay Packers CB Sam Shields (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 3. SS Morgan Burnett (groin), DT Letroy Guion (knee), DE Datone Jones (knee), OG T.J. Lang (hip) and LB Clay Matthews (ankle, hamstring) are listed as questionable. Shields, Matthews, Jones, Guion and Burnett did not participate in practice, while Lang was limited during practice. FS Chris Banjo (hamstring), LB Jayrone Elliott (hamstring), CB Josh Hawkins (hamstring), CB Micah Hyde (ankle) and WR Jeff Janis (hand) fully participated in practice and are not on the injury report. The Packers did not practice Friday, so this is an estimation. Comment () | Share: Packers | Eddie Lacy to run more Fri, 23 Sep 2016 06:54:27 -0700 Green Bay Packers RB Eddie Lacy is expected to receive more carries after head coach Mike McCarthy said he wanted to give the backs more rushing attempts. Fantasy Tip: Lacy has 26 carries for 111 yards and no scores and a 17-yard reception. More work could put him in line to be a solid RB2 against the Detroit Lions this week.

Comment () | Share: Packers | Wednesday injury report for Packers Wed, 21 Sep 2016 14:58:38 -0700 Green Bay Packers SS Morgan Burnett (groin), DT Letroy Guion (knee), DE Datone Jones (knee), LB Clay Matthews (ankle, hamstring) and CB Sam Shields (concussion) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Sept. 21.

Comment () | Share: Packers | Jeff Janis' hand remains in cast Tue, 20 Sep 2016 21:01:47 -0700 Green Bay Packers WR Jeff Janis (hand) will continue to wear a club cast on his injured hand at least through the team's Week 4 bye, according to head coach Mike McCarthy. Fantasy Tip: Green Bay seems content to trot out Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb and Davante Adams almost exclusively at this point, so it seems unlikely Janis will have much of a role even after the cast comes off. Comment () | Share: Packers | C.J. Spiller visiting Green Bay Tue, 20 Sep 2016 12:28:07 -0700 Free-agent RB C.J. Spiller (Saints) is visiting the Green Bay Packers Tuesday, Sept. 20, according to a source. Fantasy Tip: Spiller would still be behind Eddie Lacy and James Starks if he were to sign with the Packers. Keep an eye on him in deep PPR leagues, but he can remain on waivers otherwise. Comment () | Share: Packers | Clay Matthews dealing with ankle injury Tue, 20 Sep 2016 10:30:48 -0700 Green Bay Packers LB Clay Matthews (ankle) injured his left ankle in a Week 2 loss versus the Minnesota Vikings.

Comment () | Share: Packers | Clay Matthews injures ankle Tue, 20 Sep 2016 05:28:20 -0700 Green Bay Packers LB Clay Matthews (ankle) left the Week 2 game to have his left ankle taped but returned to the game. "It's hard to tell from the game, but yeah, I think someone rolled up on it pretty good," Matthews said. "I was able to get through the game. It's obviously sore now. Battle through it, hopefully it progresses through the week."
