Packers' J. Michael Sturdivant: Records first catches of NFL career
Rotowire
Sturdivant tallied three catches on as many targets for 22 yards during the Packers' 35-14 loss to the Falcons on Thursday.
Sturdivant's nine-yard catch late in the third quarter was the first of his NFL career. He went on to haul in two more passes of three and 10 yards in the fourth quarter and finished Thursday's contest having played 21 of the Packers' 66 snaps on offense (31.8 percent). Most of that playing time came when Green Bay was facing a large deficit, but Sturdivant figures to see at least some involvement in the offense given the uncertainty around the status of Jayden Reed (neck) for the rest of the 2026 season.

The undrafted rookie out of Florida impressed the Packers' coaching staff enough to crack the 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but he'll have to wait until Week 2 against the Jets on Sunday, Sept. 20, to make his regular-season debut. Bo Melton and Skyy Moore will be the depth wideouts for Sunday's NFC North clash behind Christian Watson, Jayden Reed and Matthew Golden.

Sturdivant is likely to be limited to a depth role out of the gate, as Christian Watson, Jayden Reed and Matthew Golden seem secure in the top three spots on the wide receiver depth chart.

J. Michael Sturdivant: Slated to sign with Packers
Rotowire
Green Bay is expected to sign Sturdivant as an undrafted free agent, Matt Zenitz of CBSSports.com reports.
Sturdivant spent time with Cal, UCLA and Florida during his collegiate career. In his lone season with the Gators last year, he tallied 406 receiving yards and three touchdowns on 27 catches. Sturdivant stands 6-foot-3 and ran a 4.40 in the 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, making him an intriguing wideout prospect despite his quiet numbers with Florida.
