Rashan Gary - Sacks Goff in Week 14 Gary logged three tackles (one solo), including 1.0 sacks, during Green Bay's 34-31 loss to Detroit.

Impact Gary got to Jared Goff late in the first quarter for a three-yard loss, which led to the Lions punting on the next play. Gary logged 2.5 sacks over the Packers' first nine games of the regular season, but in the four games since the Week 10 bye he's tallied 3.0 sacks. He'll look to add to his total in Week 15 against Geno Smith and the Seahawks on Sunday, Dec. 15.

Kenny Clark - Logs eight tackles against Detroit Clark finished Thursday's 34-31 loss to the Lions with eight tackles (six solo).

Impact It was a season-high tackling effort from the veteran defensive tackle this past Thursday, and he was one tackle shy from matching his career-best output from Week 3 of the 2018 season (nine). He's now up to 31 tackles (17 solo), including 1.0 sacks, through 13 regular-season games.

Keisean Nixon - Picks off Goff in Week 14 Nixon registered 10 tackles (three solo) and two pass defenses (including an interception) in Thursday's 34-31 loss to Detroit.

Impact Nixon tied Quay Walker as the Packers' second-leading tackler this past Thursday behind Isaiah McDuffie (15). Nixon logged his first interception of the season when he picked off Jared Goff early in the third quarter, which set the Packers up deep in Lions' territory and led to a six-yard touchdown run by Josh Jacobs three plays later. Through 13 regular-season games, Nixon has logged 65 tackles (42 solo), including 2.0 sacks, six pass defenses (including one interception) and two forced fumbles.

Quay Walker - Logs 10 tackles again Walker tallied 10 tackles (six solo) during the Packers' 34-31 loss to the Lions in Week 13.

Impact Walker logged the same amount of combined and solo tackles this past Thursday as he did against the Dolphins in Week 13, except he wasn't able to register a sack on Jared Goff. The third-year linebacker is up to 99 combined tackles through 12 games, and with four games left to go in the regular season, Walker is on track to eclipse his career-best mark (121) set in 2022, his rookie year.

Isaiah McDuffie - Career-high 15 tackles vs. Detroit McDuffie tallied 15 tackles (four solo) in the Packers' 34-31 loss to the Lions in Week 14.

Impact McDuffie played 100 percent of the Packers' defensive snaps for the first time this season, and he accounted for a tackle on 19.7 percent of those snaps. He's registered 25 total tackles over his last two outings, which is more than what he accumulated across the five games prior. With four regular-season games left in 2024, McDuffie has matched his output from 2023 with 86 combined tackles (including 0.5 sacks), along with three pass defenses and one forced fumble over 13 games.

Javon Bullard - May miss time Head coach Matt LaFleur stated Monday that Bullard (ankle) is week-to-week, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

Impact Bullard suffered the injury in Thursday's loss to the Lions and left the locker room that night with a boot and crutches. His week-to-week status suggests he's likely a longshot to recover in time to suit up Sunday against the Seahawks, but a firmer stance on his status will likely come later in the week when Green Bay releases its first injury report.

Chris Brooks - Role remains consistent Brooks had one carry for three yards in Thursday's 34-31 loss to the Lions.

Impact The Packers leaned heavily on starting running back Josh Jacobs again, and both Brooks and fellow reserve Emanuel Wilson finished with only one carry apiece. Brooks and Wilson continue seeing a similar number of touches, but Brooks has been spending more time on the field, out-snapping Wilson in six straight contests -- and quite comfortably in each of the last four.

DECEMBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Emanuel Wilson - Opportunities remain minimal Wilson had one carry for seven yards in Thursday's 34-31 loss to the Lions.

Impact Wilson was the second Packers running back to get the ball in Thursday's contest, but both he and Chris Brooks were used sparingly with Josh Jacobs dominating the work out of the backfield. Wilson and Brooks are both handling a similar workload, but Wilson's snaps have paled in comparison to his counterpart's in recent weeks, and Brooks has spent more time on the field in six straight games.

DECEMBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Brandon McManus - Makes all kicks again McManus made a 32-yard field goal and all four extra points he attempted in Thursday's 34-31 loss to the Lions.

Impact McManus made every kick he got up for the fourth time in as many chances and for the sixth time in seven appearances with the Packers. He and Green Bay will next face a Seattle team that allowed opponents to convert just six field goals over the five games leading up to its Week 14 matchup with the Cardinals.

Jayden Reed - Gets just one target Reed got one target and finished without a catch in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Lions.

Impact Reed played 50 percent of snaps, which ties for his lowest share this season but doesn't fall outside the normal range. It's the seventh time he's logged 50-59 percent of snaps, as he still doesn't get much playing time in formations with fewer than three wide receivers. Reed has just one game all year with more than six targets, making him highly dependent on touchdowns and big plays, especially relative to other WRs that primarily man the slot. He has 12 targets and 73 receiving yards over the past four games, but with three of his eight catches in that span going for touchdowns. Reed will be a high-risk, high-reward lineup option once again Week 15 at Seattle, facing a defense that often uses top cornerback Devon Witherspoon in the slot.
