Whyle was featured on multiple dropbacks. On Dropback 3, Whyle ran the flat route on a PA Boot. On Dropback 4, Whyle worked as the flat control on a PA Boot/High Cross mix. On Dropback 7, Whyle ran a corner route on the left side of a Nub formation in the red zone while MarShawn Lloyd ran an option route from the backfield.PositiveRoleAug 22, 2026
Whyle is projected to make the 53-man roster as the Packers' second tight end. The source expects Green Bay to carry only two tight ends on the initial 53-man roster but plans to have three on the 46-man gameday roster against Minnesota in Week 1.PositiveRoleAug 22, 2026
Whyle got more snaps than Luke Musgrave in obvious passing situations during preseason, suggesting he may end up higher on the depth chart than the current projection when Musgrave returns from injury.PositiveRoleAug 22, 2026
Josh Whyle played 12 snaps with the first-team offense (75 percent of first-team snaps in two-tight-end personnel) and has accumulated 20 total snaps through two preseason games. Whyle and Drake Dabney have moved up the depth chart with Tucker Kraft still recovering from an ACL tear and Luke Musgrave on the PUP list with a neck injury.PositiveRoleAug 18, 2026
Whyle is the top backup tight end with potential for increased snap share due to Tucker Kraft's restricted snap count and Luke Musgrave's PUP status with a neck injury. If Kraft is held to roughly two-thirds of offensive snaps (rather than his usual 90%), that could create an extra 20 snaps per game for Whyle. He has been running with the starting offense all summer and has experience with a moderate role, having played nearly 350 offensive snaps for the Titans in 2024 (28 catches, 248 yards, 1 TD). Whyle typically plays the H position (move tight end) but will need to play more in-line due to Musgrave's absence.PositiveUsageAug 16, 2026

Tight end forced into starting lineup reps during camp due to injuries; offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich stated that Whyle has improved.

Whyle operates as the primary misdirection element in the Packers' TE Release goal line concept (100% TD rate, 2.0 YPA). The source describes: 'Josh Whyle goes in motion and looks to be angling to block out the EMOL (End Man On Line), but arcs around and releases to the flat.' His motion and release create the natural rub that frees Watson downfield, making him integral to the Packers' most efficient goal line passing concept in 2025.
