Packers' Keisean Nixon: Ready for Week 9
Nixon (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Nixon ended Week 9 prep as a limited participant. The cornerback appears to be set to play through a persistent groin injury in Sunday's contest, meaning he may share his defensive snaps against the Patriots with Benjamin St-Juste.

Packers' Keisean Nixon: Questionable for Sunday
Nixon (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Nixon split two limited practice sessions with a DNP during Week 9 prep. The cornerback is dealing with a groin injury, and it remains uncertain whether he will suit up. If the outside cornerback cannot suit up Sunday against the Patriots, Benjamin St-Juste will likely take his place.

Packers' Keisean Nixon: Misses practice Thursday
Nixon (groin) did not practice Thursday, Weston Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
After being limited Wednesday, Nixon downgraded to DNP and appears to be at risk of missing Sunday's game against the Patriots. It's a new injury for Nixon, so it's possible he was injured in practice this week. Benjamin St-Juste and Carrington Valentine would be in line for increased snaps if Nixon needs to sit.

Packers' Keisean Nixon: Limited by groin injury
Nixon (groin) was a limited participant at the Packers' practice Wednesday.
Nixon was able to play through a shoulder injury in the team's Week 8 win over the Panthers on Thursday Night Football, but he may have tweaked the groin injury that bothered him leading up to Week 7. The cornerback's ability to practice in any capacity is a positive sign, and he'll have two more chances to practice in full before Sunday's matchup with New England.

Packers' Keisean Nixon: Available to play in Week 8
Nixon (shoulder) is active for Thursday's game against Carolina, Mike Spofford of the team's official site reports.
Nixon was added to the injury report Thursday. However, the shoulder injury won't keep him off the field for the Week 8 meeting with the Panthers. The 29-year-old has had a quality 2026 campaign, accumulating 43 total tackles (32 solo), 0.5 sacks and one interception in seven regular-season games.

Packers' Keisean Nixon: Added to injury report as questionable
Nixon (shoulder) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Panthers.
Nixon was a late addition to the injury report, popping up as questionable Thursday after originally avoiding an injury designation Wednesday. If the starting boundary cornerback is unable to suit up Thursday, Carrington Valentine or Benjamin St-Juste would be the top candidates to join Brandon Cisse in trying to slow down a Panthers receiving corps led by Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker.

Packers' Keisean Nixon: Cleared to play against Dallas
Nixon (groin) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Nixon opened Week 6 prep with a DNP due to a groin injury, but he avoided an injury tag for Sunday's game after ending the week with consecutive limited practices. The veteran defensive back has 31 tackles (20 solo), including 0.5 sacks, and four pass defenses (including one interception) through the first five games of the regular season.

Packers' Keisean Nixon: Returns to practice Thursday
Nixon (groin) was a limited participant at practice Thursday.
Nixon sat out Wednesday's practice session because of a groin injury, but he was able to get back on the field in a limited capacity Thursday. Whether he ends up carrying an injury designation into the weekend may depend on his activity Friday, when Green Bay will release its final injury report of the week.

Packers' Keisean Nixon: Misses practice Wednesday
Nixon (groin) did not participate at the Packers' practice Wednesday.
Nixon is dealing with an apparent groin injury to open the week after recording six total tackles (four solo) and a pass defensed during the team's 31-7 win over the Bears in Week 5. The cornerback will have two more chances to return to practice before Sunday night's contest against the Cowboys.

Packers' Keisean Nixon: Picks off pass in loss
Nixon recorded five tackles (three solo) including 0.5 sacks and an interception during Sunday's 39-22 loss at Minnesota.
Nixon intercepted an ill-advised Kyler Murray pass on the second play of the game from scrimmage, setting up a Packers field goal. He has never recorded more than one interception in a season, and he'll be looking to change that starting in a Week 2 matchup against the Jets.

Packers' Keisean Nixon: Pulls muscle during camp
Nixon (undisclosed) pulled a muscle during Thursday's practice and did not finish the session, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Nixon did not practice Wednesday due to a hamstring injury, so the muscle pull is likely related to that issue. Rookie Brandon Cisse is projected to receive additional reps during any practices Nixon misses.

Packers' Keisean Nixon: Back in action
Nixon was back on the practice field to finish out Thursday's session, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
Nixon did not practice Wednesday with a hamstring issue and was held out early Thursday with a muscle pull. Despite the issues, Nixon appears to be healthy enough to continue participating without restrictions.

Packers' Keisean Nixon: Nursing hamstring issue
Nixon (hamstring) did not participate at the Packers' training camp practice Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Nixon picked up the hamstring injury after last season ended, although it's not clear exactly what happened. As long as he remains on the sidelines, it should mean more opportunities at practice for rookie second-rounder Brandon Cisse to make an impression.

Packers' Keisean Nixon: Breaks up 17 passes
Nixon started all 17 regular-season games for Green Bay in 2025, finishing with 72 tackles (58 solo), 17 pass breakups, including one interception, and a fumble recovery.
Nixon's 17 pass breakups tied for the third-best mark in the league. The cornerback also recorded six tackles (four solo) in the Packers' playoff loss to the Bears. The former Raider has been a regular starter over the past three years for Green Bay, and he has one more year on his contract in 2026.
