The Packers have a receiver logjam on their hands, and Isaiah Neyor has made sure it’s not an easy one to solve.
Green Bay already has four wideouts who look locked in: Matthew Golden, Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, and Savion Williams. Skyy Moore is also trending toward a spot because of what he brings on returns. That leaves just one opening for the rest of the pack, and the competition around it is getting crowded.
J. Michael Sturdivant has put himself into the conversation for the WR6 job, while Bo Melton and Will Shepard are also fighting for a place. But Neyor has been one of the more interesting names in camp, and his work has given him a real chance to hang around.
That showed up on Day 7, when Neyor hauled in a touchdown from Kyle McCord despite the limited opportunities fringe players usually get. The next day, he was working with the first team and caught a pass from Jordan Love. Those reps matter, and Neyor has been using them well.
Neyor has kept stacking good moments at practice.

Special teams could help him even more. That kind of versatility is exactly the sort of detail that can swing a fringe roster battle.
Still, camp production alone won’t be enough. Neyor will have to carry this momentum into the preseason if he wants to lock down a spot.
His path to this point has already been bumpy. He entered the league as an undrafted free agent with the San Francisco 49ers, but that stay didn’t last long before he landed with the Packers.
The former Nebraska Cornhusker was cut before the 2025 regular season, then joined the practice squad. He was eventually activated late in 2025, though he didn’t play a snap.
Right now, Neyor feels like a coin flip to make the final roster. Sturdivant is in the mix too, and if Green Bay decided it liked both players, seven receivers could be an option.
That said, it’s not the likely route, especially with roster spots needed elsewhere. Freddie Boston of Lombardi Ave has Bo Melton making the cut over both of them in his latest 53-man projection, and that remains very much on the table.
If Neyor doesn’t stick on the 53, the practice squad is the fallback. The catch is that another team could swoop in and claim him, which gives Green Bay another reason to take his upside seriously.
For now, Neyor has done his part to get noticed. The preseason is where he has to finish the job.

Packers Suddenly Have A Veteran Tight End Option At The Right Time
With the Packers still sorting through the tight end room, a familiar veteran name has entered the conversation at just the right time. Zach Ertz is reportedly recovered enough from his ACL injury to return to football activities, and he is interested in playing another season, which gives Green Bay a proven option to consider as it looks for help at a spot that has thinned out in recent weeks.
The timing matters because the Packers need more than just bodies there right now, they need someone who can steady the position and give the offense reliable depth. Ertz would not arrive as a long-term fix, but his experience and production history make him a logical fit if Green Bay wants a veteran presence to support the passing game while it navigates the uncertainty around the rest of the tight end group.

Packers Add Receiver As Injuries Suddenly Test Their Depth
The Packers turned to a familiar face for help at receiver, adding Kisean Johnson to their 91-man roster after injuries suddenly thinned the group around Matthew Golden and Jayden Reed. To create the opening, Green Bay waived cornerback Marlon Jones with an injured designation, a reminder of how quickly roster math can change once camp attrition starts to pile up.
Johnson is no stranger to the organization, having previously spent time on the Packers' practice squad before making his return. He also brings college experience from Alabama State and Western Kentucky, and with Green Bay trying to keep its passing-game depth intact, his addition gives the team another option as it waits to see how the injury situation unfolds.

Packers Family Night Put These Young Standouts In The Spotlight
Family Night at Lambeau Field once again gave Packers fans their first real look at how training camp is taking shape, and a few young players made sure the evening felt worthwhile. With the preseason still ahead, the annual practice has become a familiar Green Bay tradition, and it also offers a stage for rookies and developing players to show whether the work they have put in behind closed doors is starting to translate.
Matthew Golden, Trey Smack and Barryn Sorrell were among the names that drew attention during the session, a useful sign for a team always searching for contributors who can climb the depth chart. For Green Bay, nights like this are less about the spectacle and more about who can turn a summer practice into momentum, even if the bigger evaluation process is only getting started. [Read more 🡒]
