Green Bay, September 22, 2025

The Green Bay Packers, riding a 2-0 wave as one of the NFL’s top teams, suffered a setback in their Week 3 matchup against the Cleveland Browns when right tackle Zach Tom left the game with an injury on the first offensive snap. The loss of the key lineman raises concerns for Green Bay’s offensive line.

Tom, listed as questionable with an oblique injury before the game, tried to play but aggravated the issue immediately. The team labeled him questionable to return. Meanwhile, guard Aaron Banks, who also dealt with ankle and groin issues during practice, was cleared to start Sunday.

With Tom sidelined, second-year tackle Jordan Morgan from Arizona stepped in to protect quarterback Jordan Love against Cleveland’s formidable pass rush, led by Myles Garrett. The offensive line’s cohesion is critical for the Packers, who’ve leaned on their line to fuel wins over the Lions and Commanders.

Green Bay’s depth will be tested as they navigate this injury alongside absences of Jayden Reed and Christian Watson. Morgan’s performance could define the outcome at Huntington Bank Field, where the Packers aim to maintain their NFC dominance.

49ers Defensive Back  "Fires Back" at Kyren Williams on IG Live After Thrilling 26-23 Victory Over Rams
49ers Defensive Back  "Fires Back" at Kyren Williams on IG Live After Thrilling 26-23 Victory Over Rams San Francisco, October , 2025 – 49ers fans, get ready to celebrate! The heart-pounding 26-23 win over the Los Angeles Rams in “Thursday Night Football” at SoFi Stadium (October 3, 2025) wasn’t just a turning point but also the stage for a top-tier “trash talk” performance from defensive back Deommodore Lenoir aimed at Rams running back Kyren Williams. The feud ignited in the second quarter when Williams scored two receiving touchdowns (one a 19-yard play) from Matthew Stafford, complete with a taunting finger-point and “high-step” mocking Lenoir after the score. But the drama flipped late in the game: Williams fumbled the ball right at the 1-yard line with just 1:07 remaining, allowing rookie Alfred Collins (49ers) to recover, shattering the Rams’ chance to take the lead. In overtime, after Eddy Piñeiro’s field goal put the 49ers up 26-23, Williams was stopped cold on a critical fourth-and-1, sealing San Francisco’s victory. On Saturday (October 4), Lenoir took to Instagram Live, roasting Williams with a sharp tone:   “His mouth is as big as SoFi Stadium itself! Pointing at me after a touchdown? Really? Who does he think he is? Let me tell you, he needs to learn how to hold onto the ball before opening his mouth to brag. Fumbling at the 1-yard line, then getting locked down on fourth-and-1? Don’t come at me when your whole team got crushed by us!” The video went viral on X, racking up over 16,000 views, sparking a frenzy among fans of both teams. Williams recorded 64 rushing yards (4.6 yards per carry, 14 carries), 66 receiving yards, and 2 TDs, but his critical fumble (one of 7 lost fumbles since 2023, highest among NFL RBs) drew heavy criticism. Williams took accountability: “I let the team down.” Head coach Sean McVay called the fourth-and-1 decision “terrible” but defended his player’s spirit. The win pushed the 49ers to around 3-2, regaining momentum after being swept by the Rams in 2024. Lenoir proved he’s not just a defensive wall but a “trash talk” warrior! 49ers fans, keep cheering—the NFC West is ours for the taking!
