Free agents, including Malik Willis, Romeo Doubs, Quay Walker and Rasheed Walker, could depart.<\/p>\n
Head Coach Matt LaFleur\u2019s status is still unclear, but he is under contract for next season.<\/p>\n
There are also some questions about the return and health of injured players.<\/p>\n
Defensive star Micah Parsons said he is aiming to return from his torn ACL as early as possible next season.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think lofty I\u2019d be saying Week 1, but realistically probably like Week 3, Week 4,\u201d Parsons said Monday as the Packers cleaned out their lockers. \u201cJust to make sure, getting back into football and practicing hard and getting ready to sustain, taking my body through what I go through. I told [the] guys, \u2018Get ready to embrace the mentality of doing more than what your job\u2019s required.\u2019 We got to get ready to fight deep water. This ain\u2019t a test. When you look [at the] matchups, the games we have for next year, it\u2019s another tough year.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tight end Tucker Kraft had reconstructive surgery on his knee. He said he wants to be ready for Week 1.<\/p>\n
\u201cA lot of physical therapy, I was told before the surgery, and something that Micah\u2019s going through right now,\u201d said Kraft. \u201cIt is very painful. I don\u2019t wish it upon anyone. Moving forward, I do feel like as a tight end, I am the full package and I can be anything for this team. I\u2019m really excited for next year.\u201d<\/p>\n
The loss of defensive lineman Devonte Wyatt to an ankle injury certainly compromised both the Packers\u2019 pass rush and run defense. Wyatt noted he wants to be ready for the start of training camp.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel like I got a lot more in the tank than what I put out there this year, or the past three years,\u201d said Wyatt. \u201cI know I have a lot more. I feel like this injury right here really is going to help me get above that hump, just showing you all what I have.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Packers are also bracing for the possible departure of defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley. He\u2019s interviewing for several head-coaching jobs.<\/p>\n
\u201cI got a ton of respect for him,\u201d said Packers safety Xavier McKinney. \u201cMy thing is always, if there is a position, obviously I wouldn\u2019t want him to leave, but if there is a position where it can be better for him and his family, then I\u2019m behind him.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"GREEN BAY, Wis. \u2014 With the Green Bay Packers\u2019 season over, the attention now shifts to the offseason.\u00a0…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":676391,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2072],"tags":[1615,1613,15638,7,41,345,2514,2513,88,6,428,9,1004,991],"class_list":{"0":"post-676390","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-green-bay-packers","8":"tag-app-sports","9":"tag-app-top-stories","10":"tag-dennis-krause","11":"tag-football","12":"tag-green-bay","13":"tag-green-bay-packers","14":"tag-greenbay","15":"tag-greenbaypackers","16":"tag-news","17":"tag-nfl","18":"tag-packers","19":"tag-sports","20":"tag-top-stories","21":"tag-wisconsin"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115893122200241899","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/676390","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=676390"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/676390\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/676391"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=676390"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=676390"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=676390"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
