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.

weston hodkiewicz
@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.

Tyler Kraft activated. Like charcoal.

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."

On the other hand...

The guy is snakebit. His formerly lacerated kidney is exacting revenge.

Tyler Kraft activated. Like charcoal.

Pretty sure his name is Kentucky. Goes by “Tucker.”

Starting lineup: Love

Sorrell - Stackhouse - Brooks - LVN
Coop - Zaire Nixon - Bullard - Valentine
Williams - X

Andy Herman
@AndyHermanNFL

Another successful WR screen (Reed had one yesterday). Moore takes one downfield from Taylor with the 2’s. Jacobs with a good burst to the outside for a nice gain. Good bounce from #8. Golden skies for an impressive contested catch. Really nice play from #0.

Andy Herman
@AndyHermanNFL

Big Anthony Campbell just got some reps with the ones. McClellan primarily working with the 2’s so far which is interesting. McClellan has been getting plenty of snaps with the 1s in the first two practices. It’s been Stackhouse, Brinson, Brooks and Campbell so far w the 1s

weston hodkiewicz
@WesHod

First team period ends with Jonathan Ford getting some push inside and meeting Martinez in the hole

Andy Herman
@AndyHermanNFL

DDS with a nice pressure inside vs. Williams & Jennings. Sturdivant nice win on a slant from Tyrod. Taylor overthrows Neyor deep. Really good coverage from Cisse too. Johnathan Baldwin off the edge untouched for a sack of Taylor.

22m
Two minute drill. 1:00 left. Tie game. 1 timeouts Ball on own 35. First and 10.
1. Reed from Love for a really nice gain along the sidelines and out of bounds. Ball on opposing 42. Great ball from 10.
2. Love to Golden over the middle. First down. Clock ticks. Opposing 28 yard line.
3. Love to Watson in the end zone but 9 can’t hold on. Love put it in a great spot. Couldn’t tell if Nixon got a piece of it. Sounds like he might have. 25 seconds left.
4. Love to Savion along the sidelines on an out route. Tough diving play but catchable. Williams can’t hold on. Incomplete. Valentine on coverage.
5. 20 seconds left. 3rd and 10. 1 timeout remaining.

Ball to Moore over the middle. Pbu by Nixon. Two nice plays from 25 on the drive! Drive stalls. Would have ended in a fg attempt but no kicking today. Drive ends.

Ryan Wood
@ByRyanWood

Keisean Nixon, who had a pressure to force incompletion in first team period, with a pair of PBUs in end of half drill to get a defensive stop. Blanketed Christian Watson downfield in sideline fade, then shut down Skyy Moore on third-and-10 dig to middle. He’s flying around.

Andy Herman
@AndyHermanNFL

Couple noteworthy plays on the 2 minute drive for the 3s: Big Anthony Campbell gets his hands up to deflect a pass straight up but Campbell and Oliver fight for the INT and it falls incomplete. Couple nice first down completions for McCord to Sturdivant on a key third down and later to Neyor. Hit Prather for a first down on a slant as well. McCord led the team down to the opposing 21ish yard line. Nice job overall.

Andy Herman
@AndyHermanNFL

McClellan back getting some reps with the ones. This is also the first time I’ve seen Jonathan Ford get time with the ones. McClellan with an immediate run stuff of Jacobs for no gain. Bull with Pbu on a pass to Reed. Valentine with a PBU along the sidelines on a throw to Golden. So far it’s been Valentine and Nixon with the ones all day and they’ve been really good. Bobble on a handoff between Love and Lloyd but Lloyd was able to hang on. Brooks - Cooper and LVN combine for a stuff of Lloyd at the line.

Ryan Wood
@ByRyanWood

Matthew Golden just upped this. Catches a 20-yard fade down right sideline from Jordan Love. Keisean Nixon had great leverage on sideline, but Golden shielded him with his back and caught over his shoulder in same motion. Tremendous body control, best catch of camp, pt 2.

[bobblehead]

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

I just can't put it on MiLF. Gutes had the option of trading Walker before camp or the season and didn't. This time around he traded Wicks to clear the way for his Golden boy. Maybe it was MiLF and Gutes is learning.

There wasn't the tackle depth he had at WR. Walker was important insurance even if you don't view him as a starter. The thing we fans probably overcooked was the expected contract that Walker was going to get.

I think it was MiLF and Gutes is learning. By not signing Walker to an extension after the season, which would not have been expensive, he basically forced MLF's, and maybe Steno's hand. They have to play Morgan at LT.

I would think calling them into his office middle of last season (or earlier) would have been a more effective tactic.

[bobblehead]

I feel like LVN broke out around his injury riddled season and that is being confirmed in camp so far. Putting it on the record. LVN has a big year if he stays healthy.

[Joemailman]

Well, they can talk, but MLF doesn't report to Gute. Gute is not MLF's boss. They both report to Policy.

Andy Herman
@AndyHermanNFL

Hell of a strike from Love to Savion in team. Savion has a pretty sizable wrap on his leg. Big play for him though. False start by Skyy Moore. Really nice cutback on a run by Pierre Strong. Javon Bullard getting work at safety with the 2’s.

Andy Herman
@AndyHermanNFL

Donovan Jennings with back to back high snaps that result in a dead play. He switches with John Williams after that. Anthony Campbell showing up again with a batted down pass at the line. Just fantastic size at 6’6”. He’s a huge dude.

Andy Herman
@AndyHermanNFL

Barryn Sorrell reads a rollout perfectly, sticking with Whyle and limiting him to a very short gain. Praise from Gannon after. Golden on a crosser from Love for a handful but what was impressive was Cisse running with him and keeping the gain short. Not many running with Golden

Andy Herman
@AndyHermanNFL

Zaire Franklin with great coverage on Whyle up the seam. Nothing there but Jordan tried to hit him but there was no chance. Chris McClellan with an impressive pass rush inside. Love throws deep to Watson and gets it there but Watson has to make a diving catch but can’t hold on

Andy Herman
@AndyHermanNFL

LVN with back to back wins vs Darian Kinnard per
@AaronNagler
. Run stuff on Lloyd by Zaire. Cisse with a Pbu on a play where Melton tripped on the play. Cox beats Glover easily. Another batted down pass by Campbell!!!

Andy Herman
@AndyHermanNFL

Wide receiver sweep out of the backfield for Savion Williams which will shock you went nowhere and probably lost yards. Collin Oliver absolutely nuked Dalton Cooper for a sack. Impressive speed rush from Oliver. Best I’ve seen from him.

Andy Herman
@AndyHermanNFL

Trey Smack: Good 28 Good 33 No good 39 - low snap - kick went left Good 42 No good 45 - wide left 3/5 to start things off for Smack.

Rob Demovsky
@RobDemovsky

CB Carrington Valentine dropped out of practice before any team periods. Brandon Cisse has been with the 1s for the 11 on 11s.

Andy Herman
@AndyHermanNFL

Red Zone: Taylor to Lachey for a td in red zone. Love’s ball batted down at the Los. Love overthrows Reed on a corner route. Bullard with tight coverage on Reed in the back of the end zone. Would have been out anyway. Love to Melton for a td running to his left.

Ryan Wood
@ByRyanWood

For your records, #Packers have hook and ladder in their playbook. Tyrod Taylor throws stop route to Bo Melton, who laterals back to Pierre Strong Jr. Strong finds end zone down sideline for 20-yard TD. Matt LaFleur teasing his new DC with that one.

Andy Herman
@AndyHermanNFL

Packers needed a touchdown on a play from about 30 yards out. Nixon breaks up a pass to Golden that didn’t really have a chance. Interesting lineup note. Packers went with a 3 deep safety look. Xavier McKinney - Evan Williams - Edgerrin Cooper. No thats not a typo.

Andy Herman
@AndyHermanNFL

Anthony Campbell jumps offsides for a free play. Complete to Sturdivant who comes up with his second catch of the day. Drones tries twice to hit tight ends up the seam but nothing doing. And that actually does it for practice.

Zach Tom is no longer Zach Tom. He legally changed his name to Zach Bako-Bewele, a combination of his grandparents’ Nigerian last names. “Especially when I start having kids, I want to have a name that I can pass down where it represents where they came from, where I came from.”

[texaspackerbacker]

ZBB is fine - just so he performs like an all pro, not a Nigerian prince.

Maybe he just didn't want his nieces and nephews calling him Uncle ......
