Sunday will be a big opportunity for the Packers’ inexperienced edge rushers

Key Points:

  • Green Bay Packers edge rusher Lukas Van Ness is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the New York Jets due to a concussion and limited practice participation this week.
  • Without Van Ness, the Packers will lose 92% of their 2025 edge rusher snaps, leaving only three other edge rushers—Barryn Sorrell, Brenton Cox Jr., and rookie Dani Dennis-Sutton—on the active roster.
  • The team may rely more on linebacker Edgerrin Cooper in edge-rushing packages and could call up a practice squad player, potentially rookie Nyjalik Kelly, to bolster depth on defense.
  • The Packers face uncertainty with a largely inexperienced edge rusher group, as Sorrell, Cox, Dennis-Sutton, and Kelly have limited NFL playing time and starting experience.
  • Sunday's game will provide valuable insight into the development and capabilities of Green Bay's younger pass rushers under challenging roster circumstances.
