Lukas Van Ness Off to a Breakout Pass Rush Start in 2026

Green Bay Packers edge rusher Lukas Van Ness is enjoying a breakout start to the 2026 season, anchoring the run defense and generating consistent pass-rush production. Van Ness has recorded 12 tackles, six assists, four tackles for loss, three sacks, and four quarterback hits, boasting a 20.7% pass-rush win rate in true pass sets. After addressing early-season offsides issues by timing his rush off the blocker's movement, he has become a reliable disruptor even without star teammate Micah Parsons.
