Green Bay Packers Fantasy Overview

Packers DL Lukas Van Ness is active for today's game against the Jets, meaning he officially cleared the concussion protocol. He's good to go as a lower-level IDP option with upside.

The Colts are trading LB Zaire Franklin to the Packers for DL Colby Wooden. Franklin spent eight years with the Colts and arrives with two left on his contract.

The Packers have selected Jonathan Gannon to replace Jeff Hafley as defensive coordinator. Gannon spent the past three seasons leading Arizona to a 15-36 record but wasn't calling defensive plays for those squads, which sported iffy talent. He spent two years before that coordinating Philly defenses that each ranked top 12 in scoring. The 2022 unit allowed the leagues fewest passing yards, tallied the most sacks and ranked fourth in INTs. Gannon spent seven seasons before that coaching DBs in Minnesota, then Indianapolis. He has been in the NFL as a coach or scout since 2007.

The Packers fear Edge Micah Parsons tore his left ACL in Sunday's loss to the Broncos. He left in the second half with a non-contact injury to the knee. He's headed for a Monday MRI to confirm the diagnosis.

Update: Monday's MRI confirmed the ACL tear.
