The Green Bay Packers will retire Brett Favre’s No. 4 jersey at some point, and team president and CEO Mark Murphy envisions a day when Favre is once again part of the family. But given the messy divorce between Favre and the Packers last year, the reconciliation — and the ceremony — probably won’t happen [...]
The Green Bay Packers’ unprecedented decision to pay running back Ryan Grant after just one accrued season in 2008 has opened the door to possible contractual strife with other exclusive-rights free agents.

David Garrard squeezed through a hole, sliced left and found an open lane to the end zone. He was closing in on the goal line when Will Blackmon caught him from behind and slapped the ball away. It bounced right into Garrard’s arms as he fell to the ground, giving Jacksonville a much-needed break and [...]
Playing his first game in a month because of a knee injury, quarterback Matt Schaub marched the Houston Texans to set up Kris Brown’s 40-yard field goal on the final play of the game to beat the Green Bay Packers 24-21 on Sunday.

The Carolina Panthers and Green Bay Packers are both coming off defensive efforts they would like to forget. Each team looks to bounce back from a disappointing road loss when they meet Sunday afternoon at Lambeau Field Though both teams find themselves in the NFC playoff picture, they certainly didn’t play like teams ready for [...]
The Green Bay Packers and the New Orleans posted victories last weekend that helped strengthen their playoff chances. They’ll need to keep that momentum going if they want to reach the postseason. The Packers and Saints each seek to make it two in a row on Monday night as they meet at the Superdome for [...]
Hello, Ryan Grant. Goodbye, “Soldier Field North.” Grant finally hit his stride — and justified his big contract — for the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, rushing for 145 yards and a touchdown in a dominant 37-3 victory over the Chicago Bears.
