Ugly in the red zone
8:09 p.m.
Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy.
During a red-zone team drill, the Packers' first-team offense managed the following: One presnap penalty, one fumbled snap by Aaron Rodgers, one interception by Rodgers — although it wasn't his fault because the ball was tipped off of Donald Driver's body by Aaron Rouse — and two near-interceptions, one by Rodgers and one by Brian Brohm.
7:48 p.m.
In one-on-one competition between receivers and defensive backs, rookie Jordy Nelson was the star of the show.
Nelson had a pair of nifty touchdown grabs in which he leaped over the defensive back to make the catch. His first victim was rookie Pat Lee, and his second catch came over cornerback Condrew Allen.
7:28 p.m.
In a team drill, defensive tackle Alfred Malone batted down a Matt Flynn pass at the line of scrimmage.
In the tight end vs. safety one-on-one matchups, the first nine passes were completed before the defense won the final four matchups. Tight end Donald Lee dropped a pass during the drill. The session ended when Aaron Rouse threw rookie Jermichael Finley to the ground.
7:15 p.m.
Aaron Rodgers was the winner of the deep pass accuracy drill tonight. He launched a long pass of at least 40 yards into a target net, the only quarterback to do so.
In a brief goal-line defense drill, backup linebacker Abdul Hodge generated a pair of big hits. On one, Hodge forced a fumble by running back DeShawn Wynn. On the other, Hodge stuffed running back Kregg Lumpkin. Brandon Chillar played with the first unit on goal-line defense.
Receiver Chris Francies was stripped in the ball-security drill by a pair of defenders including Desmond Bishop.
Will Blackmon took first-unit reps on punt returns. Also returning punts Taj Smith, Brett Swain, Jordy Nelson and Greg Jennings.
6:50 p.m.
Practice is under way on a sunny and hot night at Clark Hinkle Field.
Once again, no surprises on the roll call. Justin Harrell, Ryan Pickett and Tramon Williams are not in pads, and unsigned running back Ryan Grant is the only player absent.
The stands are full for this evening's practice, and it's standing room only along Oneida Street.
