Rashan Gary Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Vikings vs Packers game on Sunday with our National Football League injury report.Nov 11, 2025
Logs four tackles vs. Philadelphia
Gary posted four tackles (one solo) during the Packers' 10-7 loss to the Eagles on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Gary and the rest of the Packers' pass rushers weren't able to get to Jalen Hurts for a sack during Monday's loss. Gary hasn't logged a sack in each of his last two games, but he still leads the Packers with 7.5 sacks through nine regular-season games, which is tied for seventh most in the NFL.
Oct 27, 2025
Pass-rush dominance continues
Gary recorded four total tackles (three solo), including 2.0 sacks, during Sunday night's 35-25 win over the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
The Michigan product was one of two Packers to get after the quarterback in Week 8, taking down Aaron Rodgers in the first and fourth quarters. Gary has quietly been one of the league's most productive pass rushers this season, recording 24 total tackles, including 7.5 sacks (fifth-most in the NFL), and one forced fumble through the team's first seven games. The edge-rush tandem of Gary and Micah Parsons is expected to continue creating problems for opposing quarterbacks heading into the Week 9 matchup against the Panthers.
Sep 30, 2025
Quiet night against Dallas
Gary registered four tackles (two solo) during the Packers' 40-40 tie to the Cowboys on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Gary entered Week 4 having logged at least 1.0 sacks in each of the first three games of the regular season. However, he was unable to extend his sack streak to four games and didn't even register a quarterback hit in a game that saw the Packers defense struggle to contain Dak Prescott and the Cowboys' offense. Even so, Gary's 4.5 sacks on the season is tied with Carl Granderson and Nik Bonitto for third most in the NFL behind Brian Burns and Byron Young (5.0 each). The Packers are on a bye for Week 5 and will return for Week 6 on Sunday, Oct. 12 against a Bengals team that yielded three sacks against the Broncos in Week 4.
Sep 22, 2025
Tacks on two sacks
Gary recorded three solo tackles and 2.0 sacks in Sunday's 13-10 loss to the Browns.
ANALYSIS
Gary has now recorded at least one sack in all three games this season, and his 4.5 sacks lead all players with one game to play in Week 3.
Sep 13, 2025
Collects another sack
Gary logged three tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, during the Packers' 27-18 win over the Commanders on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Gary collected one of the Packers' four sacks late in the third quarter, when he took down Jayden Daniels for a 10-yard loss. Gary is already up to 2.5 sacks through the first two games of the 2025 season and is well on his way to surpassing his total during the 2024 campaign (7.5 sacks across 17 regular-season games).
Sep 8, 2025
Starts with 1.5 sacks
Gary recorded seven tackles (three solo) and 1.5 sacks in Sunday's 27-13 victory over the Lions.
ANALYSIS
Gary immediately benefited from the presence of Micah Parsons on the other side of the defensive line, tying his career high in the tackles column while recording more sacks than he put up in any game during the previous campaign. Gary is still seeking the first double-digit sack season of his career, and with offenses paying plenty of attention to Parsons he might be primed to get there in 2025.
Aug 25, 2025
Ready for action
Gary made a solo tackle in Saturday's 20-7 preseason victory over the Seahawks.
ANALYSIS
Gary -- along with nearly every other healthy starter on Green Bay's defense -- took the field for the start of Saturday's contest and departed it after Seattle's first drive. Gary remains the top pass rusher for the Packers and will attempt to reach double digits in the sack department for the first time in his career.
Jan 20, 2025
Records 7.5 sacks in 2024
Gary finished the 2024 season with 47 tackles (26 solo), including 7.5 sacks, one pass breakup, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 17 regular-season contests.
ANALYSIS
Gary started all 17 games for Green Bay and matched his previous career high with his 47 tackles. The 2019 first-rounder has logged at least 5.0 sacks in five consecutive seasons and is up to 39.0 for his career. Gary was named to his first Pro Bowl this past season and has three years left on a four-year, $96 million extension he signed with the Packers in October of 2023. Gary is equally as good defending the run as he is at rushing the passer off the edge for Green Bay.
Dec 9, 2024
Sacks Goff in Week 14
Gary logged three tackles (one solo), including 1.0 sacks, during Green Bay's 34-31 loss to Detroit.
ANALYSIS
Gary got to Jared Goff late in the first quarter for a three-yard loss, which led to the Lions punting on the next play. Gary logged 2.5 sacks over the Packers' first nine games of the regular season, but in the four games since the Week 10 bye he's tallied 3.0 sacks. He'll look to add to his total in Week 15 against Geno Smith and the Seahawks on Sunday, Dec. 15.
Oct 21, 2024
Logs sack vs. Texans
Gary recorded five total tackles (one solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 24-22 win over the Texans.
ANALYSIS
Gary has had an underwhelming start to the Packers' 2024 campaign, having recorded just 14 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defended before Sunday's win. However, his performance in Week 7 suggests he may be returning to his form from the previous two seasons. Gary is on pace to have just over 36 pressures across 17 regular-season games this year, which would be his lowest total since his rookie season in 2019. Expect the Michigan product to continue serving as Green Bay's top edge rusher again in Week 8, when the Packers travel to Jacksonville.
Sep 7, 2024
Grabs Week 1 sack
Gary picked up three tackles (one solo) and a sack in Friday's 34-29 loss to the Eagles.
ANALYSIS
Gary had not recorded a full sack since Week 12 of last season, but he snapped that streak in his first opportunity to do so in the current campaign. Gary will play with his hand in the dirt more frequently in 2024, as the Packers transitioned from a 3-4 to a 4-3 defense over the offseason.
Jan 22, 2024
Finishes with nine sacks
Gary recorded 44 tackles (23 solo), 9.0 sacks, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and two pass deflections over 17 games in 2023.
ANALYSIS
Gary appeared well on his way to reaching double digits in the sack department for the first time, but he did not make a mark in that column after Week 13. He still managed to appear in every game on the schedule after seeing his 2022 campaign cut short by a torn ACL, and he will have a normal offseason heading into the 2024 season.
Dec 9, 2023
Cleared to play versus Giants
Gary (shoulder) was a full participant in Saturday's practice and carries no injury designation ahead of Monday's game against the Giants, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
ANALYSIS
Gary has dealt with a shoulder issue since Week 11 but has not missed a game since then. He logged back-to-back limited practice sessions to start the week, but finished with a full practice Saturday and is good to go for Monday's game. Gary is half a sack away from surpassing his career-high 9.5 sacks set in 2021.
Dec 8, 2023
Limited work Friday
Gary (shoulder) was a limited participant in Friday's practice, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Gary was held to limited work for the second consecutive practice, as he continues to deal with a lingering shoulder issue. The edge rusher's limited practice sessions seem to be more precautionary than anything, as he has yet to miss a game this season.
Dec 7, 2023
Injury designation returns
Gary (shoulder) was a limited participant during practice Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Gary popped up on the Packers' injury report with a shoulder injury during Week 11 prep and has continued to carry it week-to-week despite not missing a game. He'll likely have no problem suiting up Monday against the Giants, although his participation level during practice Friday and Saturday may still be worth monitoring.
Dec 1, 2023
Ready for Sunday night
Gary (shoulder) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday night's game against the Chiefs, Wes Hodklewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Gary logged a week of limited practice sessions after his monster outing in Week 12, but it now seems as if his shoulder issue won't stop him from suiting up Sunday night. The veteran edge rusher has appeared in 11 games for the Packers this season, tallying 30 total tackles, including 8.5 sacks and six tackles for loss, while also forcing two fumbles.
Nov 29, 2023
Limited at practice
Gary (shoulder) was a limited participant at Green Bay's practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Gary was a menace in the Packers' 29-22 win over the Lions on Thanksgiving, matching his season-high three sacks in the victory, but he may have picked up a shoulder injury as well. His status is worth monitoring as the week goes on and the linebacker will have two more practice sessions to increase his participation prior to Sunday's matchup with Kansas City.
Nov 24, 2023
Gets busy in victory
Gary registered seven tackles (five solo), three sacks, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in Thursday's 29-22 victory over the Lions.
ANALYSIS
Gary tore the ACL in his right knee at Ford Field in 2022, and that may have provided the motivation he needed to absolutely destroy Detroit's game plan in his latest trip to the stadium. He is now up to 8.5 sacks on the season, and with six games to go he is easily on pace to surpass the career-high 9.5 sacks he registered during the 2021 campaign.
Nov 21, 2023
Full go at practice
Gary (shoulder) was a full participant on Tuesday's practice estimate.
ANALYSIS
Gary was limited at Monday's walk-through, but it looks like the Packers were just erring on the side of caution. Barring any setbacks, he should be ready to take on his usual role on the edge Thursday versus the Lions.
Nov 21, 2023
Logs sack in win
Gary (shoulder) recorded two total tackles (one solo), including one tackle for loss and one sack in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
The sixth-highest paid edge rusher in football broke his four-game sack-less streak Sunday, as he logged a crucial sack late in the fourth quarter that forced Los Angeles to punt the ball back to Green Bay. Through 10 games, Gary has recorded 23 total tackles, including six tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks, while also recording 36 total pressures. Expect the Michigan product to continue causing problems for opposing quarterbacks for the remainder of the season.
Nov 19, 2023
Active Sunday
Gary (shoulder) is active for Sunday's matchup with the Chargers, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official website reports.
ANALYSIS
Gary popped up on the injury report Friday with a shoulder issue, but it was ultimately a minor injury and he'll play against Los Angeles. The linebacker will look to snap his four-game streak without a sack.
Nov 17, 2023
Questionable Sunday
Gary (shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Gary popped up on Green Bay's injury report as a limited participant in Friday's practice with a shoulder issue. Head coach Matt LeFleur told reporters Friday that "there was a little mishap at practice and we'll see where we're at Sunday," per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. If the star edge rusher were to miss the Packers' Week 11 contest, Lukas Van Ness and Kingsley Enagbare would likely see an increased workload.
Oct 30, 2023
Inks huge four-year extension
Gary signed a four-year, $107 million contract extension with the Packers on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Gary's extension includes a signing bonus of nearly $35 million, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The 2019 first-round pick has rebounded well from a torn ACL that cut short his 2022 campaign in Week 9, having already notched 4.5 sacks to go with 15 total tackles and one pass defensed in seven appearances this season. The four-year extension secures Gary's place as Green Bay's top pass rusher for the foreseeable future.
Oct 10, 2023
Records sack in loss
Gary picked up four tackles (two solo) and one sack in the Packers' 17-13 loss to the Raiders in Week 5.
ANALYSIS
Gary's four tackles were his most through five games, and he also saw his highest snap count with 30 (47 percent). Thus, his workload appears to be trending in the right direction. Also, the star edge-rusher is now up to 4.5 sacks on the year. The Packers have Week 6 off, so he will now shift his focus to Week 7 versus the Broncos.
Sep 27, 2023
Expected to play Thursday
Gary (knee) is expected to play against the Lions on Thursday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Gary will not carry an injury designation into Thursday's matchup as he is still recovering from a torn ACL that has limited his snap count so far this season. The 25-year-old will look to see increased play time and build off of last week's three-sack performance.
Sep 25, 2023
Estimated as limited participant
Gary (knee) was listed as a limited participant on the Packers' estimated injury report Monday.
ANALYSIS
Gary played in just 23 of 61 defensive snaps in Sunday's 18-17 win over the Saints as he ramps up from a torn ACL injury he sustained in Week 9 last year, but was still able to register a career-high three sacks. Gary is expected to remain on a snap count in the early games of the 2023 season and could continue to be limited with the Packers facing off against the Lions on Thursday night.
Sep 25, 2023
Racks up career-high three sacks
Gary recorded three solo tackles and three sacks in Sunday's 18-17 victory over the Saints.
ANALYSIS
With the Packers easing Gary into a bigger workload coming off a knee injury that cut short his 2022 campaign, he was on the field for only 23 of Green Bay's 61 defensive snaps in Week 3. However, he clearly made the most of his opportunities, getting to the opponent's quarterback a career-high three times. Gary clearly made a big impact in Week 3, and provided his snap count increases, that could be a more frequent occurrence moving forward.
Sep 22, 2023
Good to go vs. Saints
Gary (knee) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game versus New Orleans, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
As suspected, Gary's limitations at practice over the week were mostly precautionary, and he'll play in Week 3. He'll look to make life difficult for Derek Carr on Sunday across from Preston Smith.
Sep 20, 2023
Logs limited practice Wednesday
Gary (knee) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Kassidy Hill of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Gary played more snaps in Week 2 (22) than in Week 1 (11), so it's possible his being held out of some drills is purely precautionary. He'll get two more chances to register a full practice before Green Bay's final injury report Friday.
Sep 15, 2023
Cleared to play Week 2
Gary (knee) doesn't have a designation ahead of Sunday's Week 2 game against the Falcons.
ANALYSIS
Gary was limited in his Week 1 return from ACL surgery, seeing just 11 defensive snaps, and we should expect the Packers to continue to slowly up his playing time in the coming weeks. Preston Smith and Kingsley Enagbare started at outside linebacker last week against the Bears.
Sep 13, 2023
Still easing back in
Gary (knee) was listed as a limited participant during practice on Wednesday's injury report, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Wood was limited Week 1 in his return from a torn ACL and played just 11 snaps on defense against the Bears. As for whether he'll remain limited Sunday against the Falcons, according to Wood, Matt LaFleur stated, "We'll see. We're still going to be smart with him. We have a long road in front of us."
Sep 11, 2023
Sees action Sunday
Gary played 12 snaps in Sunday's 38-20 victory over the Bears.
ANALYSIS
Gary did not make a mark in the box score, but he did take the field for the first time since tearing his ACL last December. Gary is Green Bay's top pass rusher and will undoubtedly see his playing time pick up as the season wears on.
Sep 8, 2023
Looks good for Sunday
Gary (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's contest in Chicago, Wes Hodklewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Gary tore his ACL during Green Bay's 2022 Week 9 loss to the Lions. The 25-year-old was a limited participant in Packers' practice Wednesday, Thursday and Friday this week, but it seems as if he'll be good-to-go for Week 1. In his nine games last season, Gary recorded 32 tackles, six sacks and one forced fumble.
Sep 6, 2023
Limited in practice
Gary (knee) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Gary's status for Week 1 is still up in the air as he is still working his way back from a torn ACL suffered last November. While head coach Matt LaFleur has already announced that the 2019 first-round pick will be playing on a pitch count for the start of the season, as the team looks to conserve their top pass rusher's health for later in the season.
Aug 30, 2023
Limited to start year
Head coach Matt LaFleur indicated Wednesday that Gary will be on a "pitch count" to start the year, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
No surprise here, as Gary is returning relatively quickly from last November's ACL tear. The fact that he is even ready to play in the opener in Chicago is great news for the Packers, as the 25-year-old is one of the linchpins of the team's defense. It remains to be seen what type of snap count he will see in Week 1.
Aug 24, 2023
Set to miss preseason finale
Gary will not play Saturday against the Seahawks, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official sitereports.
ANALYSIS
Gary has missed time during camp with a knee injury, but he returned and participated in team drills Tuesday. With an eye toward having the Michigan product ready Week 1 against the Bears, it appears the team will take a cautious approach with their 2019 first-round selection.
Aug 22, 2023
Participating in team drills
Gary (knee) participated in team drills at Tuesday's practice, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
It's the first time Gary has done team drills this summer, so he appears on track to be ready to play Week 1 against the Bears. The 25-year-old tore his ACL in Week 9 last season. He has 20.5 sacks over the last three seasons and is entering the final year of his rookie contract.
Aug 13, 2023
Yet to be cleared for team drills
Gary (knee) remains sidelined at practice and may not be cleared this week, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Gary is still working his way back from the torn ACL he suffered in November and the team has been easing back slowly ahead of the 2023 campaign. The linebacker recorded 32 tackles, including six sacks, while adding a forced fumble and a fumble recovery over nine contests last season.
Aug 7, 2023
Activated from PUP list
Coach Matt LaFleur said that Gary (knee) will come off the active/PUP list Monday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
LaFleur added that Gary will be limited primarily to individual drills after being activated Monday, suggesting that the pass rusher is still working his way back from a torn ACL suffered in November. Nonetheless, this is a step in the right direction for Gary and bodes well for his availability for Green Bay's regular-season opener, Sept. 10 in Chicago.
Jul 21, 2023
Opens camp on PUP list
Gary (knee) was placed on the PUP list Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Gary will open training camp on the sidelines as he continues to work his way back from the torn ACL he suffered in November. The defensive lineman is eligible to return to practice and play at any point this preseason, though the Packers are likely going to be cautious with the 25-year-old ahead of 2023.
May 23, 2023
Rehabbing to start OTAs
Gary (knee) didn't practice Tuesday at OTAs, but he was active on the sidelines doing rehab work, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Gary had six sacks in the first nine games last year before suffering a season-ending ACL tear against the Lions. The star pass rusher's status for the beginning of the 2023 campaign remains unclear, but it's encouraging to see him active this early in the offseason.
Nov 9, 2022
Placed on IR
The Packers placed Gary (knee) on injured reserve Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Gary is slated to miss the remainder of the 2022 campaign after tearing his ACL against the Lions in Week 9, so his placement on IR was simply transaction. The fourth-year pass rusher will finish the season with 32 tackles, six sacks, one pass defense, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across nine appearances.
Nov 7, 2022
Tears ACL in Week 9
Gary was diagnosed with a torn ACL after exiting Sunday's 15-9 loss to the Lions and will undergo an MRI later Monday as the Packers look to determine whether he's dealing with additional damage to his right knee, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Initial scans on Gary's knee confirmed the Packers' worst fears, as the team's top edge rusher is now done for the season. Given the timing of his injury and the timeline typically associated with ACL tear recoveries, Gary could be at risk of missing the start of the 2023 season as well, even if the upcoming MRI reveals no extra damage. Gary will conclude the 2022 campaign with 32 tackles, six sacks and one forced fumble in nine games.
Nov 6, 2022
Seen on crutches
Gary (knee) was spotted with crutches after Sunday's loss to the Lions, Nick Menner of WLUK Fox 11 reports.
ANALYSIS
Gary was carted off to the Packers locker room in the second half of the game and was unable to return. Any extended absence from the the fourth-year linebacker would be a blow to the Packers' defense . while also pushing rookie Kingsley Enagbare into a larger role.
Nov 6, 2022
Questionable to return Sunday
Gary is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Lions with a knee injury.
ANALYSIS
Gary suffered an apparent knee injury during the second half of Sunday's contest versus Detroit and was carted to the locker room shortly after. If Gary is unable to return for the rest of the afternoon, Kingsley Enagbare is in line for additional snaps while Gary remains sidelined.
Nov 6, 2022
Carted to locker room Sunday
Gary (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Lions.
ANALYSIS
Gary headed to the locker room on a cart after sustaining a knee injury during the third quarter, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. With the 24-year-old recorded out, expect Kingsley Enagbare to take on a bigger role in the second half.
Oct 30, 2022
Available against Bills
Gary (concussion) is active for Sunday's game against the Bills, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Gary sustained a concussion during last week's loss to the Commanders and was unable to practice Wednesday, but he was a full participant during Friday's practice session. It's not yet clear whether he'll have any limitations for Sunday's primetime matchup.
Oct 28, 2022
Logs full practice Friday
Gary (concussion) is questionable for Sunday's primetime matchup against Buffalo, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Gary exited Green Bay's Week 7 loss to Washington due to a concussion and was unable to practice Wednesday while in the league's protocols. However, the Packers' star pass rusher logged a limited session during Thursday's padded practice and upgraded to a full participant Friday. While Gary is trending in the right direction, his official status likely won't be known until closer to Sunday's 8:20 PM ET kickoff. If the fourth-year pro is unable to suit up, Kingsley Enagbare and Jonathan Garvin would be candidates for increased snaps across from Preston Smith.
Oct 27, 2022
Back at practice Thursday
Gary (concussion) was a limited participant in practice Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Gary sustained a concussion during Sunday's loss to the Commanders and was sidelined during practice Wednesday. However, the outside linebacker appears to be progressing in a positive direction, as he was able to work through padded drills Thursday, according to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Gary has recorded 28 tackles and six sacks this season, and he'll still have to clear protocols in order to suit up this Sunday night against Buffalo.
Oct 26, 2022
Concussion confirmed
Gary (concussion) did not practice Wednesday due to a concussion.
ANALYSIS
Gary exited Sunday's loss to Washington after suffering a head injury. Kingsley Enagbare will likely see extra snaps with Gary sidelined.
Oct 23, 2022
Exits early
Gary has left Sunday's game with Washington to be evaluated for a head injury.
ANALYSIS
Gary's absence will be a blow to the Packers' linebacker corps. If he did suffer a concussion, he will have to enter protocols, and his status for Week 8 will be in question. While Gary is sidelined, Kingsley Enagbare will likely see extra snaps.
Oct 17, 2022
Records sixth sack
Gary made four solo tackles and registered a sack in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Gary picked up a toe injury last week, but he took the field Sunday and seemingly was not limited, as he was out there for 84 percent of the defensive snaps -- his second highest mark of the season. Gary is now up to 6.0 sacks on the season, which ties him with five other players and leaves him a half sack out of the league lead.
Oct 16, 2022
Active versus Jets
Gary is active for Sunday's matchup against the Jets, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
After not being listed on Wednesday's initial injury report, Gary logged back-to-back limited sessions to end the week due to a toe issue. However, Green Bay didn't elevate any defensive players for Week 6, suggesting the Packers' star pass rusher was going to suit up despite a questionable tag. Gary has recorded five sacks through five games and will look to continue his strong start against the Jets, who've allowed 12 quarterback takedowns this season.
Oct 14, 2022
Deemed questionable for Sunday
Gary (toe) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Jets, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Gary landed on the injury report Thursday as a limited participant due to a toe issue and remained limited Friday, putting his status for Week 6 in doubt. The 2019 first-round pick has recorded five sacks through the first five games of the season, so his potential absence would be a huge blow to Green Bay's defense. If he's unable to suit up, Kingsley Enagbare and Jonathan Garvin would be candidates for increased snaps, while Preston Smith would step into the No. 1 pass-rusher role.
Oct 13, 2022
Added to injury report
Gary was a limited participant with a toe injury during practice Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Gary appears to have picked up a toe injury during practice Wednesday after not being listed on Green Bay's injury report to open Week 6. The exact nature and severity of this injury are still unclear, so it will be worth monitoring his status during practice Friday. Gary has recorded 22 tackles and a team-high five sacks through the first five games of the season, and his potential absence would leave Kingsley Enagbare and Jonathan Garvin to step up into bigger pass-rushing roles for Sunday's game against the Jets' depleted offensive line.
Oct 3, 2022
Tacks on two more sacks
Gary made seven tackles (four solo), tallied two sacks, forced a fumble and recovered a fumble in Sunday's 27-24 overtime victory over the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
Gary's first sack of the day ensured that he recorded at least one of those in all four games this season, and his second sack netted him both the forced and recovered fumble. With five sacks on the season, Gary finds himself tied for second in that department league-wide and just half a sack behind league leader Alex Highsmith of the Steelers.
Sep 26, 2022
Third sack in three games
Gary registered three tackles (two solo) and a sack in Sunday's victory over the Buccaneers.
ANALYSIS
The Packers have played three games this season, and Gary has recorded a sack in each one. His three sacks tie him for eighth in the league with one game to go in Week 3.
Sep 19, 2022
Grabs another sack
Gary registered two solo tackles and a sack in Sunday's victory over the Bears.
ANALYSIS
Gary did not do much in the tackle department, but he did record his second sack in as many games. Gary was on the field for 83 percent of the defensive plays over the Packers' first two games -- a mark far higher than the career-best 68 percent of the snaps he played a season ago.
Sep 12, 2022
Records sack in opener
Gary registered seven tackles (three solo) and a sack in Sunday's loss to the Vikings.
ANALYSIS
Gary did not register a full sack until Week 4 of the 2021 campaign, but he put on on the board in his first opportunity of the new season. Gary did not reach double digits in the sack column in any of his first three seasons, but he finished with 9.5 sacks last year, and he is off to a good start as he attempts to top that number in 2022.
Apr 29, 2022
Fifth-year option exercised
The Packers exercised Gary's fifth-year option for 2023 on Friday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
With Za'Darius Smith sidelined for the majority of the year due to a back issue, Gary took on a bigger role and shined during the 2021 campaign, notching 47 tackles (27 solo), 9.5 sacks and two forced fumbles across 16 appearances. With Smith in Minnesota now, Gary is poised to lead Green Bay's pash rush during the 2022 season and beyond. Per Fowler, Gary's 2023 salary will be between $10.9 million and $11.7 million, depending on playing time.
Feb 4, 2022
Makes major strides in Year 3
Gary made 47 tackles (27 solo), tallied 9.5 sacks and forced two fumbles over 16 appearances in 2021.
ANALYSIS
Gary increased his sack total from from 2.0 to 5.0 in his second season, and he nearly doubled that mark in his third campaign. Gary finished tied for 18th in sacks in 2021, but that does not tell the whole story, as he tied for fourth in pressures, per Pro Football Reference. It's going to be pretty tough for Gary to double his sack total in his fourth season, but nonetheless, he figures to remain a handful for opposing offensive linemen.
Dec 27, 2021
Tallies two more sacks
Campbell registered three solo tackles and two sacks in the Packers' 24-22 victory over the Browns in Week 16.
ANALYSIS
After being held without a sack in consecutive games, Gary got to the quarterback twice for the second time this season. He is now up to 8.5 sacks on the season, which places him tied for 18th in the league with one game to go in Week 16.

Tacks on another sack
Gary made three tackles (two solo), recorded a sack and forced a fumble in Sunday's 36-28 victory over the Rams.
ANALYSIS
Gary was presumably still feeling the effects of the elbow injury he suffered in Week 10, but that did not stop him from creating a turnover and registering his fifth sack in five appearances. Gary will get extra time to recover with the Packers on bye in Week 13, and he could be back at 100 percent when the Packers return to action in Week 14.

Suits up Sunday
Gary (elbow) is active for Sunday's game against the Rams, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Gary returns to his starting role at linebacker. He missed just one game with the issue.
Nov 26, 2021
Questionable versus Rams
Gary (elbow) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Rob Demovsky of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Gary missed last week's loss to the Vikings as a result of the hyper-extended elbow he suffered in Week 10 against the Seahawks. If he's able to suit up Sunday, Gary would likely return to a starting role at outside linebacker, providing pressure against a Rams line that has struggled in pass protection the past couple weeks.
Nov 21, 2021
Won't play Week 11
Gary (elbow) is listed as inactive Week 11 in Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
This is a difficult break for the Green Bay pass rush, though Gary's absence will allow the likes of La'Darius Hamilton to see more reps at outside linebacker, especially with Whitney Mercilus (biceps) now on IR. Gary will set his sights on returning for a matchup next Sunday against the Rams -- one that will presumably have playoff-seeding implications.
Nov 21, 2021
Viewed as game-time decision
Gary, who is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Vikings, is being viewed as a game-time decision, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Gary is recovering from a hyperextended elbow, an injury he suffered in last week's win over the Seahawks. While the edge rusher made the trip to Minnesota and wants to play, the Packers could be inclined to take a cautious approach with Gary and hold him out for the week with the attempt to preserve him for the long haul. Green Bay has already suffered significant attrition at outside linebacker this season, as Za'Darius Smith (back) remains without a definitive return date and Whitney Mercilus (biceps) and Chauncey Rivers (knee) are lost for the season.
Nov 19, 2021
Game-time decision
Gary (elbow) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official website reports.
ANALYSIS
Gary was limited at practice all week and appears to be trending towards a true game-time decision. He suffered a hyperextended elbow in last week's victory over the Seahawks. Jonathan Garvin and Tipa Galeai would be the prime candidates to fill in for him if he is ultimately unable to go.
Nov 15, 2021
Hopes to play through injury
Gary plans to brace his hyperextended elbow in an attempt to play Sunday against the Vikings, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Gary will undergo an MRI on Tuesday to help determine the extent of his injury, but it appears as though he could avoid missing additional time after he exited Sunday's win over the Seahawks in the second half. The 2019 first-rounder was relatively productive prior to his departure in Week 10 and totaled three solo tackles and a sack.
Nov 14, 2021
Comes out of game Sunday
Gary is questionable to return to Sunday's game with an elbow injury.
ANALYSIS
Gary's arm bent awkwardly in the pile when he tried to make a tackle in the second half and was seen writhing in pain after. Jonathan Garvin should take over at linebacker.
Nov 8, 2021
Picks up another sack
Gary had two tackles (one solo) and a sack in Sunday's 13-7 loss to the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
The sack gives Gary 4.5 on the season, with three of those coming over his past three games. While he isn't putting up huge numbers in the sack column, he is generating a lot of heat on the quarterback, as per Daire Carragher of 247Sports, he owns a 16.5 percent pressure rate -- the fourth-best mark in the league.
Oct 25, 2021
Pressure pays off in Week 7
Gary made seven tackles (three solo), recorded a career-high 2.0 sacks and forced a fumble in Sunday's 24-10 victory over Washington.
ANALYSIS
Gary has been putting heat on opposing quarterbacks all season, ranking -- per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic, top-10 in the league in all of pressures, hits and hurries, and his steady work finally paid off in the sack column in Week 7. Gary now has 3.5 sacks on the season, which puts him well on his way to topping the 5.0 sacks he put on the board a season ago.
Oct 4, 2021
First full sack this season
Gary tallied a career-high six tackles (four solo) and a sack in Sunday's 27-17 victory over the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
Gary's first full sack of the season was an impressive one, as he shoved the offensive lineman in his way into Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and wound up taking both players to the ground. Gary is starting to pick up the pace, registering 1.5 sacks over the last two weeks after being shut out in both Weeks 1 and 2.
Sep 13, 2021
Four pressures in Week 1
Gary had a team-leading four pressures in Sunday's 38-3 loss to the Saints, per Zach Kruse of The Packers Wire.
ANALYSIS
According to the report Gary rushed the passer only 16 times Sunday, so he certainly made the most of his opportunities. Gary was on the field for 60 percent of the plays the Packers defense was on the field for, which is a notable increase over the 44 percent of snaps he played in his 2020 sophomore campaign.
Dec 25, 2020
Clear of injury designation
Gary (hip) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Titans, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old never advanced beyond limited practice participant this week, but it won't affect his availability for Sunday's contest. Gary is performing well in a rotational role during his second season with 24 total tackles and five sacks through 13 games.
Dec 23, 2020
Nursing hip injury
Gary (hip) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Gary will have two more opportunities to upgrade his practice activity before the Packers have to tag him with an injury designation for Week 16. With Za'Darius Smith (ankle/thumb/neck) also limited to start the week, Gary's availability is shaping up to be even more important than usual for Green Bay.
Dec 7, 2020
Racks up 1.5 sacks
Gary had four tackles (two solo) and 1.5 sacks in Sunday's victory over the Eagles.
ANALYSIS
The 1.5 sacks matched Gary's career high and gave him 2.5 sacks over his last three games. Gary replaced Preston Smith in the starting lineup each of the past two weeks, and both players have performed well since the swap. As such, don't be surprised to see that arrangement continue.
Nov 16, 2020
First sack since Week 2
Gary had two solo tackles and a sack in Sunday's victory over the Jaguars.
ANALYSIS
Gary generated consistent pressure in Sunday's contest, and he was finally able to get to the quarterback late in the game, forcing the Jaguars into a third-and-long on the decisive drive. Gary, who now owns 2.5 sacks on the season, continues to play a part-time role behind -- and sometimes alongside -- Za'Darius and Preston Smith.
Oct 18, 2020
Clear for Week 6
Gary (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
ANALYSIS
Gary was forced to miss the last Packer game before the bye week in Week 4, so he appears fully healthy to return to action. Look for the second-year pro to return to his usual rotational role at linebacker for Sunday's contest.
Oct 16, 2020
Questionable Sunday
Gar (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 22-year-old sat out Week 4 with the high-ankle sprain and isn't fully healthy coming out of the Packers' bye week. Gary practiced as a limited participant all week, so he appears to have a decent chance of playing Sunday.
Oct 5, 2020
Out Monday
Gary (ankle) is inactive for Monday's matchup with the Falcons.
ANALYSIS
Gary suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 3, and it was never considered likely that he would recover in time for Monday's matchup. The Packers have a Week 5 bye, so there is no surprise that they will err on the side of caution with their 2019 first-round pick.
Oct 5, 2020
Trending in wrong direction
Gary suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 3 and isn't expected to play against the Falcons on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The Packers likely won't rush Gary back from a high-ankel sprain with a Week 5 bye around the corner, so it'd make sense to shut him down Monday. Gary's official status won't be revealed until the Packers release inactives 90 minutes before the 8:50 p.m. ET kickoff.
Oct 3, 2020
Misses practice Saturday
Gary (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game versus the Falcons.
ANALYSIS
Gary practiced in a limited capacity Thursday and Friday before sitting out completely Saturday. It appears he's trending in the wrong direction after suffering an ankle injury in Week 3. The second-year pro has generated five quarterback pressures and 1.5 sacks this season, and his potential absence could be even more noticeable if Za'Darius Smith (ankle) can't go.
Sep 27, 2020
Hurts ankle on SNF
Gary (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Saints.
ANALYSIS
The Packers are growing thin at linebacker, as Christian Kirksey (shoulder) has already been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game. Gary had one tackle before getting injured.
Sep 21, 2020
Starting to make impact
Gary had four tackles (two solo) and 1.5 sacks in Sunday's victory over the Lions.
ANALYSIS
Gary had a quiet rookie season, but the 2019 first-rounder is starting to come on, making a bigger impact in the box score and, per Ben Fennell of the NFL Network, generating seven pressures through two weeks -- one of which led directly to a pick-six in Week 2. Fellow pass rushers Za'Darius and Preston Smith rarely leave the field, but look for defensive coordinator Mike Pettine to continue finding ways to get Gary on the field along with them.
Jan 21, 2020
Limited snaps in rookie season
Gary appeared in all 16 regular-season games in his rookie season and tallied 21 tackles (13 solo), two sacks and a fumble recovery.
ANALYSIS
The Packers selected Gary 12th overall in April's draft, but with Z'Darius Smith and Preston Smith on board they did not rely on him like teams do with most first-round picks, and he ended the season playing just 23.5 percent of the defensive snaps. Gary's pedigree suggests he will play a more prominent role in his second season, but with both Smiths still under contract, chances are he will remain more situational pass-rusher than regular contributor.
Sep 24, 2019
Full participant Tuesday
Gary (calf) was listed as a full participant on Tuesday's estimated injury report, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Gary was estimated to be a limited participant Monday due to an unspecified calf injury. That Green Bay is now listing him as a full participant suggests there isn't any concern over Gary's availability for Thursday's game against the Eagles.
Sep 2, 2019
Good to go
Gary (neck) was absent from Green Bay's injury report Monday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Gary was able to return to practice Aug. 26 after sustaining the neck injury Aug. 22. Now healthy, the rookie first-round pick figures to slot into at least a rotational role in Green Bay's linebacking corps with an emphasis on rushing the passer.
Aug 22, 2019
Driven to locker room
Gary was carted to the locker room after suffering an unspecified injury during Thursday's preseason game against Oakland, Lily Zhao of WFRV reports.
ANALYSIS
Gary was likely taken for further testing, and he didn't return to the contest. His camp released a statement during the exhibition, stating that he is doing just fine. Even so, the first-round pick's status will be worth keeping an eye on moving forward.
