WR Isaiah Neyor is on the Packers' practice squad and could be elevated for the first time this season if Matthew Golden cannot play on Thursday due to his shoulder/foot injury.PositiveRoleOct 16, 2026
Practice squad receiver is a candidate to be called up to the 53-man roster or activated for the game to backfill for Skyy Moore's ankle injury ruling him out. Source lists Neyor as one of the likely options for the Packers' receiver depth need.NegativeDepth ChartSep 30, 2026

Neyor has been the next strongest roster contender after Sturdivant, with steady but unspectacular preseason stats: 10 catches for 100 yards and 0 TDs across three games. He logged 21 snaps on special teams, more than Sturdivant, but 10 of those came on kickoff return, which the source characterizes as lower priority than coverage units. The source notes preseason TD absence is not meaningful given inconsistent opportunities and quarterback play.NegativeDepth ChartAug 29, 2026
Neyor did not make the 53-man roster, falling behind J. Michael Sturdivant in both special teams contributions and receiving production. Sturdivant's 112 preseason receiving yards in Week 3 put him ahead of Neyor in both aspects of the position.NegativeRoleAug 29, 2026
Receiver pushing Sturdivant for a roster spot but dropped a wide-open deep ball from McCord in the preseason finale, a critical mistake in a competitive battle for a roster spot.PositiveRoleAug 28, 2026
Neyor showed improved speed and route-running in Week 2 preseason. After working primarily as a possession receiver close to the line in Week 1, he had snaps running deep this week and displayed solid ability to stack the corner over the top, though not quite as explosive as Sturdivant. He also showed nice snap at the top of shorter routes to create separation. Blocking form improved from Week 1, moving away from arm-wrapping technique. Worked more from the slot in Week 2 and looked good there; if blocking continues to improve, slot work could be a strong fit. Overall demonstrates a well-rounded skillset with 4.4 40-yard dash speed from the Combine.NegativeDepth ChartAug 28, 2026
Competing with J. Michael Sturdivant for a potential WR7 roster spot in the preseason finale; depth chart positioning will be clarified after Friday night's game.NegativeDepth ChartAug 23, 2026
Isaiah Neyor ranks higher than J. Michael Sturdivant in the pass-catching pecking order but lacks special teams contributions, making him less valuable than Sturdivant for roster purposes; he is more of a true receiver than a special teams contributor.NegativeDepth ChartAug 22, 2026
Neyor appears one spot ahead of J. Michael Sturdivant on the offensive depth chart, but the source projects Sturdivant will claim the final receiver roster spot due to Sturdivant's special teams ability, which helps Green Bay cover injuries at receiver and defensive back positions.PositiveDepth ChartAug 22, 2026
Neyor has an edge on J. Michael Sturdivant on the offensive depth chart; however, Chris Brooks notes that this offensive ranking doesn't necessarily translate to winning the WR7 job and making the 53-man roster, as Sturdivant is getting trained on critical special teams roles that Neyor is not.NegativeUsageAug 22, 2026
Neyor played 15 snaps with the second-team offense, stepping in for Savion Williams; last week when Williams was in the lineup with the 2s, Neyor played only 4 snaps off the bench.PositiveSleeperAug 20, 2026
Despite injury setbacks and college production questions, Neyor has more long-term upside than J. Michael Sturdivant if he can figure out route-running nuances. His size and speed pop immediately on the field, he's only 25 years old, and there is room in the Packers' crowded receiver room (Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, Matthew Golden, Bo Melton, Savion Williams) for a tall burner. He could potentially press Savion Williams for a roster spot if he continues to impress in preseason.PositiveRoleAug 20, 2026
Neyor's weaknesses identified by Dane Brugler—unseasoned route running, slow adjustment at route tops, blocking technique issues, and corner pressing trouble—are all teachable skills. Critically, Neyor lost significant development time in college due to two knee injuries; a year on the practice squad likely helped him more than the average prospect, as it allowed technique refinement away from game-prep demands. He looked much more polished as a route-runner in preseason limited work than on college tape.PositiveProjectionAug 20, 2026
Neyor posted a 9.90 RAS with elite testing in everything but agility drills (where he was merely good), putting to rest concerns about his athletic profile. His closest RAS comp is Brian Thomas Jr, with Alec Pierce and Bryce Lance also making appearances. At 6-4, 218, he's back to full speed, and Dane Brugler ranked him 28th among receivers with a sixth-round grade, praising his athletic profile, catch radius, and body control.PositiveBustAug 20, 2026
Neyor's 2021 breakout is complicated by two major concerns: Wyoming faced no quality opponents (Boise State was probably the best) during the Covid-affected season, and the offense didn't pass much in the first place, making volume-based production potentially misleading. Additionally, a torn ACL robbed him of his entire 2022 season, followed by two transfers (Texas in 2023, Nebraska in 2024) where he struggled to produce, re-injured the same knee at Texas, and fell on the depth chart at Nebraska despite limited competition.PositiveBreakoutAug 20, 2026
In 2021 at Wyoming as a redshirt freshman (age 20), Neyor posted a legitimate breakout: 44 receptions (17 more than second place), 878 yards (580 more than second place), and 12 TD catches (no other Cowboy had more than 2), dominating the Wyoming passing game as the clear best playmaker. Breakout age is one of the better predictors for future success.NegativeRoleAug 20, 2026
Neyor, a 6'4", 218 lb UDFA with a 9.97 RAS (11th among 3,408 WRs since 1987), showed natural receiver instincts in preseason week 1, leading the Packers with 4 catches on 4 targets for 34 yards. The source praises his ease operating as a possession receiver, crisp route running, and ability to work back to the ball; he demonstrates understanding of his role and moves like a professional. Blocking remains a concern—he shows willingness but inconsistent technique, with a tendency to wrap arms wide (holding risk) and tentativeness as an insert blocker. Overall assessment: "As a receiver, I really like him... If he can clean up his blocking, you can color me intrigued."NegativeUsageAug 16, 2026
Isaiah Neyor played 37 total offensive snaps in the preseason opener against Pittsburgh, significantly more than J. Michael Sturdivant's 26 snaps and Will Sheppard's 16 snaps, indicating a role in the receiver rotation.NegativeRoleAug 15, 2026
Isaiah Neyor got 4 snaps with the second-team offense, appearing only when Bo Melton and Savion Williams were subbed out for a breather, indicating he is a reserve receiver.PositiveRoleAug 14, 2026
Neyor, an undrafted free agent standing 6-foot-4 and weighing 218 pounds with terrific pre-draft workout numbers, led the Packers in both receptions (4) and receiving yards (34) across 37 snaps in Thursday night's preseason game. The source notes he 'looked smooth, calm, and in control' with nuance of the position figured out, positioning him as a big-bodied prospect who can actually play receiver—a fit for LaFleur's preference for size and run-blocking ability.NegativeProjectionAug 14, 2026
Receiver Isaiah Neyor was among the top offensive performers by yardage in the Packers' preseason opener, recording 34 yards; limited sample size in a game where the Packers' passing attack struggled (19 of 30 for 97 yards, 4.7 yards per attempt).NegativeDepth ChartAug 11, 2026

Isaiah Neyor drew praise from head coach Matt LaFleur this summer but appears to have lost ground to Skyy Moore for the sixth receiver spot on the Packers' projected roster; there is still time for Neyor to make up ground.NegativeRoleAug 3, 2026
Receiver Isaiah Neyor got looks as a punt gunner. Contributing on punts or punt returns is a way to make the 53-man roster and 47-player unit active on game days.NegativeRoleJul 31, 2026
