    The Packers injury situation is getting weird… but is MarShawn Lloyd finally HEALTHY?

    New episode of The Daily Cheese, your news update for Green Bay Packers fans! Brought to you by The Packer Project and Packers: DERAILED. Follow me on X at @JJLahey. For more in-depth analysis, make sure you’re subscribed to YouTube.com/@PackerProject Luke Musgrave needed a big offseason for the Green Bay Packers, but instead he has been quiet and now he is dealing with an injury. With Tucker Kraft still working back, Drake Dabney also sidelined, and the Packers tight end room suddenly thin, Musgrave’s injury becomes the top story today. We also break down the growing Packers injury list, including Benjamin St-Juste, Micah Parsons, Zach Tom, Aaron Banks, Devonte Wyatt, Javon Hargrave, Domani Jackson, Skyy Moore, and more. June injuries do not decide the season, but these missed reps matter with Jonathan Gannon installing a new Packers defense. Plus, MarShawn Lloyd finally has some good injury news after getting through the spring healthy. Could he become the explosive change-of-pace weapon behind Josh Jacobs? Then we get into the Packers kicker battle between Trey Smack and Lucas Havrisik. Smack has had some shaky moments, Havrisik has made a push, and Green Bay may have a real kicker controversy heading into training camp. Around the NFC, the Philadelphia Eagles signed A.J. Epenesa, which could affect the Josh Sweat market. The Bears were reportedly interested in Epenesa, so could Chicago now become a Josh Sweat threat against the Packers? And in Detroit, Dan Campbell says Brian Branch could be back in December, which matters with the Packers and Lions meeting in Week 18 at Lambeau Field. Today’s topics: 00:00 - Luke Musgrave injury concern 01:47 - Packers injury list keeps growing 02:04 - Benjamin St-Juste and defensive reps matter 03:17 - MarShawn Lloyd finally healthy? 03:39 - Trey Smack vs. Lucas Havrisik kicker battle 04:46 - Josh Sweat dominoes for Packers and Bears 05:48 - Brian Branch timeline and Packers-Lions Week 18 matchup Stay tuned to The Packer Project for daily Green Bay Packers coverage and listen to Packers: DERAILED for deeper Packers analysis. #Packers #GreenBayPackers #GoPackGo #NFL #DailyCheese

    The Packers just got a MASSIVE Tucker Kraft update… but Keisean Nixon is being a turd

    New episode of The Daily Cheese, your news update for Green Bay Packers fans! Brought to you by The Packer Project and Packers: DERAILED. Follow me on X at @JJLahey. For more in-depth analysis, make sure you’re subscribed to YouTube.com/@PackerProject Tucker Kraft delivered a huge update for the Green Bay Packers, saying he expects to be ready for Week 1 with no snap count. On top of that, the Packers and Kraft are reportedly intent on getting a new contract done before the season begins, which could make him the next major young piece of Green Bay’s offense to get paid. Also on today’s Daily Cheese, Keisean Nixon may be setting up a contract standoff after previously telling Matt Schneidman he would “most likely” seek a raise before the season. Jason Wilde added that he cannot say with confidence Nixon would play this year without a new deal. Could the Packers really give Nixon more money, or should they call his bluff? We also break down why Lukas Van Ness suddenly becomes one of the most important players on the Packers defense with Micah Parsons expected to miss time into mid-October. Van Ness may already be better than fans realize, but now Green Bay needs Barryn Sorrell, Dani Dennis-Sutton, Collin Oliver, or Brenton Cox to step up opposite him. Plus, Josh Jacobs is present at minicamp while his legal situation remains unresolved, and the Packers offensive line is already getting shuffled with Jager Burton taking first-team work and Sean Rhyan settling in at center. Today’s topics include: Tucker Kraft’s Week 1 injury update Tucker Kraft contract extension talks Keisean Nixon seeking a raise Lukas Van Ness becoming the Packers’ key edge rusher Micah Parsons’ early-season absence Josh Jacobs at Packers minicamp Jager Burton and the offensive line shuffle Sean Rhyan at center Stay tuned to The Packer Project for daily Green Bay Packers coverage and listen to Packers: DERAILED for deeper Packers analysis. #Packers #GreenBayPackers #GoPackGo #TuckerKraft #KeiseanNixon #LukasVanNess #JordanLove #JoshJacobs #NFL

    These Packers Minicamp Battles Actually Matter

    The Green Bay Packers are heading into minicamp, and not every storyline is created equal. In this episode of Packers: DERAILED, J.J. Lahey and Jake Schyvinck break down the Packers minicamp battles that actually matter. Which position groups should fans be watching? Which roster spots are really up for grabs? Which young players need to show something before training camp? We’ll talk through the key Packers positions to watch, including the offensive line, wide receiver room, tight end depth, pass rush, defensive line, cornerback, backup quarterback, and special teams. We’ll also look at what minicamp can actually tell us, what it probably can’t, and which early depth chart clues might matter once the Packers get to training camp.

    NFL GMs Lose to Auto-Draft Every Single Time... Here’s How Your Team Could Fix It

    What type of GM would you be if you ran the Green Bay Packers? J.J. Lahey and Kristoph Scott dive deep into NFL roster building, draft strategy, analytics, and the hard truth about how general managers hurt their own teams by moving around the draft board, trading up, and reaching for specific players. Kris brings new analytics showing how an auto-draft approach can beat all 32 NFL general managers, and why the smartest draft strategy is usually not chasing your favorite guy. Instead, the better process is often trading down, collecting more mid-round picks, and building a deeper roster. For the Packers, that means thinking less about a few impressive “trees” and more about building a full “forest” of talent. How should Brian Gutekunst approach the NFL Draft? Should Green Bay trade down more often? Are Packers fans too focused on splash moves and perfect roster construction? This episode is all about how we would run the Packers, why depth matters, why draft capital is king, and why the illusion of the perfect NFL roster leads teams into bad decisions.

    New episode of Packers: DERAILED from The Packer Project! J.J. Lahey and Jake Schyvinck are joined by Packers Insider Easton Butler to talk through the latest on the Josh Sweat to Green Bay Packers trade rumors. Is this actually happening? What is Easton hearing? How real is the Packers’ interest? And how much does Jonathan Gannon matter in all of this? Josh Sweat has been one of the biggest names connected to Green Bay as the Packers look for another impact pass rusher.
