Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs addressed his touchdown celebration against the Carolina Panthers, which appeared to mimic an arrest. Jacobs explained that the gesture was actually a reference to the gospel song "Break Every Chain," a celebration he devised with teammate Savion Williams
Savion Williams had limited production in Week 8, with 1 catch for 5 yards and an 18-yard run

Life in the NFL is weird, man. The first-place Panthers are 3-3 as they head to Lambeau Field on Thursday to face off against 4-3 Packers who sit in last(!) place in their own division. Both teams are coming off a loss, the Packers missing a late gift of a field goal attempt from madman Dan Campbell and the Panthers coming off a shellacking at the hands of the previously underwhelming Buccaneers . Get a $55 bonus after $25 in trades by claiming the latest Kalshi promo code CBSSPORTS55 here : Lambeau Field should be ROCKING on Thursday night too, with the home game coming less than 24 hours after the Brewers won the first World Series in the history of the franchise. The Venn Diagram of Packers fans who are also Brewers fans (and vice versa) is basically two concentric circles, so I'd expect a very, very rowdy crowd in Green Bay on Thursday night. Wager on the NFL with the latest DraftKings promo code and get $200 in bonus bets and 3 months of NBA League Pass: I was very tempted to take the Packers here, with the Brewers providing a major lift for the home team and the Panthers missing some key players. Those include their best offensive lineman in Damien Lewis and their best pass rusher in Jaelen Phillips. But I'd rather bank on another prime-time shootout happening here with two very questionable defenses in play. The Packers and Lions should have scored 60 points last week, but the two coaches decided to get hyper aggressive with fourth-down decision-making. This matchup favors both offenses: the Packers should be able to run and score on the ground, and the Panthers should be able to answer with Bryce Young and the passing attack. I think one of these two teams drags the other into a shootout and we see the ball getting tossed all over the place on Thursday night. Savion Williams returned from injury in Week 6 and was immediately a pretty crucial piece of the passing attack, especailly relative to all the weapons the Packers have at Jordan Love's disposal. Savion has seven targets in two games and games of 32 and 47 yards on the season. He's not going off for 100 yards here without breaking a big catch, but he's also going to be in the mix for several receptions, and the targets he's getting should equate to about 10 yards per catch or longer, so this number just looks too short. The Packers run game has been pretty terrible all season, and while I'm very tempted to take Jacobs' Over rush yards here against a Panthers run defense that can be very vulnerable, I'd rather attack what we saw from them last week, which was using Jacobs heavily in the passing attack. Jacobs ended the game against Detroit with seven targets, five catches and 55 receiving yards. He looked like a very different and more explosive player in the pass game. I don't think LaFleur will ignore that and expect Green Bay to lean into it.

He only has two scores on the year but they came in a massive prime-time matchup against an NFC North opponent with a weak pass defense. Hello, similar matchup! I think Tet gets back in the end zone on Thursday. Watson has taken a bit of a back seat the last two weeks to Matthew Golden in the Packers passing attack -- it seems like a focused effort to get Golden really going in his second season after Watson started the season on fire. With Golden banged up and the Panthers vulnerable on the back end, plus the Packers at home in prime time, this feels like a beautiful spot to get Watson running hot again, whether it's on a deep shot or with some red-zone targets

Matthew Golden (shoulder/foot) trending towards playing on Thursday Night Football
Savion Williams has an opportunity to increase his role in Week 8 against Carolina, potentially leading to fantasy production
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden (shoulder, foot) has drawn 25 targets over his past two games, including 12 against the Detroit Lions in Week 7, when he caught six passes for 39 yards, but he is questionable for Thursday night's Week 8 matchup against the Carolina Panthers, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. His potential absence would leave a significant amount of recent passing volume available for other receivers, particularly Christian Watson and Savion Williams. Williams caught all three of his targets for 47 yards against the Lions and could see additional opportunities if Golden is sidelined. Golden was listed as an estimated nonparticipant Monday and Tuesday, although head coach Matt LaFleur expressed hope that the second-year receiver would be available

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Savion Williams has played 40 offensive snaps in each of his two games since returning from injured reserve, with his snap share increasing from 53% to 60%. He caught all three targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Detroit Lions and added four rushing yards on two carries, for two-game totals of seven receptions, 79 yards and 13 rushing yards that show versatility in Green Bay's offense. His role could grow Thursday night against the Carolina Panthers if Matthew Golden (shoulder/foot) is unable to play, as he was listed as a non-participant on Green Bay's estimated injury reports Monday and Tuesday, putting his Week 8 availability in question. Williams is worth a speculative stash in leagues with at least 14 teams, with his streaming appeal depending on Golden's availability. Golden commanded 12 targets against the Lions, although Christian Watson and Tucker Kraft would likely remain the primary receiving options if he sits
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden (foot, shoulder) was listed as a non-participant in practice for the second straight day on Tuesday, per ESPN's Rob Demovsky. It's too early to say for certain, but Golden appears to be at risk of being inactive for Green Bay's Week 8 matchup against the Carolina Panthers on Thursday night. The 23-year-old has had a breakout season for the Packers to this point in 2026, recording 36 catches for 540 yards and three touchdowns on 69 targets across seven games. If Golden is unable to play against Carolina, Green Bay's passing game could become extremely condensed around wide receiver Christian Watson and tight end Tucker Kraft. Second-year wideout Savion Williams could be worth stashing off deep-league waiver wires as well
Williams caught three passes on as many targets for 47 yards and turned two carries into four yards during the Packers' 20-17 loss to the Lions on Sunday. Quarterback Jordan Love spread the ball around Sunday to eight different receivers, and Williams was one of five pass catchers to record at least three receptions. Williams finished fourth on the team in receiving yards, with two of his catches going for 27 and 20 yards in the first and second quarters, respectively. The second-year pro is cemented as the Packers' WR3 behind Christian Watson and Matthew Golden, and tight end Tucker Kraft is also in the mix for looks from Love. The Packers will head back to Lambeau Field and practice on a short week for Thursday night's game against the Panthers, whose defense ranks sixth in the NFL in passing yards allowed per game (195.7) and fifth in passing touchdowns allowed (seven)

Earlier this week, Packers quarterback Jordan Love told reporters he would be available to play on Sunday, despite being listed as limited on Wednesday with a back issue. Now that has become official. Love has no injury designation on Green Bay’s final practice report of the week and is set to play against Detroit. Receivers Christian Watson (ankle), Savion Williams (ankle), and Matthew Golden (shoulder) are also off the injury report and are all set to play, despite being listed as limited all week. Guard Aaron Banks (knee/toe), receiver Bo Melton (back), cornerback Benjamin St-Juste (hamstring), and defensive tackle Jordan Riley (Achilles) are all questionable. Defensive tackle Anthony Campbell (ankle), cornerback Brandon Cisse (shoulder/neck), and edge rusher Lukas Van Ness (illness) are also off the injury report and are set to play. Head coach Matt LaFleur noted earlier on Friday that linebacker Zaire Franklin (shin) is out after suffering an injury on Thursday
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Savion Williams continues to trend up in fantasy football after an impressive season debut last week. Williams had four catches, 32 yards, and 8.1 PPR points in his first game of the season, and with Green Bay's offense trending up, he should carry a similar outlook into this Sunday's Week 7 contest against the Detroit Lions. While Williams is clearly third on the depth chart behind Christian Watson and Matthew Golden, that's not a death sentence for his fantasy outlook. Both Watson and Golden have ranked as WR1s this year, so the No. 3 option behind them should have no trouble getting onto the fantasy radar as a low-end WR3. This week's matchup also helps his stock, as the Lions have allowed the 11th-most receiving yards and the 10th-most receiving touchdowns to wide receivers in 2026. The only real concern here about Williams' outlook is the potential for Green Bay to throw the ball less with running back Josh Jacobs returning to action. However, the Packers' passing attack has been clicking so well that we don't see any reason for them to abandon that approach going forward. Long story short, a path does exist for Williams to be streamed as a WR3/flex this week
Williams (ankle) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Lions, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports. A knee injury limited Williams' practice participation all week, but he's done enough to avoid an injury tag for Sunday's NFC North showdown. The second-year pro made his 2026 debut against the Cowboys in Week 8, when he caught all four of his targets for 32 yards and added two carries for nine yards in a 23-13 win for the Packers. Williams figures to operate as Green Bay's WR3 behind Christian Watson and Matthew Golden
Savion Williams is cleared to play on Sunday against the Lions despite an ankle injury, but is not expected to see significant work unless Bo Melton (back) is sidelined
Jordan Love upgraded to full participation, still expected to play Sunday
Williams (ankle) was listed as limited at Thursday's practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports. Williams was also listed as limited on Wednesday's estimated injury report. The same applies to Christian Watson (ankle) and Matthew Golden (shoulder), while Bo Melton (back) has drawn consecutive 'DNP' listings. Friday's final injury report thus is slated to add further context with regard to the health of the Packers' WR corps for Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff against the Lions
