Van Ness tallied 32 tackles (24 solo), 4.0 sacks and a pass deflection over 17 games in the 2023 season.

EDGE Analysis

Van Ness filled a complementary role for much of his rookie season, but he made his presence felt late in the campaign, racking up three sacks over the final six games of the regular season and another in Green Bay's playoff opener. Van Ness was taken with the 13th pick in the 2023 draft, so the Packers figure to give him more opportunities in his second go-around.

Van Ness tallied four tackles (three solo), including a sack, in Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Buccaneers.

EDGE Analysis

Van Ness has played a complementary role in his first season as a professional, but he recorded a sack in two of Green Bay's last three games and now owns 3.0 sacks through 14 appearances. Expect him to continue working as a situational pass rusher for the Packers.

Van Ness (elbow) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Kassidy Hill of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Van Ness left Sunday's 25-24 loss at Atlanta early after sustaining an elbow injury, and it looks like the injury could affect his status for Week 3. The good news for him is that he still gets two more opportunities to practice in full before the Packers' final injury report is posted Friday.

Van Ness is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Falcons due to an elbow injury.

EDGE Analysis

Van Ness had two tackles, including one for loss, before leaving the contest. He was injured while trying to bring down Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier. The severity of the injury remains unclear, but in Van Ness' absence, Kingsley Enagbare and Justin Hollins are candidates for increased roles.

Van Ness tallied two solo tackles, including a sack, in Sunday's 38-20 victory over the Bears.

EDGE Analysis

Van Ness did not make much noise during the preseason, but he made his presence felt early in Week 1, chasing down quarterback Justin Fields and essentially forcing the Bears to settle for a field goal. Van Ness will not be asked to contribute as much as some other first-round picks given Green Bay's depth at the pass-rush spots, but he played just shy of 50 percent of the snaps Sunday and will undoubtedly get a chance to carve out a more prominent role.
