GREEN BAY PACKERS NEWS

Tucker Kraft - Four catches against Lions Kraft recorded four receptions on six targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 24-14 loss to the Lions. He added one catch for two yards.

Impact Kraft tied for second on the team with six targets, his highest mark since Week 4. Rainy weather affected Jordan Love's accuracy and willingness to push the ball down the field, so Kraft's yardage total was modest despite his increased role as his longest catch went for just 13 yards. Even so, Kraft's involvement was a positive on a down day for Green Bay's offense overall.

2024 NFL Playoff Picture: Falcons, Chargers see fortunes rise; Packers fall back

The Falcons and Chargers are surging after recent wins, while the Packers took a step back. Here's the NFL playoff picture after Week 9.

6 HOURS AGO

Christian Watson - Leads Packers in targets Watson recorded three receptions on seven targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 24-14 loss to the Lions. He also caught a two-point conversion.

Impact Watson has seen his involvement in the offense tick up in the last two weeks, earning 13 total targets -- the same number he had across the first six contests of the campaign. He didn't manage to turn that into much production Sunday, and he has just 76 yards combined across the last two weeks. Nevertheless, it's been positive to see Watson get more involved in a crowded Green Bay receiving corps and should see improved production if his opportunity remains stable.

Jayden Reed - Tops 100 yards Reed recorded five receptions on six targets for 113 yards in Sunday's 24-14 loss to the Lions.

Impact The entire Green Bay offense was bogged down by rainy conditions and otherwise sloppy play in the loss, though Reed was a bright spot. He accounted for three of the team's four longest plays from scrimmage with receptions that went for 41, 32 and 28 yards. The end result was his third game this season in which he topped 100 receiving yards, and he continues to perform very efficiently on relatively limited targets.

Josh Jacobs - Disappears in second half Jacobs rushed the ball 13 times for 95 yards in Sunday's 24-14 loss to the Packers. He added two receptions on three targets for 13 yards.

Impact Jacobs was the driving force behind the Packers' offense in the first two quarters, as he picked up 89 yards on 10 carries at halftime. He had long gains of 37 and 13 yards, the latter of which came on the team's opening scoring drive. However, he tallied only three carries in the second half as Green Bay attempted to come back from a 17-3 deficit, leading to more involvement for Chris Brooks and Emanuel Wilson. Jacobs remains the clear lead back in the offense, though Sunday's usage was concerning for him if the Packers fall behind in contests moving forward.

Jordan Love - Struggles in rainy conditions Love completed 23 of 39 passes for 273 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 24-14 loss to the Lions.

Impact Love played through a groin injury that limited his practice participation throughout the week. At first glance, his stat line appears decent, as he averaged 7.0 yards per attempt and topped 250 passing yards fourth time in seven games. However, he threw a pick-six just before halftime on an ill-advised play and later missed Dontayvion Wicks wide open in the end zone as the Packers tried to make a comeback early in the fourth quarter. Love has now failed to throw a touchdown in consecutive starts as the Packers head into their bye week.

8 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Romeo Doubs - Accrues four receptions Sunday Doubs recorded four catches (on five targets) for 28 yards during Sunday's 24-14 loss to the Lions.

Impact QB Jordan Love spread his 39 pass attempts around to nine different Packers, with Christian Watson leading the way with seven targets and Jayden Reed (5-113-0) the only one to have more than four catches and 40 yards. Moreover, Love didn't toss a touchdown for a second game in a row, leaving Doubs stuck on two end-zone visits through eight contests. Green Bay has a Week 10 bye on tap, so Doubs won't see action again until Sunday, Nov. 17 at Chicago.

Impact Wooden appears to have picked up a shoulder injury in the second half of Sunday's game and his status for the remainder of the contest is now up in the air. In the meantime, Karl Brooks and Tedarrell Slaton are candidates to see an increase in workload at defensive tackle.

Josh Myers - Out Sunday Myers (wrist) will not play in Sunday's game versus the Lions, Mike Spofford of the team's official website reports.

Impact Myers fought through a wrist injury in last week's win over the Jaguars, but he will be unable to do so versus the Lions. In his absence, Elgton Jenkins could potentially shift to center or Jacob Monk would also be a candidate to fill in at center.

Corey Ballentine - Gets green light Ballentine (ankle) is good to go for Sunday's game versus the Lions, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Ballentine missed his first game of the year last week against the Jaguars. He could be in for a bigger role than usual with Jaire Alexander (knee) sidelined.

Jaire Alexander - Won't face Detroit Alexander (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions.

Impact Alexander injured his knee in the fourth quarter of last week's win over the Jaguars and missed practice all week. Eric Stokes and Corey Ballentine should see increased snaps at cornerback against Detroit.

Josh Jacobs - Available in Week 9 Jacobs (ankle) is active for Sunday's game versus the Lions, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Jacobs emerged from the Packers' Week 8 win in Jacksonville with an ankle injury that didn't allow him to practice until Thursday, but he ended Week 9 prep with back-to-back limited sessions before heading into the weekend listed as questionable. With his status confirmed for Sunday's outing, he should be good for his normal 20.1 touches per game.

Jordan Love - Active in Week 9 Love (groin) is listed as active Sunday versus the Lions, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact One week removed from making an early departure from a Week 8 win at Jacksonville due to a groin strain, Love will suit up and continue to direct the Packers offense after capping Week 9 prep with back-to-back limited practices. He'll be taking on a Detroit defense that has allowed the second-fewest passing touchdowns (six) to opposing quarterbacks in seven games this season.

Josh Jacobs - Likely to suit up Sunday Jacobs, who is officially questionable for Sunday's matchup against Detroit due to an ankle injury, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Jacobs hurt his ankle late in last Sunday's win over Jacksonville and logged a DNP/LP/LP progression in practice this week. He entered the weekend deemed questionable to take the field against Detroit but appears set to try to play through the injury. Jacobs will likely be getting the ball from Jordan Love, who is also expected to play Sunday, per Schefter, despite dealing with a groin injury.

Impact Per Pelissero, Love, who logged limited practices Thursday and Friday, didn't encounter any setbacks or surprises during the week, which puts him on track to face Detroit. Official confirmation of the QB's Week 9 status will arrive when the Packers post their inactives ahead of Sunday's 4:25 ET kickoff, but at this stage it looks like Love will be available.
