Overview

  • Green Bay beat Washington 27-18 on Thursday night, marking the Packers’ first 2-0 start since 2020.
  • Jordan Love completed 19 of 31 passes for 292 yards and two touchdowns, and tight end Tucker Kraft delivered 6 receptions for 124 yards and a score.
  • Jeff Hafley’s defense limited Jayden Daniels to 200 passing yards and 17 rushing, produced four sacks, and got eight pressures and a shared sack from Micah Parsons.
  • Coach Matt LaFleur said WR Jayden Reed fractured his collarbone and will go on injured reserve, with surgery early next week and a hoped-for return in November.
  • Starting linemen Zach Tom (oblique) and Aaron Banks (ankle/groin) were inactive, with Jordan Morgan starting and right tackle duties handled by Darian Kinnard and Anthony Belton; separately, 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan called Brock Purdy a long shot vs. the Saints, making Mac Jones the likely starter.
