Keisean Nixon: Everything you need to know

Nixon started all 17 regular-season games for Green Bay in 2025, finishing with 72 tackles (58 solo), 17 pass breakups, including one interception, and a fumble recovery. Nixon's 17 pass breakups tied for the third-best mark in the league. The cornerback also recorded six tackles (four solo) in the Packers' playoff loss to the Bears. The former Raider has been a regular starter over the past three years for Green Bay, and he has one more year on his contract in 2026.

Nixon recorded seven tackles (seven solo) in Thursday's 31-24 win over the Lions. Nixon suffered a stinger in Green Bay's Week 12 win over the Vikings, but he still managed to suit up on a short week. He played 100 percent of defensive snaps while also logging his second-highest tackle total of the season.

Nixon (neck) is active for Thursday's Week 13 matchup against Detroit, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports. Nixon missed the second half of last Sunday's win over Minnesota due to a neck stinger, but the issue won't cost him any additional time. He'll therefore settle into his regular starting role at cornerback alongside Carrington Valentine.
