The 2005 Green Bay Packers season was the franchise's 86th season in the National Football League and the 87th overall.
This season was their worst record since their 1991 season. The Packers suffered injuries to wide receivers Javon Walker and Robert Ferguson and running backs Ahman Green, Najeh Davenport, Tony Fisher, and Samkon Gado. As a result of the season, many of the Packers coaches were fired, including head coach Mike Sherman.
The Packers lost veteran guards Marco Rivera and Mike Wahle to free agency. Starting safety Darren Sharper was released by Green Bay Packers, signing with the Minnesota Vikings. With the 24th pick of the 2005 NFL Draft the Green Bay Packers selected quarterback Aaron Rodgers, the second quarterback taken in the draft.
Players highlighted in yellow indicate players selected to the Pro Bowl during their NFL career.
The Packers opened the 2005 NFL season with a loss to the Detroit Lions. Starting wide receiver Javon Walker injured his right knee and did not play the rest of the season. This would be the Lions last win over the Packers until the 2010 season.
