Really short turn around this week.
Three RBs who were on the #Packers roster this season are currently on NFL practice squads & could get added to the 53-man roster this week:

Tyler Goodson (Colts)

James Robinson, recently released from p/s, remains a free agent as…

From Peter King this AM….seats are available!
Green Bay at Detroit, Thursday, 12:30 p.m. ET, Fox. This should tell you how amazingly bad the Lions have been in this century: Playing with home-field advantage every Thanksgiving Day, the Lions are 5-17 on the day we eat turkey. They’ve lost six in a row. The worm is turning. Detroit will be a prohibitive fave Thursday against their good friends the Packers, and I looked on Vivid Seats, the ticket reselling site, the other day, at seats for this game. There are two in the upper deck, corner of the end zone, row 17—in other words, some of the worst seats in the house—for $969.34, including $255.34 in “service fees.” Happy Thanksgiving! By the way, does anyone ever wonder how these ticket resellers get away with saying to customers, “Hey, you can buy two tickets to this game, and we’ll only charge you $255 for being the middleman! What a great deal you’re getting!” As John Mellencamp once said, “Ahh, but ain’t that America.”
Tyler Goodson is my choice.
Packers are bringing back RB James Robinson, per a source. He'll be on the practice squad again, but he can be elevated for Thursday's game at Detroit.

Robinson was released from the p-squad on Nov. 6, when RB Ellis Merriweather was signed. So now two RBs on the p-squad.
First to call it? This guy. (back pat thingy)
Lions week should be Loins week
It certainly helps that the Chargers secondary is horrible but nonetheless these clips are a fun watch. The Wicks catch and run at the end of this video is terrific. That was a 5 yard pass he blew up into a 30 plus yard YAC.
.@packers the Youth Movement is on. I think the great @StaceyDales told America a few weeeks ago that its the youngest roster in the NFL..2 rookie TD’s and @jordan3love looked like the answer at QB. #GoPackGo #BaldysBreakdowns pic.twitter.com/enIdbU0uJn

More roster moves. From packers.com:
The Green Bay Packers signed RB Patrick Taylor to the active roster off the New England Patriots' practice squad, released S Dallin Leavitt, signed RB James Robinson to the practice squad and released LB Christian Young from the practice squad. The transactions were announced Monday by General Manager Brian Gutekunst.
Taylor originally joined Green Bay as an undrafted free agent in 2020 and has played in 27 regular-season games for Packers from 2021-23, including four this season. He will wear No. 27 for the Packers.
Robinson spent a few weeks on Green Bay's practice squad earlier this season. He will wear No. 32 for the Packers.
(DAL-in LEV-it) Leavitt played in 27 games for Green Bay in 2022-23 and recorded 14 special teams tackles.
CB Zyon Gilbert will now wear No. 29 and RB Ellis Merriweather will now wear No. 38.
Packers injury list info follows. A lot of key contributors may be out Thursday.
@WesHod: The #Packers list 16 on their first injury report of the week, including Dontayvion Wicks (DNP with concussion/knee).
Luke Musgrave (abdomen), De'Vondre Campbell (neck), Josiah Deguara (hip), Aaron Jones (knee), Emanuel Wilson (shoulder) & Wicks would not have practiced today.

You have to love Thursday football after a Sunday game.
Most games are decided by who wins in the trenches, but that is even more the case for these Thursday games. You don't get the same time to game plan, so it's often just line up and do what you do well. On both sides of the ball the Packers lines are much worse than the Lions. It's what you get from drafting near the top of the 1st round for years when you can evaluate OL and DL talent well.
The Lions might win this by 30+. I hope I'm wrong, but the Lions OL and DL are very, very good. Another 200 yard rushing day by an opponent is incoming. The one chance the Packers might have is that if Goff has another off day. A few picks could keep them hanging around.

Baldy gives Kraft credit for a TD that he didn't actually score. I guess the Lambeau Leap convinced him. 
So now that Taylor has had three activations, has been cut and returned does that reset him back to being eligible for gameday elevation?
Didn't watch it, so wondering how CHI played them so close?
Taylor was signed to the 53, and I believe has mo more PS eligibility in GB.

I'm not surprised Craft didn't score a TD.

They played sound D through most of the game. Had some turnovers. Fields was impacting the game with some nice throws and gash runs. It didn't look like DET D was disciplined enough when coming after him. CHI has been playing well on D in general.
Going to have to use a lot of 5 man fronts and / or run blitzes to try to not let their o-line dominate the game.
In other words, Barry will "do what we do" and Goff will gash us.
THE LIONS QUITE POSSIBLY WILL CHOCK.
Last time GBP played an 8-2 DET team was Thanksgiving, 1962.
Detroit beat the Packers 26-14, for GBs only loss that season. GB went on to win the NFL title, finishing 14-1.
Starr was sacked 11 times and Detroit led 26-0 late before GB scored twice.
Eleven times? Did they even drop back that often back then?

I remember it well, we (as kids) didn’t think it was possible for our lads to get beat much less get beaten to a pulp.
Flying under the radar is the release of Leavitt. I love that. This is the mentality we need to see more of. You make mental mistakes, you are the first one gone when we need a roster spot.

Was this when Lombardi said screw any more Thanksgiving games?

That was the game where Fuzzy invented the lookout block. Fuzzy would try and make a block and then yell, "Look out Bart!!"

Unless you were a high draft. DeGuara's kick protection gaffe two weeks ago was just as bad.

BUH-WAH-HAH-HAH...

Sad state of affairs when the other team choking is a priority for a win.
I say we all raise a bottle of Hubris Brew on Thanksgiving. Because why not. Hubris is fun.

He might have been the odd man out even without his opening play meltdown. He's been next to useless this year.
Probably a toss up between him and Deguara and that fuck up let Deguara last another week.

@mattschneidman: New (and old) Packers RB Patrick Taylor said he got the call about coming back to Green Bay at *halftime* of Sunday’s game, mere minutes after Aaron Jones and Emanuel Wilson got hurt. He was watching on TV and figured the call was coming.
See? The Packers do make halftime adjustments. 😁

Leavitt’s dumbass cut. Hopefully, the team gets the message.
The Lions reportedly have given up the most yards in the NFL in the last 3 weeks and are last in the NFL during that period for EPA.
The Packers rank 10th in the league in defense for total points allowed at 20.2
The Lions rank 22nd giving up nearly 23 a game, much of that in the last few weeks.
They gave up 533 yards of offense to the Chargers and gave up 183 yards rushing to the Bears last week.
The Lions aren't unbeatable.
So your saying there is hope?
From various NFL reporters:
Packers’ RB Aaron Jones has an MCL sprain, will be considered week to week, but is unlikely to play Thursday.
Whoa.
@TomSilverstein: LaFleur said that TE Luke Musgrave suffered a pretty serious abdominal injury and didn't complain about it until Monday. He said Musgrave is in the hospital right now.
LaFleur said that they have the injury diagnosed and is under control. He said Musgrave is actually out of the hospital now. He won't play Thursday and he did not rule out injured reserve but they're waiting to see how things go.
