Reports: LB/S Isaiah Simmons signs with Packers

Posted on | by Field Level Media

With the NFL draft in the rearview mirror, the Green Bay Packers signed free agent linebacker/safety Isaiah Simmons to a one-year contract on Monday, according to multiple reports.

Simmons reportedly visited the Packers two weeks ago. On Sunday, Simmons posted a mouse trap with a piece of cheese on social media.

A first-round pick (No. 8 overall) of the Arizona Cardinals in 2020, Simmons spent the previous two seasons with the New York Giants.

Simmons, who has never missed a game in his five NFL seasons, started just once in 2024 and played in only 17 percent of the Giants’ defensive snaps, recording 21 tackles with one forced fumble.

In 2023, New York moved Simmons from linebacker, where he played in Arizona, to safety. He started four games and appeared in one-third of the defensive snaps.

He started 37 games in three years with the Cardinals but was dealt to the Giants for a seventh-round draft pick in August 2023.

In 84 career games, Simmons has 329 tackles with 8.5 sacks, 15 tackles for loss, nine forced fumbles and five interceptions.

Report: Packers re-signing LB Isaiah McDuffie to 2-year deal

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Green Bay Packers are re-signing outside linebacker Isaiah McDuffie to a two-year, $8 million contract, ESPN reported Monday.

Incentives can boost the value of the deal to $9.5 million for the 25-year-old unrestricted free agent, per the report.

McDuffie started all 17 games in 2024 and recorded a career-high 97 tackles, three passes defensed and one forced fumble.

He has 228 tackles, one sack and one fumble recovery in 63 career games (26 starts) since Green Bay drafted him in the sixth round in 2021 out of Boston College.

Packers rookie RB MarShawn Lloyd out with appendicitis

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Green Bay Packers rookie running back MarShawn Lloyd missed Friday’s practice due to appendicitis and won’t be available on Sunday against the Chicago Bears.

The Packers designated Lloyd to return from injured reserve on Monday and he was limited at practice Wednesday and Thursday with ankle and hamstring injuries.

Lloyd, 23, landed on injured reserve with a high ankle sprain on Sept. 17. The third-round draft pick has played in only one game, rushing six times for 15 yards and catching one pass for 3 yards in a 16-10 Week 2 win against the Indianapolis Colts.

Packers coach Matt LaFleur told reporters the team will talk to the league about a possible extension to Lloyd’s 21-day practice window to return to the active roster, considering appendicitis recoveries can take two or three weeks.

Offensive lineman Jordan Morgan (shoulder) also will miss Sunday’s game. Defensive lineman Colby Wooden (shoulder) is doubtful while cornerback Jaire Alexander (knee) and safety Evan Williams (hamstring) are questionable.
