Green Bay residents will watch the Packers take on the Los Angeles Rams on Thanksgiving Eve, a game that arrives without Rams star receiver Puka Nacua, who has been placed on injured reserve after sustaining MCL and PCL sprains in his right knee. According to wisportsheroics.com, Nacua must sit out at least four games, making him unavailable for the meeting with Green Bay. The Rams also remain without Davante Adams, who suffered a ruptured hamstring in Week 6 and is unlikely to return for the matchup, further weakening the California club’s passing attack.
The loss of Nacua and Adams could benefit the Packers’ defensive backs, but the game still presents a tough test as the Rams have struggled to meet early‑season expectations. Green Bay’s own schedule is demanding, with three of its next four opponents—Minnesota Vikings, Los Angeles Rams and Buffalo Bills—holding winning records, while the New Orleans Saints are the lone exception, per the same source.
Off the field, the Packers are reportedly exploring two high‑profile trade scenarios as they seek to shore up an interior offensive line and a depleted backfield. Philadelphia’s defensive lineman Jordan Davis has been sent to the Jacksonville Jaguars, fueling speculation that the Eagles could move three‑time Pro Bowl guard Landon Dickerson. wisportsheroics.com notes that the Packers have been linked to Dickerson, who could become available if Philadelphia receives an offer that meets its asking price. Insider Zachary Rotman of FanSided.com predicts Green Bay could strike a deal, arguing that Dickerson would address lingering questions about the Packers’ rushing attack, which currently ranks among the NFL’s weakest. However, the article also cautions that Dickerson has dealt with a nagging injury and inconsistent play, suggesting the team may prefer to wait for its own injured linemen to return.
Meanwhile, a separate injury to running back Josh Jacobs—requiring surgery on a ring finger and potentially landing him on injured reserve—has prompted the Packers to look at veteran running back Derrick Henry. wisportsheroics.com reports that Green Bay has called the Baltimore Ravens several times over the past week about acquiring Henry, with the asking price thought to be comparable to the package the Colts are seeking for Jonathan Taylor. Henry, now 32 and turning 33 before the playoffs, has recorded 689 rushing yards this season at 3.9 yards per carry, down from his 1,595 yards and 5.2 average in 2025. While adding a proven veteran could boost the backfield, the potential cost—a second‑round pick or more—represents a significant gamble for a team already in contention.
What’s next: The Packers host the Rams on Thanksgiving Eve and then travel to face division rival Minnesota Vikings in the following week. The team’s front office is expected to continue trade talks before the NFL deadline as it evaluates options to improve the offensive line and running game.
