In Week 9, a Packers veteran most likely played his final game for Green Bay.

This defensive veteran likely just played his final game for the Green Bay Packers in Week 9.

The Green Bay Packers lost to the Detroit Lions in Week 9 in a game that was more collapse than competition, and it might have been Preston Smith’s final game with the organization.

The Packers had a chance to go up to the top of the NFC North, but they lost both of those games at Lambeau Field, leaving them 0-2 in the division.

This defensive veteran likely just played his final game for the Green Bay Packers in Week 9.

The Green Bay Packers lost to the Detroit Lions in Week 9 in a game that was more collapse than competition, and it might have been Preston Smith’s final game with the organization.

The Packers had a chance to go up to the top of the NFC North, but they lost both of those games at Lambeau Field, leaving them 0-2 in the division.

This performance was one for the “what could go wrong” file. Green Bay racked up 10 penalties, dropped six passes, botched three snaps, and threw a pick-six. If this was indeed Preston Smith’s Green Bay farewell, it wasn’t exactly a ceremonious sendoff.

Since joining Green Bay in 2019 with players like Adrian Amos, Billy Turner, and Za’Darius Smith, Smith—one of the most enduring players on this Packers roster—has been the epitome of consistency. Smith had outlasted them all after four years.

Green Bay was hoped that a younger player would have taken over his position by now. They even invested a 2023 first-round pick in Lukas Van Ness to be that player, but Smith has maintained his position by default as Van Ness has struggled to establish himself.
