Packers' Linebacker Ty’Ron Hopper Shines in Preseason Victory Over Seahawks
The Minnesota front office made significant roster moves today, releasing OLB Cam Gill and waiving nine other players, including OL Zack Bailey, DT Travis Bell, WR Silas Bolden, T Logan Brown, CB Keenan Garber, WR Robert Lewis, S Mishael Powell, CB Reddy Steward, and RB Tre Stewart. The team also made changes at the quarterback position, signing Carson Wentz to back up J.J. McCarthy, with Max Brosmer as the QB3. The cuts were not surprising, as most of the players had limited roles in the NFL, and six of them were undrafted free agents from the Vikings' 19-man class.
The Green Bay Packers concluded their 2025 NFL preseason with a strong 20-7 victory over the Seattle Seahawks at Lambeau Field. Despite a rocky start with an interception by quarterback Malik Willis, the Packers' defense stepped up, forcing turnovers and holding Seattle to a low third-down conversion rate. Linebacker Ty’Ron Hopper was a standout performer for the Packers, recording three tackles and a sack on Seahawks quarterback Jalen Milroe. Hopper's impressive play has garnered praise from the Packers coaching staff, with head coach Matt LaFleur commending his improvement and physical presence on the field.
LaFleur highlighted Hopper as one of the most improved players on the team, emphasizing his solid performances and understanding of the defensive scheme. Hopper, a former player for the Florida Gators and Missouri Tigers, has shown significant growth since his college days and is poised to secure a spot on the Packers' final 53-man roster. With the support of the coaching staff and his strong showing in preseason games, Hopper's chances of making the team look promising.
