Lloyd rushed three times for seven yards and brought in his only target for nine yards in the Packers' 27-19 win over the Panthers on Thursday.

In his second game of the season, Josh Jacobs logged a total of 27 touches, leaving precious little work for any other back. Lloyd slightly outpaced Pierre Strong by two carries, but he still logged a season low in rush attempts. With Jacobs looking fully capable of handling a workhorse role moving forward, Lloyd may be destined for similar volume to Thursday's on most weeks as long as his star teammate is available.

Fitzgerald made both field-goal attempts and converted his only extra-point try in Thursday's 27-19 loss to Green Bay.

Fitzgerald didn't attempt a kick in the Week 7 loss to Tampa Bay. The 26-year-old got back on the board Thursday, draining a 39-yard field goal early in the first quarter before capping off the night with a 50-yarder late in the third. Fitzgerald has made all 13 of his field goals this season, though he's missed five extra-point attempts.

Smack converted three of four extra-point tries and didn't attempt a field goal Thursday in a 27-19 win over Carolina.

Smack's evening began poorly, as he clanged the extra-point attempt off the left upright following Green Bay's first touchdown of the game midway through the first quarter. However, the rookie kicker recovered to make his other three PATs. Still, the missed kick may have put Smack on even thinner ice, and his struggles likely contributed to Green Bay's decision to punt on a fourth-down play from the Panthers' 37-yard line while up eight points late in the fourth period rather than letting him attempt a 54-yard field goal that would have essentially iced the game. On the season, Smack has made 11 of 16 FGAs and 16 of 19 extra points.

Coker secured two of five targets for 37 yards and a touchdown in the Panthers' 27-19 loss to the Packers on Thursday. He also lost a fumble.

Coker was having a forgettable night before he used his speed to turn a short Bryce Young pass into a 26-yard touchdown with just under six minutes remaining in the contest. Coker's fumble came on the last play of the game, as he lost the handle on the ball shortly after receiving a lateral from Tetairoa McMillan at the Panthers' 26-yard line. Coker is in the midst of a two-game downturn that unsurprisingly coincides with struggles on the part of Bryce Young, as the speedy wideout has just three receptions for 45 yards and Thursday's score in that span heading into a tough Week 9 assignment at home against the Broncos on Sunday, Nov. 8.

Love completed 30 of 41 passes for 288 yards with three touchdowns and one interception and recovered a fumble in the Packers' 27-19 win over the Panthers on Thursday.

Love continued his season-long trend of prolific passing yardage totals in the Packers' fifth win of the season, and Thursday's total was accomplished with Christian Watson missing almost a full quarter because of chest and rib injuries. Love connected with Tucker Kraft (12 yards), Matthew Golden (24 yards) and Josh Jacobs (four yards) for his trio of TD passes, a figure that marked a new season high. Love did throw an interception for a third straight game, but it didn't lead to any Panthers points. Love is already up to what is currently a league-high 2,246 passing yards and 16 touchdown passes on the season heading into a Week 9 road showdown against the Patriots on Sunday, Nov. 8.

Young completed 23 of 41 passes for 209 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the Panthers' 27-19 loss to the Packers on Thursday.

Young was under pressure all night, ultimately taking six sacks. The slumping signal-caller also averaged a season-low 5.1 yards per attempt thanks to the scant time he typically had to scan the field, a development that helped lead to Young's top two pass catchers on the night, Tetairoa McMillan and Chuba Hubbard, averaging just 9.5 and 5.4 yards per reception, respectively. Young salvaged his fantasy night to an extent with a 26-yard touchdown strike to Jalen Coker with under six minutes remaining in the game, and he'll have a tough assignment with which to try and snap out of his slump when the Broncos visit for a Week 9 matchup on Sunday, Nov. 8.

Watson said he suffered a broken rib in Thursday night's 27-19 win over the Panthers, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Watson took a hard fall in the second quarter after hauling in a 53-yard deep shot from Jordan Love. He landed on the football and was coughing up blood afterward, necessitating a trip to the hospital just before halftime. Scans showed a broken rib, but Watson was deemed fit to return to the game in the third quarter. He'll now have 10 days to rest up before the Packers' next game in Week 9 against the Patriots.

Kraft secured all six targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in the Packers' 27-19 win over the Panthers on Thursday.

Kraft kicked off the scoring on the night for the Packers with his 12-yard TD grab in the first quarter, marking his third of the season and second in as many games. The athletic tight end also recorded the third-most catches and receiving yards on the night for Green Bay, and Kraft now has at least five receptions in four of the last five games. Kraft will take a 35-350-3 line on 49 targets into a Week 9 road matchup against the Patriots on Sunday, Nov. 8.

Hubbard rushed 22 times for 81 yards and a touchdown and brought in seven of eight targets for 38 yards in the Panthers' 27-19 loss to the Packers on Thursday.

Hubbard was able to log his usual hefty workload despite Carolina trailing for large swaths of the contest, and the veteran back added his fifth rushing touchdown of the campaign on a one-yard run on the first play of the second quarter. He also led the Panthers in receptions with a season-high figure, and he now has seven total scores in seven games. Hubbard averaged under 4.0 yards per carry for the first time this season, but he's still clocking 4.6 yards per tote heading into a Week 9 home matchup against the Broncos on Sunday, Nov. 8.

Golden brought in seven of 13 targets for 79 yards and a touchdown in the Packers' 27-19 win over the Panthers on Thursday.

The second-year speedster finished second in receptions and receiving yards for the Packers on the night, while also leading the way in targets with a season-high-tying figure. Golden struck for his fourth touchdown of the season as well on a 24-yard scoring grab just after the two-minute warning in the first half, and the 2025 first-round pick now has at least six catches in four consecutive contests. He should remain busy in a Week 9 road showdown against the Patriots on Sunday, Nov. 8, one where New England shutdown cornerback Christian Gonzalez could spend the majority of his time on Christian Watson.
