Packers' Nick Niemann: Ready to return
Niemann is active for Saturday's wild-card round game against the Bears, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Niemann has been sidelined since Week 8 with a pectoral injury, but he was activated from injured reserve earlier in the week. He'll now be ready to return to the field and will likely contribute primarily on special teams.

Packers' Nick Niemann: Questionable to play Saturday
Niemann (pectoral) is officially listed as questionable for Saturday's wild-card matchup against Chicago, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Niemann has been listed as limited in practice all week in advance of Saturday's road playoff opener, though Green Bay officially activated him from IR on Wednesday. If cleared to face the Bears, Niemann will stand to handle a significant role on special teams while also operating as a reserve option at linebacker.

Packers' Nick Niemann: Activated from IR
The Packers activated Niemann (pectoral) from injured reserve Wednesday.
Niemann was a limited participant in Tuesday's walkthrough and Wednesday's practice. The linebacker's practice consistency is a good sign for his chances of suiting up for Saturday night's wild-card clash with the Bears. The special-teamer would be set to take on a similar role to what he did during the start of the 2025 campaign, which is 50 percent or more of special-teams snaps while operating as a reserve linebacker for the defense.

Packers' Nick Niemann: Staying on IR
Niemann (pectoral) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Niemann was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday and was a limited practice participant during Week 18 prep. However, the fifth-year pro has not progressed enough in his recovery to return from a pectoral injury that caused him to land on IR in early November. Niemann could be activated from IR ahead of the wild-card round of the NFC playoffs.

Packers' Nick Niemann: Returns to practice
Niemann (pectoral) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Weston Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Niemann has been sidelined since Week 9, and he turned in a limited session in his return to practice Wednesday. He contributed solely on special teams to begin the season, and that's likely to remain the case if he is ultimately activated from injured reserve.

Packers' Nick Niemann: Placed on injured reserve
Niemann (pectoral) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.
Niemann has been exclusively a special-teams contributor this season, logging 115 snaps for the Packers unit before suffering a pectoral injury in last Sunday's win over the Steelers. Niemann's move to the injured reserve makes room for linebacker Kristian Welch to be signed to the active roster. Welch will likely take over Niemann's special-teams snaps for the foreseeable future.

Packers' Nick Niemann: Won't face Panthers
Niemann (pectoral) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Panthers,Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Niemann suffered the injury during Sunday's win over Pittsburgh, and coach Matt LaFleur suggested it could sideline him for several weeks. Niemann did not practice at all in the lead-up to Green Bay's Week 9 matchup against Carolina and will miss his first game of the season.

Packers' Nick Niemann: Pec injury a long-term concern
Head coach Matt LaFleur relayed Monday that the Packers are "concerned" about the pectoral injury Niemann sustained during the Packers' 35-25 win over the Steelers on Sunday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Niemann sustained the injury during the second half of Sunday's game and finished with three tackles (two solo) while playing 17 snaps on special teams. He'll undergo further tests to determine the severity of his pectoral injury, but the 2021 sixth-rounder could be facing a stint on injured reserve. Niemann has worked exclusively on special teams this season, though his absence would deplete the Packers' depth at linebacker.

Packers' Nick Niemann: Exits early during SNF

Niemann exited the game in the second half, and he ultimately did not return to the contest. The linebacker did not record any stats prior to his premature departure.

Packers' Nick Niemann: Debuts for Packers
Niemann made four tackles (one solo) in Sunday's 27-13 victory over the Lions.
Niemann joined Green Bay in late August after being released by the Texans, and although he did not log a defensive snap, he was plenty busy on special teams. Green Bay has good depth at the middle-linebacker spots, so expect Niemann to continue seeing the bulk of his work when the specialists are on the field.

Texans' Nick Niemann: Heading to Houston
The Texans are slated to sign Niemann to a two-year contract worth up to $6.5 million, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Niemann mostly played on special teams for the Chargers in 2024 and finished with 21 tackles (11 solo) and one pass defense across 13 regular-season games. He'll likely serve in a similar role in Houston, though he could get some reps in rotation behind starting outside linebackers Christian Harris and Azeez Al-Shaair (knee).

Chargers' Nick Niemann: Racks up eight tackles Monday
Niemann registered eight tackles (four solo) during the Chargers' loss versus Baltimore on Monday.
Niemann had his best game of the campaign Monday, recording a season-high eight tackles. The 26-year-old saw an expanded role as a result of Denzel Perryman exiting the game with a groin injury. If Perryman ends up being forced to miss extended time, Niemann would likely replace him as the team's starting linebacker.

Chargers' Nick Niemann: Comes off IR
The Chargers activated Niemann (hamstring) off injured reserve Saturday.
Niemann has yet to play a game this season, as he landed on IR in late August due to a hamstring issue. He was designated to return Oct. 2 and logged a trio of full practices this week to set himself up for activation. Niemann still carries a designation of questionable into Sunday's contest versus Denver, and if he plays it likely be in a rotational role.
