The Green Bay Packers have officially kicked off their 2026 rookie minicamp, with practices underway Friday and Saturday in Green Bay. This weekend marks the first on-field opportunity for the team's newest additions to don the iconic green and gold, setting the stage for what promises to be an exciting season ahead.
As is tradition, the minicamp roster isn't limited to just draft picks and undrafted free agents. It also includes a handful of veteran players and tryout hopefuls looking to earn a spot on the 90-man roster. Let's break down the full group by roster status, so you know exactly who's in town and which names to watch.
2026 NFL Draft Picks
The Packers selected six players in the 2026 NFL Draft, all of whom are participating in minicamp. Five of the six have already signed their rookie contracts, according to the team's official roster. The lone exception is second-round pick Brandon Cisse, who remains unsigned. Under the Collective Bargaining Agreement, drafted players are covered by injury insurance during spring practices—including rookie minicamp—even before their contracts are finalized.
Undrafted Free Agents (UDFAs)
This group of rookies went unselected in the draft but have signed free agent deals with the Packers. Typically, UDFA contracts are three-year deals at the league minimum, though some may include a small signing bonus or guaranteed base salary for the first year. Here are the confirmed signings, along with their newly assigned jersey numbers. Notably, wide receiver Sturdivant will wear number 87, which previously belonged to Romeo Doubs before his departure in free agency.
One notable absence from this list is tight end Eni Falayi from Wake Forest. The Packers were reportedly planning to sign him to a UDFA deal, but he is not on the minicamp roster. It's possible he failed a physical exam or that the initial reports were inaccurate.
Veteran and Tryout Players
Players already on the 90-man roster who have less than one accrued season of NFL experience are also eligible to participate in rookie minicamp. The Packers have 13 such players in attendance this weekend, giving fans a glimpse of the depth and competition that will shape the roster ahead of training camp.
With the first practice in the books, all eyes are on these newcomers as they fight for a place on the team. Whether you're tracking draft picks or rooting for an undrafted underdog, this weekend's minicamp is the first step in building the Packers' future—and we'll be here every step of the way.
