The Packers, with the 30th pick in the first round of the draft, may have a shot at Williams, who is considered to be the best tight end coming out of college this year.

The 6’3, 249 pound Williams, declared for the draft at the age of 20.

The Green Bay Packers made it official today, announcing the release of TE Brandon Bostick and WR Kevin Dorsey.

Bostick joined the Packers as a non-drafted free agent on May 30, 2012, out of Newberry College.  He spent the entire 2012 season on the team’s practice squad before appearing in 24 games the past two seasons (2013-14) and totaling nine catches for 123 yards (13.7 avg.) and two touchdowns.

Dorsey entered the league as a seventh-round selection (No. 224 overall) of the Packers in the 2013 NFL Draft from the University of Maryland.  He missed his entire rookie campaign after being placed on injured reserve prior to the 2013 season.  Dorsey appeared in three games in 2014, posting two special teams tackles and one catch for 4 yards before being placed on injured reserve on November 8, 2014.

Bostick says he’s been released

Brandon Bostick – UPI/Robert Cornforth

There’s no official word from the Green Bay Packers, but tight end Brandon Bostick says he’s been released.  Bostick made the announcement on twitter today.

Bostick’s message today said this, “Thankful to spend the first 3 years of my career in GB.  Unfortunately my time there has ended.  I appreciate the support from everyone in GB!”

Bostick’s biggest blunder came in the NFC Championship game when he was supposed to block for wide receiver Jordy Nelson on an onside kick but instead reacted to the ball in flight.  The kick bounced off Bostick’s helmet and wide receiver Chris Matthews recovered for Seattle.  The Seahawks went on to beat the Packers in overtime, 28-22.

Packers Nation shocked with OT loss in Seattle (AUDIO)

Sunday’s 28-22 overtime loss to the Seattle Seahawks is clearly one of the worst playoff losses in Green Bay Packers history.  It may not top the list, but it’s close.

The Packers dominated play for most of the game, but left the door open just enough for the Seahawks to pull off a 12-point comeback in the final two minutes to force overtime and eventually pull out the win.

While the Packers were busy crushing the spirits of the Seahawks, they were missing opportunities to put the Seahawks away.  They settled for field goals instead of scoring touchdowns early on, yet still led 16-0 at halftime and 19-7 with just under four minutes to play.

Seattle fans were starting to slowly trickle towards the exits, only to miss a comeback of the ages.

Nothing went right for Russell Wilson until the fourth quarter.  He had thrown four interceptions as the Seahawks offense was suffocating against the Packers defense.  [Read more…]

Packers have an easy time in win over Bears

The last time the Green Bay Packers dealt the Chicago Bears such a lopsided defeat was back in 1962 when Vince Lombardi’s team clobbered the George Halas led Bears 49-0.

Last night, the Packers jumped out to a big early lead and went on to post a 55-14 win over the Bears at Lambeau Field.  It was coach Mike McCarthy’s ninth victory in his last 10 games in the series with Chicago.

Aaron Rodgers passed for six touchdowns, all in the first half, which set an NFL record.  By the time Rodgers departed early in the third quarter, he had completed 18 of 27 for 315 yards and six touchdowns.  His quarterback rating was 145.8.

Rodgers top target was Jordy Nelson who caught six passes for 152 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

Jay Cutler finished 22 of 37 for 272 yards with one touchdown.  But Cutler was picked off twice, the second of which was a returned by Casey Hayward, 82 yards for a touchdown. [Read more…]

Lacy could return to face the Jets on Sunday

Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said running back Eddie Lacy was in the final stages of the concussion protocol that is mandated by the NFL.  Not only does Lacy have a chance to practice later today, but he could play Sunday in the home opener against the New York Jets.

Lacy suffered a concussion in the season opener against the Seattle Seahawks last Thursday, his second concussion in as many seasons.

In order to return on Sunday, Lacy must be cleared by an independent neurologist.

More injury news

Bryan Bulaga and Brandon Bostick both practiced on Wednesday and both could play Sunday against the Jets.  But Mike McCarthy said they’ll need to practice in a padded workout today and come away in good shape.  Bulaga suffered a sprained MCL in his left knee in the Seattle game, while Bostick  suffered a fractured right fibula against St. Louis on Aug. 16.

AUDIO: Mike McCarthy on Brandon Bostick :17

Linebacker Brad Jones didn’t practice at all on Wednesday because of a thigh strain and it was determined he needed to get healthy.  If Jones doesn’t suit up on Sunday, Jamari Lattimore would likely get the start in his place.  The Packers could also use Sam Barrington during Sunday’s game.

Jones struggled in last Thursday’s season opening loss against Seattle.

Bostick expected to miss Packers opener

August 22, 2014 By Bill Scott

The Green Bay Packers are expected to be without tight end Brandon Bostick in their Sept. 4 season opener at Seattle.

Brandon Bostick – UPI/Robert Cornforth

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel cited sources as saying Bostick suffered a slight fracture of the fibula in his right leg during last Saturday’s game at St. Louis.

Bostick was in the locker room walking on crutches this week, after Mike McCarthy said the tight end would miss a couple of weeks with a lower leg injury.

The Packers are hoping to have Bostick back by week 2 or 3.

Without Bostick, the Packers figure to give most of the playing time to rookie Richard Rodgers and Andrew Quarless.  It also means the Packers may have to keep one or two additional tight ends.  Veterans Ryan Taylor and Jake Stoneburner are next in line.  Stoneburner has received plenty of work during training camp workouts, many times ahead of Quarless in the rotation.

Taylor and Stoneburner are being challenged by rookie Justin Perillo, a free agent from Maine.  If Perillo doesn’t make the roster, there’s a good chance he would be called back to the Packers practice squad.

Bostick to miss time with leg injury

August 19, 2014 By Bill Scott

Brandon Bostic was figuring into the mix at tight end for the Green Bay Packers. He’s potentially the teams best receiving tight end, but Bostick will miss some time with an injury.

Bostick was seen in the Packers locker room on Monday, using a pair of crutches. Coach Mike McCarthy told the media moments before that Bostick would miss a couple of weeks with a lower leg injury.

McCarthy wouldn’t say if the injury was related at all to the broken foot that put Bostick on injured reserve last season. But he said the Packers were encouraged once all the testing was done.

Bostick caught one pass against the Rams, for 9-yards before going down with the injury. The Packers will be hoping Bostick won’t miss any time during the regular season.

Bostick’s injury does open the door for Andrew Quarless, who started 10 games for the Packers last season. Second year pro Jake Stoneburner also figures to be in the mix as well.

Rookie Richard Rodgers has started the first two preseason games. He didn’t have any balls thrown his way in the win over the Rams on Saturday.
