The team <a href="https://x.com/TomPelissero/status/1846326793026130395">has signed</a> former Denver Broncos and Super Bowl 50 champion Brandon McManus, per NFL insider Tom Pelissero.</p><p>The 33-year-old spent the 2023 season with the Jacksonville Jaguars before joining the Washington Commanders last March. He was released in June after <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-brandon-mcmanus-gets-major-update-on-assault-case">sexual assault allegations</a> while with the Jaguars became public. Jacksonville also faced legal trouble as it was alleged they allowed alcohol on international flights to London last year and fostered an unsafe working environment for women.</p><p>Narveson never quite got comfortable or consistent this season with the Packers. He made 12-of-17 field goal attempts. His 70.6% field goal conversion rate was second-to-last. The Packers were looking as though Greg Joseph was going to be their starter entering Week 1 but pivoted to Narveson after he ended up on the waiver wire on cut day.</p><h2><b>Packers still looking for heir apparent to Mason Crosby</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Jaguars-Brandon-McManus-kicking-off.jpg"><figcaption>© Charles LeClaire-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Crosby was with Green Bay for 16 seasons from 2007 to 2022. In his final years, his accuracy and length rapidly deteriorated. Over his last two years, he was 4-for-8 from 50+ and 10-for-15 from 40 to 49.</p><p>In 2023, the Packers used their sixth-round pick on Anders Carlson out of Auburn. It was a head-scratcher selection, considering he only made 26-of-38 over his last two seasons; that’s just 68.4%. For context, two other kickers were drafted that year: Jake Moody (52-of-60, 86.7% in his last two years) and Chad Ryland (38-of-45, 84.4% in his last two years).</p><p>After <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/packers-news-green-bay-cuts-kicker-anders-carlson-after-playoff-disaster">botching a kick</a> that could’ve sent them to the Super Bowl, the writing was on the wall as the Green Bay brought on Greg Joseph during the offseason for a kicker competition. Joseph was passed over for Narveson, who like Crosby, just doesn’t have enough length and was never reliable enough. Head coach <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/packers-news-matt-lefleur-reveals-confidence-level-green-bay-new-kicker">Matt LaFleur gave Narveson</a> a not-so-serious sounding vote of approval before the season began.</p><p>“Yeah, I’ve seen enough to be confident in him,” LaFleur said Sunday. “If that’s what you’re asking: Do I have confidence in him? Absolutely.”</p><p>McManus spent the first nine years of his career with the Denver Broncos. His conversion rate dropped to 77.8% in the 2022 season, and he was not retained after his contract expired. The following year, he signed a one-year deal with Jacksonville.</p><p>The Packers host the Houston Texans in Week 7, a battle between two of the league’s better teams. The contest kicks off Sunday, October 20 at 1:00 p.m. EST.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

We’re going to make sure that we get you involved in this game, but we’ve got another dude that’s like that, too. Because, in my humble opinion, D.A. is making that touchdown catch, and it’s a whole different game,” Jones explained. “D.A. is definitely looking back earlier in that Minnesota Vikings game for that back shoulder. It’s different type plays because Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams. This is big time right here, and I think it’s at the right time because your season is not over. This division is going to come down to the wire.”</p><p>On paper, having two premier wide receivers on the same team is a very good strategy, with plenty of the top teams in the NFL, from the Philadelphia Eagles, to the Miami Dolphins, and the San Francisco 49ers all using the strategy to exceptional effect when fully healthy. How Rodgers and his offensive coordinator, Nathaniel Hackett, decide to distribute the targets will largely come down to comfortability and the flow of the game, as opposed to designating one player, a WR1 or a WR2.</p><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Garrett-Wilson-running-a-route-for-the-Jets-.jpg"><figcaption>Chris Pedota, NorthJersey.com / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><h2><b>Garrett Wilson has never had a Jets teammate like Davante Adams</b></h2><p>While Wilson immediately hit the ground running and played like a premier wide receiver upon being drafted in the first round by the Jets, much of that came down to necessity.</p><p>Yes, Wilson is an incredibly skilled player, who checks pretty much any box a team could ask for in a premier wide receiver, but as a rookie, he had<a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/nyj/2022.htm" rel="noopener"> 82 more targets than the Jets’ number two wide receiver</a>, Elijah Moore. And in 2023? In 2023, that number was even more lopsided, with Wilson being targeted 168 times versus Allen Lazard’s 49, <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/nyj/2023.htm" rel="noopener">good for a 119 target difference</a>.</p><p>Goodness, in 2023, <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/nyj/2024.htm" rel="noopener">Breece Hall was targeted 95 times as a receiver</a>, which is still 46 more times than Lazard was targeted.</p><p>With Adams now in place, the Jets should finally be able to field a more complementary offensive attack, with two wide receivers capable of earning double-digit targets per game while Lazard and Hall settle into more complementary roles in the passing game. Factor in Rodgers, who has experience throwing passes to all five men, and who knows, maybe the Jets really will put it all together down the stretch and become a certified playoff team if everyone can rapidly get on the same page.</p><figure class="op-interactive"></figure><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Being familiar with both Rodgers and Hackett, Adams should fit smoothly into the offense and be available to play whenever his hamstring injury is fully behind him.</p><p>With him now on the roster, Adams will likely assume Mike Williams’ spot in the starting lineup next to leading receivers Garrett Wilson and Lazard. Coming off a season-ending torn ACL in 2023, Williams has underwhelmed thus far in New York with just 146 receiving yards through the first six games.</p><p>The Jets will desperately hope that Adams can rekindle his chemistry with Rodgers and give life to an otherwise listless offense that has put up just 18.8 points per game so far, 20th in the league.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

As he previewed the Texans’ Week 7 matchup against the Green Bay Packers, Ryans emphasized that the outcome may largely depend on how well the Houston defense can contain Love.</p><p>“Going against Jordan Love this week, he will be the best quarterback we’ve seen this year,” the Texans <a href="https://x.com/jonmalexander/status/1845896885619282119" rel="noopener">head coach said</a>. “It will be a really, really tough matchup.”</p><p>Ryans’ assertion stands out as bold but carries weight. Love ranks second in the league with 12 passing touchdowns and an average of 282.7 yards per game, all while recovering from a knee injury he suffered at the end of Green Bay’s Week 1 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Brazil.</p><h2><b>Jordan Love gets huge praise from DeMeco Ryans</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Packers-Jordan-Love-against-the-Cardinals.jpg"><figcaption>Tork Mason / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Love comes off a breakout 2023 season, throwing for over 4,000 yards and 32 touchdowns in his first year as the Packers’ starter. While he still makes some costly mistakes, the Texans will look to exploit those vulnerabilities. Despite this, Ryans’ viewpoint aligns with a growing consensus about the Green Bay quarterback’s potential.</p><p>The second-year starter is fresh off his best performance of the season. Love passed for 258 yards and four touchdowns in a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/packers-news-jordan-love-reveals-awesome-moment-from-cardinals-beatdown">34-13 victory over the Arizona Cardinals</a>, completing 22 of his 32 attempts.</p><p>DeMeco Ryans’ defense stifled former MVP favorite Josh Allen, limiting him to a career-low 30 percent completion rate during their <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/texans-overreactions-thrilling-victory-over-bills">Week 5 victory over the Buffalo Bills</a>. In their subsequent game, the Texans intercepted 2024 No. 3 overall draft pick Drake Maye three times, dominating the New England Patriots with a 41-21 victory.</p><p>Ryans implied that Jordan Love may outperform Josh Allen in their upcoming matchup. Allen, widely regarded as one of the league’s top quarterbacks, struggled during a recent game against the Texans.</p><p>Love, who hasn’t played in every game this season, has shown promise, but suggesting he could surpass Allen’s performance has sparked controversy and speculation among fans and analysts alike.</p><h2><b>Ryans putting Love over Josh Allen</b></h2><p>Allen struggled against Houston, completing just 9 of 30 passes for a mere 131 yards and one touchdown. These statistics fall short of his usual performance levels.</p><p>According to ESPN stats analyst Alaina Getzenberg, Allen’s 30% completion rate marks the lowest for any quarterback with 30 or more attempts in the last three decades.</p><p>Texans safety Calen Bullock, who caught Maye’s first career interception, recognizes that they’ll face a higher level of competition this week.</p><p>“Jordan Love is a talented, talented quarterback. I think everybody knows that. He’s in a good area with Green Bay. He has a good receiver corps that he believes in. A lot of passing out of those guys, and we know we got to be up for that challenge,” said Bullock via Sam Warren of Houston Chronicle.</p><p>Love has thrown 12 passing touchdowns in just four games this season, missing two games due to a sprained MCL. His total ties him for the second-most in the league alongside Joe Burrow and places him just three touchdowns behind NFL leader Baker Mayfield, who has 15. Love’s touchdown count through his first four games mirrors some of the MVP seasons of both Aaron Rodgers and Brett Favre.</p><p>The showdown between C.J. Stroud and Jordan Love is set to be one of the NFL’s top quarterback battles this season, reinforcing Ryans’ statement. The two squads will meet at Lambeau Field at 1 p.m. Eastern, with the game airing on CBS and streaming on Paramount+.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Packers are averaging 3.6 touchdowns per game over their last three outings since Love’s return from injury.

Green Bay will monitor the second-year wideout’s status throughout the week. He is considered week-to-week, which is a positive sign for Love and the offense.</p><p>Coming off a solid performance in Week 4 against the Minnesota Vikings, Wicks became a hot commodity in the Green Bay scheme. He hauled in five of his 13 targets for 78 yards and two touchdowns. The heavy production tapered off, though, as the Packers wide receiver trio got healthy. While Love has been benefitting from the recent emergence of tight end Tucker Kraft, the depth that Wicks will bring when he returns could be a huge advantage for the Packers.</p><h2><b>Packers are deep at wide receiver</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Romeo-Doubs-Christian-Watson-Jayden-Reed-Emanuel-Wilson.jpg"><figcaption>Dan Powers/USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Packers offense continued to be a stout unit against the Cardinals.

While finding paydirt twice is impressive for any player, Jaire Alexander says <a href="https://x.com/ByRyanWood/status/1845570624732950752" rel="noopener">he saw it coming a mile away</a>, via Ryan Wood of USA Today.</p><p>“I told Doubs before the game that he was going to have two touchdowns,” Alexander said. “I don’t know if he told y’all that because he’s kind of quiet. But I said that. I’m happy for him, he deserves it.”</p><p>Doubs’ suspension was due to him intentionally missing practice. He was unhappy with his role in the offense. Both sides met after the incident to get on the same page. It seems that heart-to-heart worked out, as <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/packers-news-romeo-doubs-scores-td-return-suspension">Doubs was a major part of the offensive gameplan</a> in Week 6.</p><p>Even with his breakout game against the Cardinals, Doubs’ numbers are down from his standout 2023 campaign. That season, Doubs caught 59 passes for 674 yards and eight touchdowns, all career-highs. Through five games in 2024, the wide receiver has 15 catches for 218 yards and two touchdowns. Week 6 marked the first time Doubs found the end zone in 2024 while he has yet to break 100 yards receiving.</p><p>But maybe his two touchdown outburst is exactly what the doctor ordered. Jaire Alexander certainly thinks he does. While he won’t find the end zone twice every game, Doubs has re-claimed his spot in Green Bay’s offense.</p><p>If the offensive gameplan remains the same, it’s a win-win for both sides. Romeo Doubs gets his requested bump while Green Bay gives Jordan Love another strong receiver to throw to. Now 4-2 on the season, the Packers are looking to pile on even more points against the Houston Texans in Week 7.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

In his second catch of the game, Doubs <a href="https://x.com/TomPelissero/status/1845521514080407875" rel="noopener">found the end zone on an 11-yard strike</a> from Jordan Love that required him to break a tackle on the far sideline before diving in.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">From suspension to the end zone: Welcome back, Romeo Doubs. <a href="https://t.co/y4Rz84J3aj">pic.twitter.com/y4Rz84J3aj</a></p><p>— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) <a href="https://twitter.com/TomPelissero/status/1845521514080407875?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 13, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>The touchdown was the second of the game for Love, who hit slot receiver Jayden Reed for a short score in the first quarter. Doubs’ score helped the Packers build a two-touchdown lead over Kyler Murray and the Cardinals, whose offense struggled to gain momentum in the first half. Love would later find Christian Watson on a deep seam route for his third passing score before halftime.</p><p>The touchdown was Doubs’ first of the 2024 season and 13th of his career. The Nevada product last found paydirt in a Wild Card playoff game against the Dallas Cowboys in January.</p><h2>Packers suspend Romeo Doubs for one game</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Romeo-Doubs-1.jpg"><figcaption>Steve Roberts-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>While the score was nice for Doubs in his return, the 24-year-old is still likely on thin ice with Matt LaFleur and the Packers coaching staff. The wideout admitted he regretted his actions leading to his suspension but assuredly has a lot of ground to make up to regain the respect of his teammates.</p><p>In one of the most surprising developments of the young season, Doubs was suspended for Week 5 for skipping a mandatory team practice due to reportedly being upset with his lack of targets in the passing game. The Packers officially listed his suspension as a punishment for <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/packers-news-romeo-doubs-plan-after-suspension">“conduct detrimental to the team.”</a></p><p>Before the Week 6 meeting against the Cardinals, Doubs caught 12 of his 20 targets for 169 yards and zero touchdowns. His target share at the time of his suspension was third on the team behind Reed and Dontayvion Wicks.</p><p>Once Love returned from injury in Week 4 against the Minnesota Vikings, Doubs had his most productive game of the year from a workload perspective with eight targets and four receptions for 39 yards. In the previous game, with backup quarterback Malik Willis under center, the 24-year-old had just two targets and one catch for 18 yards.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Wide receiver Christian Watson, who <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/packers-christian-watson-gets-positive-injury-timeline-update">went down with an ankle injury in Week 4</a> against the Vikings, is <a href="https://x.com/RapSheet/status/1845486252146958600" rel="noopener">active and ready to go</a> today, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.</p><p>“Packers WR Christian Watson, dealing with a low-ankle sprain, is active today for Green Bay. A big lift,” Rapoport reported on X, formerly Twitter.</p><p>There was one more big name missing from the Packers’ list of inactives before the game. Cornerback Jaire Alexander, who had been dealing with a groin injury that has kept him out for the last two games, <a href="https://www.packers.com/news/packers-cardinals-inactives-week-6-2024" rel="noopener">is also active</a>, per the team’s official website.</p><p>Watson will give a big boost to the wide receiver core, as the North Dakota State product gives the offense a level of explosiveness that they lack at times when he is out of the lineup. He has just five catches in four games this season, but is over 1,100 career yards and 13 touchdowns in a little over two seasons.</p><p>Alexander is the Packers’ top cornerback and one of the best defensive players on a team that has been playing good football as the season has gone on. He had a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/titans-news-will-levis-pick-6-fans-calling-benching">pick-six in Week 3 against the Titans</a>, helping lift Green Bay to a win over Tennessee. Alexander has 12 career interceptions, but that one was his first that he has taken back to the house.</p><p>Alexander will likely be tasked with guarding star rookie Marvin Harrison Jr. on the outside and will be trying to shut down Kyler Murray’s top target in his first game back. It will be interesting to monitor how much work Watson gets on the offensive side, as the Packers have gotten good production out of Jayden Reed and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/packers-news-matt-lafleur-gives-romeo-doubs-tucker-kraft-updates-for-week-6">tight end Tucker Kraft</a> in his absence.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

As the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cardinals-news-arizona-rules-out-darius-robinson-zay-jones-packers-clash">Cardinals continue to narrow down their injury list</a>, veteran kicker Matt Prater <a href="https://x.com/RapSheet/status/1845344466753753164" rel="noopener">has been sidelined with a knee injury</a>, so they have elevated placekicker Chad Ryland, per Ian Rapoport.</p><p>Ryland came through in a huge way for the Cardinals in Week 5. He drilled a 35-yard field goal with 1:37 remaining in the team’s victory against the San Francisco 49ers. He finished his first appearance of the season three-for-four on field goal attempts, and one extra point. The 24-year-old will likely become a factor again, as the Cardinals meet up with the Green Bay Packers in Week 6.</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/49ers-most-to-blame-for-week-5-loss-to-cardinals">Cardinals proved the doubters wrong against the 49ers</a>. Kyler Murray and the offense struck gold early, when Murray dashed for a 50-yard touchdown to put them up 7-0 in the first quarter. Elijah Higgins later hauled in a fourth-quarter pass from Murray to halt the 49ers’ comeback. Green Bay has a tendency to get into high-scoring shootouts this season, so the Cardinals offense will have to come out with the same fiery demeanor.</p><h2><b>Chad Ryland will be the Cardinals’ kicker for Week 6</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Chad-Ryland.jpg"><figcaption>Darren Yamashita-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Cardinals have the offensive firepower to storm downfield and give Ryland more opportunities to prove himself. Murray will likely look Marvin Harrison Jr.’s way a lot more than he did in Week 5, as the 49ers defense had the rookie wide receiver fully contained with two catches for 36 yards.</p><p>While Prater is a proven veteran, the Cardinals can’t be too sure of the severity of his ailment. Which means that their current backup plan could potentially become their permanent option. He has an opportunity to be the hero once again in a crucial NFC matchup for the Cardinals.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

This move comes after the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/packers-matt-lafleur-celebrates-unlikely-stars-of-week-5-win-over-rams">Packers’ 24-19 victory over the Los Angeles Rams</a> in Week 5, improving their record to 3-2.</p><p>Musgrave, who had become an important part of the Packers’ offense, will miss at least four games as he recovers. Head coach Matt LaFleur hinted at the possibility earlier in the week, <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/41722513/packers-te-luke-musgrave-ankle-likely-another-month" rel="noopener">telling ESPN’s Rob Demovsky</a>, “The fact that he even suited up this last game was pretty impressive. I don’t think we understood how serious it was, and so, he’s going to be down for a minute.” Musgrave’s absence leaves a significant gap in the offense, as he had been a reliable target in the passing game.</p><h2><b>Packers sign John FitzPatrick amid Luke Musgrave injured reserve decision</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/John-FitzPatrick-87-reacts-during-the-first-half-of-an-NFL-International-Series-game.jpg"><figcaption>© Peter van den Berg-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>To address the loss, the Packers signed tight end John FitzPatrick from the Atlanta Falcons’ practice squad. FitzPatrick, standing at 6-foot-7 and weighing 262 pounds, was drafted by the Falcons in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL Draft. He played in nine games for Atlanta, recording one reception for 12 yards. During his time at the University of Georgia, he appeared in 38 games, making 13 starts, with 17 receptions for 200 yards and a touchdown. FitzPatrick will wear No. 86 for Green Bay.</p><p>The Packers will continue to rely on Tucker Kraft to take the majority of the snaps at tight end, with FitzPatrick and other depth players stepping up to help fill the void left by Musgrave’s injury. Kraft impressed in the Week 5 win against the Rams, recording 88 yards and two touchdowns on four receptions. His expanded role will be crucial as Green Bay, holding a 3-2 record, aims to maintain their momentum heading into <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/packers-news-matt-lafleur-gives-romeo-doubs-tucker-kraft-updates-for-week-6">Week 6 against the Arizona Cardinals</a>. While no specific timeline has been provided for Musgrave’s return, his placement on injured reserve ensures he will miss at least four games, providing a critical opportunity for the younger tight ends to step up.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
