Overview
- General manager Brian Gutekunst has cautioned that Micah Parsons could miss the first few games, even with a new NFL rule allowing players on the PUP list to start practicing after Week 2.
- The edge group thinned after Rashan Gary was traded to the Cowboys and Kingsley Enagbare signed with the Jets, leaving Lukas Van Ness and Barryn Sorrell as the projected starters.
- Green Bay holds no first-round pick in the 2026 draft, which limits an immediate upgrade through rookies and points the team toward a veteran signing or a trade.
- CBS Sports’ Garrett Podell identified Von Miller as an ideal one-year addition for Green Bay, noting his nine sacks for Washington in 2025 and his value as a rotational rusher when Parsons returns.
- The Packers added defensive tackle Javon Hargrave and linebacker Zaire Franklin this offseason, but a proven edge addition could steady the pass rush and lighten the load on a defense that faltered after Parsons’ injury.
