Packers’ improved depth at cornerback leaves Keisean Nixon fighting to keep his starting spot
Green Bay Packers bolstered their cornerback depth to address roster upgrades following a five-game skid that ended their 2025 season in a wild-card playoff collapse. Keisean Nixon, who was the Packers' top cornerback a year ago, is now in competition to maintain his starting spot. The team added rookie second-round draft pick Brandon Cisse and veteran free agent Benjamin St-Juste, who have been working with the second-team defense in training camp.
Nixon, a two-time All-Pro kick returner and Pro Bowl defensive selection, acknowledged that he is being "punished" for his performance, but remains focused on his work ethic and competing on the field.
