Darian Kinnard - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Re-signing with Green Bay Kinnard agreed to terms Tuesday on a contract with the Packers, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Kinnard is signing a one-year deal worth up to $3.75 million to stay with the Packers. The backup right tackle was a reliable backup when starter Zach Tom was unable to stay on the field during the 2025 season. Kinnard's availability and reserve production were valuable enough to score him another year in the green and yellow, where he will likely continue to back up Tom.

Impact Kinnard finished the Packers' Week 15 loss to the Broncos at right tackle after Zach Tom (back/knee) succumbed to injury. The offensive lineman is all set to suit up for Saturday night's game, while Tom is not, making it very likely that he will start at right tackle for the key divisional matchup.

Questionable to play Saturday Kinnard (neck) is questionable to play Saturday against Chicago, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official website reports.

Impact Kinnard was a limited participant at each of the Packers' three practice sessions throughout the week with a neck injury, and his status for Week 16 is now in question. With Zach Tom (back/knee) also banged up, the team may have to shuffle their offensive line around versus the Bears.
