As the Green Bay Packers prepare to face perhaps the most interesting ex-Packer in the NFL with the matchup against Aaron Rodgers on Oct. 26, perhaps you’re wondering how other former Packers are faring this season across the NFL.
Here’s a look at some names that may be of interest to Packers fans:
Davante Adams
Adams has 31 receptions for 431 yards and six touchdowns with the Los Angeles Rams, tying him for second in the NFL in receiving touchdowns, behind Detroit’s Amon-Ra St. Brown.
A.J. Dillon
The popular ex-Packer has carried the ball 12 times for 60 yards for the Philadelphia Eagles and has two catches for 18 yards over his six games. He’s getting on the field for 13% of the Eagles’ offensive snaps.
Aaron Jones
The Minnesota Vikings running back missed the last four games with a hamstring injury but might be available for “Thursday Night Football” against the Los Angeles Chargers. He has 46 yards in 13 carries in two games after playing all 17 games with Minnesota last year.
T.J. Slaton
He’s played in all seven games for the Cincinnati Bengals this year and has 24 tackles and three quarterback hits, well on track for career highs in both. Pro Football Focus, however, ranks him among the bottom 10 defensive tackles who have played at least 20% of his team’s snaps.
Darnell Savage
After getting released by Jacksonville, Savage signed with Washington in late September as the Commanders try to offset their injury losses. He’s appeared in four games for Washington and has one pass defended. He was in his second year with the Jaguars and started 13 games last year after five seasons with Green Bay.
Rasul Douglas
Still just 30 years old, the cornerback could be a trade candidate as the Miami Dolphins struggle. He hasn’t had an interception since 2023 but does have four passes defended this year — one shy of last year’s total over 15 games — plus a sack and two quarterback hits. Douglas was a revelation for the Packers in 2021 and 2022, then was traded to Buffalo during the 2023 season. According to ratings put together by Pro Football Focus, Douglas ranks eighth among cornerbacks across the league.
J.K. Scott
The Chargers punter has booted the ball 20 times for a 50-yard average, which would be a career high if played out over a whole season. The 30-year-old is in his fourth year with the Chargers after three rocky years in Green Bay and a brief stop in Jacksonville.
