CAL HUTSON — PACKERS DAILY

"THIS IS NOT HOW WE THOUGHT TODAY WAS GOING TO GO"

Alright, everybody…

What's going on?

Cal Hutson here.

And man…

**WHAT A DAY.**

Seriously.

I woke up this morning thinking we're gonna talk about roster cuts.

We're gonna talk about who's making the 53.

We're gonna talk about which young receiver impressed enough to stick around.

Maybe we'd talk about Kyle McCord because, let's be honest, the guy just threw four touchdowns in the preseason finale.

Maybe we'd talk about Kaleb Johnson.

Maybe we'd talk about the running back room.

And then…

**BOOM.**

Josh Jacobs is on the Commissioner's Exempt List.

And suddenly this isn't just a roster-cut day anymore.

This is a completely different conversation.

So if you're sitting there right now thinking, "What the heck is happening with the Packers?"

Trust me.

**You're not alone.**

Because this thing has moved FAST.

BIG SAL — PACKERS DAILY "THIS IS THE PART OF THE YEAR THAT HURTS"

Alright, alright, alright…

WHAT IS UP, PACKER NATION?!

Big Sal is here with packernet, and man…

I don't know about you guys, but this is one of those mornings where you wake up and you realize—

football is real again.

The preseason is over.

Training camp is over.

The meaningless football is over.

And now?

Now we're getting down to the part of this thing where people you've watched for an entire summer are gonna find out whether they're gonna be playing football in Green Bay…

or whether their dream is about to change.

You're listening to TUNDRA FM with Brick Lombardio. There are days the news hits harder than any block. Days you wish you could just turn it all off. We can't. Not here. TUNDRA FM, what's really happening. LINEBACKER'S WRATH — aggressive football anthem. This one takes us back. To when the Wolf ran free, when the blue star crumbled under the pressure. Dallas dreams were nightmares, plain and simple. This is LINEBACKER'S WRATH — on Tundra FM.

Packernet Podcast - Alright Pack Nation, what's going on? Cal Hutson here, back in the lab, coffee already half-gone, and I just finished watching the Packers and Cardinals put on one of the most ridiculous preseason finales I've seen in a long time. Forty-two to thirty-eight. Green Bay wins. And I'm sitting here trying to figure out if I should be excited, concerned, or just laughing at the chaos.

First things first — Kyle McCord. The kid played the entire game. Jordan Love and Tyrod Taylor were in street clothes. McCord goes twenty-two of thirty-five, two hundred twenty-six yards, four touchdowns, zero interceptions. And he saves the best for last. Down eleven with under five minutes left, and he just starts dealing. Two touchdowns to Kisean Johnson in the final three and a half minutes. The second one with twenty seconds on the clock. That's the kind of moment that makes you sit up a little straighter on the couch.

Big Sal is still vibrating after the Packers' wild 42-38 preseason finale win over the Cardinals at Lambeau!

Kyle McCord throws FOUR touchdowns. Will Sheppard takes a punt 81 yards to the house. Kisean Johnson hauls in two clutch late scores. Down 11 with under 5 minutes left… and somehow Green Bay finds a way.

This was pure chaos, roster-bubble magic, and pure Packers heart. Big Sal breaks it all down the only way he knows how — loud, unhinged, and full of stories.

Let's try to place the break after the first mention of "Gutey's strategy" to balance the halves better and ensure there's enough room for the deep dive. Welcome once again to the Packernet Podcast.

So, on the docket today, it is a quiet one. We are looking at a day with no new briefing material, which means we have to dive a little deeper into the existing narratives, look at some of the things we have been talking about all week, and see if we can find some new angles. It is what it is, folks. Not every day is a fireworks show. Sometimes you get to dig in and really pick apart the small stuff that truly matters in the grand scheme of the N F L.

The Packers are making moves! Cal Hutson breaks down the crucial signing of veteran tight end Jonnu Smith, a much-needed boost for an injury-riddled position group. You'll get all the takeaways from the final joint practice with the Cardinals, including Tucker Kraft's impressive full-go return and a statement deep shot from Jordan Love.

But the biggest story of the day might be General Manager Brian Gutekunst's frank admission about Josh Jacobs' uncertain status. Cal dives deep into what Gutey's "any possibility" comment truly means for the running back room, and why this situation reinforces a long-held philosophy about investing in the position.

Don't miss Cal's candid analysis on why the Packers find themselves in this predicament and what it means for the season ahead. Subscribe to the Packernet Podcast and leave a five-star review to stay caught up on everything Green Bay.
