Just 3.0 sacks in second season
Van Ness finished the 2024 season with 33 tackles (22 solo), including 3.0 sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 17 regular-season contests.
Analysis: The 13th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, Van Ness' second pro season virtually mirrored his first. He appeared in all 17 games (zero starts) and upped his tackles number by a mere one, while his sack total dipped from 4.0 as a rookie to 3.0 in his second season. After playing 33 percent of the defensive snaps in 2023, Van Ness was up to 39 percent this past season. The Packers are likely hoping for a third-year leap from Van Ness in 2025. Green Bay could use a more productive edge rusher…read more

Back in action Thursday
Van Ness (thumb) returned to Thursday's contest versus the Lions, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Van Ness was able to return to the field in the second quarter against Detroit after being considered questionable with a thumb injury. The 23-year-old will continue to handle the bulk of the work opposite of Rashan Gary at defensive end in Week 14.

Questionable to return Thursday
Van Ness (thumb) is questionable to return to Thursday night's matchup with the Lions, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Van Ness suffered a thumb injury in the first half of Thursday's contest with Detroit, placing some doubt on his ability to return to the field. In his absence, Kingsley Enagbare and Brenton Cox stand to see an increase in workload on the defensive line.

Set to see increased role
Van Ness should see an increased role with the Packers' first-team defense following Preston Smith's trade to the Jets on Tuesday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Van Ness served as a rotational edge rusher through the first nine games of the regular season while also contributing to special teams. However, following Smith's departure and assuming Green Bay doesn't add any other veteran edge rushers, Van Ness should start with the first-team defense alongside Rashan Gary and defensive tackles Kenny Clark and Devonte Wyatt. Van Ness -- the Packers' first-round selection of the 2023 NFL Draft -- has accumulated 20 tackles (14 solo), including 1.0 sacks,…read more

Back at practice
Van Ness (thumb) returned to practice at OTAs on Tuesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Van Ness missed some time while recovering from a thumb fracture, but he's already back on the field. The 2023 first-round pick is coming off a rookie campaign in which he racked up 32 tackles (24 solo) and four sacks across 17 regular-season appearances.

Dealing with thumb injury
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Wednesday that Van Ness is dealing with a broken thumb, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: LaFleur didn't specify when Van Ness suffered the injury, but he downplayed the severity of the issue by saying that the edge rusher "broke his thumb just a little bit." The 2023 first-round pick sat out Green Bay's voluntary OTA session Wednesday, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic, so it will be worth monitoring his involvement by the start of the team's mandatory minicamp June 11. Van Ness recorded 32 tackles and four sacks over 17 regular-season games during his rookie season.

Ends with 4.0 sacks
Van Ness tallied 32 tackles (24 solo), 4.0 sacks and a pass defended over 17 games in the 2023 regular season.
Analysis: Van Ness filled a complementary role for much of his rookie season, but he made his presence felt late in the campaign, racking up 3.0 sacks over the final six games of the regular season and another in Green Bay's playoff opener. Van Ness was taken with the 13th pick in the 2023 Draft, so the Packers figure to give him more opportunities in his second campaign.

Adds to sack total
Van Ness tallied four tackles (three solo), including a sack, in Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Van Ness has played a complementary role in his first season as a professional, but he recorded a sack in two of Green Bay's last three games and now owns 3.0 sacks through 14 appearances. Expect him to continue working as a situational pass rusher for the Packers.

Suiting up Sunday
Van Ness (elbow) is active for Sunday's Week 3 contest versus New Orleans, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Van Ness hurt his elbow last week against Atlanta but was able to log a trio of limited practice sessions this week. He entered Sunday with a questionable tag but has been cleared to play. Van Ness has tallied four tackles (three solo), including one sack, in a rotational role across his first two NFL games.

Questionable for Sunday
Van Ness (elbow) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Saints, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: After sustaining an elbow injury in Week 2 at Atlanta, Van Ness's status for Week 3 is now up in the air. If he can't go Sunday, Justin Hollins figures to be the primary beneficiary in terms of playing time.

Limited at practice
Van Ness (elbow) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Kassidy Hill of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Van Ness left Sunday's 25-24 loss at Atlanta early after sustaining an elbow injury, and it looks like the injury could affect his status for Week 3. The good news for him is that he still gets two more opportunities to practice in full before the Packers' final injury report is posted Friday.

Suffers elbow injury Sunday
Van Ness is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Falcons due to an elbow injury.
Analysis: Van Ness had two tackles, including one for loss, before leaving the contest. He was injured while trying to bring down Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier. The severity of the injury remains unclear, but in Van Ness' absence, Kingsley Enagbare and Justin Hollins are candidates for increased roles.

Notches first sack
Van Ness tallied two solo tackles, including a sack, in Sunday's 38-20 victory over the Bears.
Analysis: Van Ness did not make much noise during the preseason, but he made his presence felt early in Week 1, chasing down quarterback Justin Fields and essentially forcing the Bears to settle for a field goal. Van Ness will not be asked to contribute as much as some other first-round picks given Green Bay's depth at the pass-rush spots, but he played just shy of 50 percent of the snaps Sunday and will undoubtedly get a chance to carve out a more prominent role.
