Anderson signed his exclusive rights free-agent tender with the Packers on Monday, Zach Kruse of USA Today reports. Anderson is set to return to Green Bay where he racked up 16 tackles (13 solo) and an interception in 16 games during the 2024 campaign. The 28-year-old will likely serve as one of team's top backup safety options behind Xavier McKinney and Evan Williams and can contribute on special teams as well.
Anderson (concussion) finished the 2024 season with 16 tackles (13 solo) and two pass breakups, including one interception, across 16 regular-season contests. Anderson made the first two starts of his career this past season. He appeared in a total of 17 games for the Chiefs and Packers across the 2021-23 campaigns but didn't play a single defensive snap during that time. Anderson saw action on 123 defensive snaps as a reserve safety for Green Bay during the 2024 campaign and is scheduled to be an exclusive rights free agent this spring. If the Packers tender Anderson, he'll compete for a similar role next summer. He missed Week 18 and the wild-card playoff loss to the Eagles with a concussion.
Anderson (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Eagles, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports. Anderson has yet to practice since sustaining a concussion in the Packers' Week 17 loss to the Vikings, so it's no surprise he'll be sidelined for the wild-card round. The BYU product is one of the Green Bay's key special teamers, as he's recorded 16 total tackles over 253 special-teams snaps this season. Kitan Oladapo is likely to serve as the Packers' top reserve safety with Anderson missing Sunday's contest.
Anderson (concussion) did not practice Wednesday, Bill Huber of SI.com reports. Anderson suffered a concussion during Week 17's loss to the Vikings and has been out of action since. He'll need to make it through the league's five-step protocols to get clearance to play in Sunday's wild-card game against the Eagles and may be running out of time to do so. He'll likely need to log a full practice with no setbacks by Friday to have any chance to suit up.
Anderson (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears. Anderson was concussed in the first quarter of last Sunday's loss to the Vikings and will miss the regular-season finale. Kitan Oladapo should be next up for snaps at safety behind Xavier McKinney and Javon Bullard. Anderson closes out the regular season with 16 tackles (13 solo) and two pass breakups, including one interception.
Anderson has been diagnosed with a concussion and has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against Minnesota. Anderson got shaken up during a kickoff return in the first quarter, and further tests determined that he had suffered a concussion during the play. He'll enter the league's five-step concussion protocols, which he'll need to clear in order to play against Chicago in Week 18. Javon Bullard starting at strong safety for Evan Williams (quadriceps), Kitan Oladapo will serve as the Packers' backup safety for the rest of Sunday's game due to Anderson's injury.
Anderson (knee) returned to practice at the Packers' training camp Tuesday, Zach Kruse of Packers Wire reports. Anderson was added to Green Bay's injury report Sunday with a knee injury, but it appears to have been a minor injury. The safety is competing with Anthony Johnson for a depth spot behind Xavier McKinney in 2024.
Anderson was added to the Packers' injury report Sunday due to a knee issue, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports. Anderson missed the first seven games of the 2023 season due to a hamstring injury. He returned in Week 8, and over his 10 regular-season outings, he posted four tackles (three solo) while playing 126 snaps on special teams. Anderson is battling for a depth spot in the Packers' secondary at safety.
