Packers' Brandon Cisse: Fades concussion protocol
Rotowire
Cisse (neck) was not placed in the league's concussion protocol following Sunday's 17-14 win over the Buccaneers, Weston Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Cisse also suffered a neck injury during Sunday's game, but the good news for the rookie second-rounder is that he passed tests to avoid being moved into concussion protocol. Head coach Matt LaFleur does not view Cisse's neck injury as a long-term issue, so the 21-year-old cornerback could be available for Week 5 against the Bears, depending on what his practice participation looks like over the coming days.

Packers' Brandon Cisse: Suffers multiple injuries in Week 4
Rotowire
Cisse suffered a neck injury and was also evaluated for a concussion in Sunday's 17-14 win over the Buccaneers, Zach Jacobson of the team's official site reports. He finished with six total tackles (five solo).
The Packers defense took a beating Sunday, with Cisse exiting the contest due to multiple injuries. The 2026 No. 52 overall pick could carry an injury designation ahead of the NFC North clash with the Bears in Week 5, assuming he's not ruled out altogether before then. If Cisse can't suit up for that one, Carrington Valentine could continue to see more snaps.

Packers' Brandon Cisse: Full practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Cisse (cramps) was a full participant at the Packers' practice Wednesday.
Cisse was dealing with cramps during the team's 39-22 loss to the Vikings in Week 1, but he now appears to be back to full health. The 21-year-old will likely operate in his starting role at cornerback opposite of Keisean Nixon on Sunday against the Jets.

Packers' Brandon Cisse: Grabbed by Green Bay
Rotowire
The Packers selected Cisse in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 52nd overall.
Cisse (5-foot-11, 189 pounds) is something of a projection at the NFL level, still needing refinement in terms of route coverage and ball skills, but his combination of speed (4.41-second 40-yard dash) and frame promise intriguing upside as an outside corner. Though Cisse isn't necessarily a lock to push starting CBs Keisean Nixon and Carrington Valentine for more than rotational reps as a rookie, neither incumbent veteran played to a high enough level in 2025 to be considered truly entrenched. In his rookie year, it also wouldn't be surprising to see Cisse's athleticism earn him a role on special teams. Both Nixon and Valentine are entering the final years of their respective deals, so Cisse should have a clear path to a starting opportunity no later than 2027.
