    The Dolphins agreed to terms with Anderson on a contract Wednesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The 29-year-old reserve safety and special-teamer appeared in 14 regular-season games with the Packers last season, logging 15 tackles (five solo) and a pair of fumble recoveries. He should fill a similar role in Miami.

  • Won't be offered contract tender

    The Packers don't plan to offer a contract tender to Anderson (ankle), Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Anderson, who had been a pending restricted free agent, is thus slated have an opportunity to catch on elsewhere this offseason. The 29-year-old reserve safety logged 15 tackles in 14 regular-season games with Green Bay in 2025, while making most of his mark on special teams.

  • Lands on IR

    The Packers placed Anderson (ankle) on injured reserve Wednesday.

    Analysis: Anderson hurt his ankle in Saturday's loss to Baltimore, and the injury is severe enough to result in placement on IR. The veteran safety worked primarily on special teams when healthy, with 20 of his 22 defensive snaps coming Week 15 against Denver. He'll finish the regular season with 15 tackles (five solo) over 14 games.

  • 2025 campaign likely over

    Head coach Matt LaFleur told reporters Wednesday that Anderson (ankle) is likely out for the remainder of the season, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The BYU product sustained an ankle injury in the Week 17 loss to the Ravens and is now expected to miss the remainder of the Packers' 2025 campaign. Across 14 contests this season, Anderson tallied 15 total tackles and one fumble recovery while primarily contributing on special teams (206 special-teams snaps and 22 on defense). While he's sidelined, expect Kitan Oladapo and Jaylin Simpson to serve as the Packers' top reserve safeties.

  • Ruled out for rest of Week 17

    Anderson (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Saturday night's game against the Ravens.

    Analysis: Anderson's ankle injury seems to be too much to play on, and the defensive back's injury status has been quickly confirmed. Another depth defensive back will have to take over Anderson's role on special teams, such as Kamal Hadden or Kitan Oladapo.

  • Questionable to return

    Anderson (ankle) is questionable to return to Saturday night's game against the Ravens.

    Analysis: Anderson exited the game in the first quarter with an ankle injury. The safety logged a solo tackle before his exit, and someone will need to fill the defensive back's role on special teams while he is absent from the contest.

  • Practices in full

    Anderson was a full practice participant Wednesday.

    Analysis: Anderson has missed each of Green Bay's first two games with a knee injury. He practiced in limited fashion prior to the team's Week 2 matchup, but now looks ready for his season debut in Week 3 against Cleveland. Anderson is likely to play primarily on special teams.

  • Inactive Week 2

    Anderson (knee) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Commanders, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Anderson was listed as a limited practice participant this past week due to a lingering knee injury, but he hasn't progressed enough in his recovery to play Thursday. His next opportunity to make his 2025 regular-season debut is Week 3 against Cleveland on Sunday, Sept. 21.

  • Won't play vs. Detroit

    Anderson (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Anderson was limited in practice this past week due to a knee injury, and it is severe enough for him to miss Sunday's regular-season opener. Kitan Oladapo is slated to serve as the Packers' reserve safety Week 1 in Anderson's absence. Anderson's next chance to suit up is Thursday against Washington.

  • Could play in Week 1

    Anderson (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Lions, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Anderson was limited throughout the week in practice due to a knee injury sustained in early August. The BYU product was a key contributor on special teams in 2024, tallying 16 total tackles over 371 total snaps (118 defensive and 253 on special teams). If he's unable to play in Week 1, Kitan Oladapo will likely play as Green Bay's lone reserve safety.

  • Sustains knee injury

    Anderson left Saturday's preseason game against the Jets early due to a knee injury, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Anderson appears to be done for the day, though the severity of his knee injury remains undisclosed. The 28-year-old is expected to kick off the regular season as one of Green Bay's top backup safeties behind Evan Williams and Xavier McKinney (calf).

  • Returning to Green Bay

    Anderson signed his exclusive rights free-agent tender with the Packers on Monday, Zach Kruse of USA Today reports.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Starts two contests in 2024

    Anderson (concussion) finished the 2024 season with 16 tackles (13 solo) and two pass breakups, including one interception, across 16 regular-season contests.

    Analysis: 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…read more

  • Won't play Sunday

    Anderson (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Eagles, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Still sidelined

    Anderson (concussion) did not practice Wednesday, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Out for Week 18

    Anderson (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Enters concussion protocol

    Anderson has been diagnosed with a concussion and has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against Minnesota.

    Analysis: 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 protocol, which he'll need to clear in order to play against Chicago in Week 18. With 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.

  • Back at practice

    Anderson (knee) returned to practice at the Packers' training camp Tuesday, Zach Kruse of Packers Wire reports.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Healthy ahead of Week 8

    Anderson (hamstring) was a full participant at the Packers' practice Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Anderson has missed the last three contests with a hamstring injury, but he now appears ready to go ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Vikings.

    Analysis: Anderson's absence will mark his third straight due to a hamstring issue. He has primarily been a special teams player this season, so his absence is not expected to impact Green Bay's defense. His next possible chance to return will come in one week versus the Vikings.
