Tyler Kraft activated. Like charcoal.

On the other hand...

Packers HC Matt LaFleur on Luke Musgrave's injury: "That will work itself out, but it's not going to be in the short term."

Brenton Cox nice rush against Glover. Nice cut and inside run by Pierre Strong Collin Oliver all over a bootleg by Drones which earned praises from the coaches. Bullard forces a fumble on Moore. X hops on it.

@WesHod

Good rep for No 1 defense. Cooper had sack on blitz but Love still gets the ball to Moore and Bullard forces the fumble. Jonathan Gannon pleased

Andy Herman
@AndyHermanNFL

Nice rush by Coop off the edge on a blitz Great hands by Golden on a sideline route with Nixon in coverage. Great ball by Love. Reed explodes off a WR screen for a big gain off a great block by Whyle. What a play by LVN on an end around to Savion to stop it for a short gain

Andy Herman
@AndyHermanNFL

Bootleg has been back in the offense so far in camp. Nice play from Taylor to Dabney. Nice vision by Pierre Strong but play may have resulted in a fumble. Defense seems to think so. McCord to Sturdivant with great touch over the middle. Sturdivant was wide open.

Andy Herman
@AndyHermanNFL

Diving Pbu by X. Nice play by the vet. Love with patented sideline throw to Watson. Just money every time. It’s his version of the Rodgers comeback route. Ty’Ron Hopper getting some work with the 1s. Love to Golden on a comeback route now. Some pretty throws from 10 today.

Peter Bukowski
@Peter_Bukowski

Very interesting the #Packers seem to be rotating to sides at CB with the backups. Cisse coming in for Nixon at LCB and St Juste for Valentine at RCB, rather than giving Cisse/BSJ a rotation with Valentine.

Andy Herman
@AndyHermanNFL

Second straight set of team drills with Hopper in for Cooper at LB. Cooper is on a knee to the side still with his helmet. No trainer in sight. Will keep you posted.

Ryan Wood
@ByRyanWood

Another 20+ catch for Matthew Golden. Sneaks open behind Carrington Valentine on an in cut, and Jordan Love drops it to him over Valentine for about 24 yards.

Mike Spofford
@mikespofford

Savion Williams with a tough catch on an in route thrown behind him by Taylor. Nifty grab in traffic. Taylor then on target to Sturdivant over the middle but he drops it.

weston hodkiewicz
@WesHod

Zaire in the backfield immediately from A gap on first snap of team. Love still finds Moore on hot read. Good coverage from Nixon on incompletion to Reed. DDS had a nice inside rush on the play

Andy Herman
@AndyHermanNFL

Watson toasts St-Juste deep down the field and Love has a perfect pocket to throw into but overthrows 9 by a couple steps. Ball falls incomplete. Nyjalik Kelly with a nice pressure against John Williams. Johnathan Baldwin fantastic play and pick against Tyrod. Big play.

Nixon should be out there today, LaFleur says. Was experiencing some tightness. Burton will not practice today.


Ryan Wood
@ByRyanWood

Matt LaFleur says he likes Skyy Moore’s burst in the return game, but he isn’t closing the door on what he can give offense. Thinks he has potential as a receiver also. Will get opportunities to show that in camp.


Peter Bukowski
@Peter_Bukowski

Matt LaFleur said the disguises from Jonathan Gannon’s defense have already stood out. That was something Jeff Hafley prized (but backed off last year)


Ryan Wood
@ByRyanWood

Matt LaFleur pleased with rookie cornerback Brandon Cisse’s early introduction here: “The skillet, I think we can all see that. But he’s a guy who’s hungry. For a young guy, he’s a pretty mature kid. He loves football.”


Ryan Wood
@ByRyanWood

Matt LaFleur says there has been “lengthy discussion” with edge rushers about how to practice without pads, notably to actually “work an edge” instead of running through OL: “We don’t want to see any bull rush out there. It’s just hard to do when you don’t have pads on.”


Tom Silverstein
@TomSilverstein

LaFleur said Love has been focused during the off-season with as much balance as possible when in the pocket. Said QBs are more consistent with their throws when they maintain balance. Love has often thrown off his back foot at times, especially after getting moved off the spot.

A veiled shot at Gutes steering Morgan to guard?

Its the second comment along these lines he's made.

Because i feel pedantic, are all our linebackers off-ball linebackers?

The EDGE's are not off-ball linebackers. The true question is when can a lineBACKER not be off the line? Seems preposterous.

[pbmax]

Burton and Keisean Nixon have a hamstrings. Gute has hinted in the past he thought Morgan looked good enough in preseason to start.

I think we all thought that. Everyone was surprised when late injuries got him moved inside.

[Joemailman]

Sure sounds like it. But he also signed Aaron Banks to a monster contract, so he can't say too much.

Wonder who the first training camp injury will be.

[pbmax]

Musgrave with a lingering neck injury is just perfect.

Tom said he will be playing week 1. Burton said it was his hamstring. Kraft predicts he’s coming off PUP soon.

starting oline with Tom and Banks getting slowly rotated in, was Morgan Monk Rhyan Belton Kinnard

[pbmax]

FWIW, Banks will be practicing today.

Aaron Banks and Stackhouse both practiced.

Musgrave has a neck. La Fleur sounded like they didn’t have a timeline on it yet.

Hargrave and Orzech not expected to be long term issues.

Jager Burton left practice and returned without his helmet.

Nixon (new), Brooks and Brant Banks of blocked FG fame have hamstrings. Nixon missing time might help young ones.

Edit:

Tom Silverstein
@TomSilverstein

Long snapper Matt Orzech is sidelined (calf) and Gutekunst said they'll have to bring someone in off the street to handle the position until he's healthy.

Sean Rhyan is the emergency long snapper for today/now.

Gute on offensive line: "I really like that group. I think we've got some guys in places this year that make a little more sense."
