Impact Love will be considered day-to-day heading into Week 9 action against the Loins, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, with the diagnosis of a groin strain providing some optimism that the franchise quarterback may not have to miss time. During Sunday's win over Jacksonville, Love was visibly hobbled by the second quarter before being forced out of the game early in the second half, after which point Malik Willis took over under center. Green Bay will benefit from a Week 10 bye after a pivotal divisional matchup against Detroit on Nov. 3, so if the team has any lingering concern about Love's injury the decision could be made to opt for caution. Love figures to get every chance to demonstrate his health during practice, though, with Green Bay scheduled to next take the field Wednesday.

Xavier McKinney - Gets another interception McKinney recorded six tackles (four solo) and an interception during Sunday's 30-27 win at Jacksonville.

Impact After Sunday's win, McKinney now has an interception in six of the Packers' eight games, and he's alone at the top of the league in that category heading into Week 9. McKinney and Green Bay are now in line to host the Lions and Jared Goff, who has thrown 13 touchdowns and just four interceptions through seven games in 2024.

Eric Wilson - Records season-high tackle total Wilson recorded nine tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 30-27 win at Jacksonville.

Impact Wilson led Packers linebackers in snaps (56) for a second straight game in Week 8 with Quay Walker (concussion) out, and he tallied nine tackles in a game for the first time since back in 2021. If Walker can't return in Week 9 versus the Lions, Wilson could enter consideration as an IDP option.

Edgerrin Cooper - Forces game-changing fumble Cooper recorded nine tackles (five solo) including 1.0 sacks and a forced fumble along with a pass defensed during Sunday's 30-27 win at Jacksonville.

Impact Sunday's game was the most complete of Cooper's young career thus far, and it was highlighted by a strip sack on the Jaguars' four-yard line which led to a Packers touchdown. He's gotten more regular playing time over the past few weeks after a slow start to the season, but he's still not worthy of IDP consideration in most formats yet.

Chris Brooks - Gets involved in win Brooks had four carries for 16 yards and one reception for one yard in Sunday's 30-27 victory over the Jaguars.

Impact Brooks was the third Packers running back to get work Sunday, but he finished with just one fewer touch than fellow reserve Emanuel Wilson, and he also wound up playing 17 snaps to Wilson's 12. There has not been an official changing of the guard behind starter Josh Jacobs, and another ball carrier -- MarShawn Lloyd (ankle) -- could be back soon, but Brooks is more than an afterthought in the Green Bay backfield at this point.

Emanuel Wilson - Continues ceding snaps Wilson had four carries for five yards and two receptions for minus-2 yards in Sunday's 30-27 victory over the Jaguars.

Impact Wilson's snap count has been trending down for weeks, and he did not even finish second among Packers running backs in that department in Week 8, as Chris Brooks took the field for 17 snaps while Wilson was out there for only 12. Green Bay figures to lean on top back Josh Jacobs in Week 9 before going on bye in Week 10, so those who have held onto Wilson should be evaluating other options.

Dontayvion Wicks - Draws just two targets Wicks was targeted twice and caught two passes for 11 yards in Sunday's 30-27 victory over the Jaguars.

Impact Wicks found the end zone for the fourth time this season his last time out, but he did not do much for fantasy players that included him in Week 8 lineups. Wicks remain capable of producing when given the opportunity, but he has had fewer of those of late, as since injuring his shoulder in Week 6 his snap count has taken a noticeable hit. Wicks could get back on track in Week 9 against a Lions team that has allowed opposing wideouts to rack up a league-high 124 receptions, but his prospects will take a hit if starting quarterback Jordan Love (groin) is unable to go.

Brandon McManus - Buries another game-winner McManus made all three field goals he attempted -- including a game-winning 24-yarder as time expired -- and three extra points in Sunday's 30-27 victory over the Jaguars.

Impact McManus buried a game-winning kick against the Texans in Week 7, and he accomplished the same feat just seven days later. He has made all 10 kicks he has gotten up -- four field goals and six extra points -- since joining the Packers, which is exactly what Green Bay was looking for when adding him to the roster in mid-October.

Jordan Love - Slated for tests on injured groin Love is slated to undergo tests on his injured groin Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact Love was clearly hobbled in the second quarter and then was forced out of Sunday's eventual win at Jacksonville in the third quarter, handing over the offense to backup Malik Willis for the rest of the contest. There's a belief that Love doesn't have a long-term injury, but with a Week 10 bye following the Packers' next outing Nov. 3 against the Lions, the team may exercise caution with him to ensure he's good to go for the stretch run of the campaign. Per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com, coach Matt LaFleur intimated as much after the game, saying, "Obviously, (there's a) high level of concern" with Love because the QB and team "didn't feel like he could protect himself." Green Bay will take the field again Wednesday in preparation for next Sunday's matchup.
