Green Bay Packers begin signing players to their 2026 practice squad

The Green Bay Packers have begun the process of building their practice squad following the reduction of the active roster to 53 players. General manager Brian Gutekunst is authorized to sign up to 16 players, with an additional spot available for a member of the International Player Pathway program. The organization must wait until the waiver claim deadline at noon CT on Monday, August 31, to finalize signings from other teams. Following the conclusion of the waiver period, the team will proceed with internal roster adjustments. This development arrives one day after the team submitted its initial regular-season roster. The Packers open their season on September 13 against the Minnesota Vikings.
