If Starks, Green, Saine are OK soon, they can cut Benson at end of camp if they want. I am told Thompson doesn't want to do that to Grant.

Grant?

Meaning, Wilde has a source that says Ted doesn't want to sign Grant when there is a chance he would just be a camp body.

[smuggler]

TT doesn't want to sign Grant just to cut him at the end of the preaseason. I'm not sure if I believe that.

It makes more sense if you substitute "cash" for "empathy" in considering Thompson's motivation.

Borel and Gurley both out with injuries still. With the injuries at other positions, I think the chances of the Packers going with just the returning 5 at WR are getting greater.

Smith is the next man up and should do fine. DJ is always around the ball due to great instincts. Rarely out of position. Solid around football player.

Excellent depth as well at ilb.

Silverstein flat out declares Datko is vastly better on left. Balance is much better he says on Twitter.

Anything else hes pointing out from today's camp?

McCarthy says Sherrod will be challenged to be ready by the end of camp.

Receivers behind Borel and Gurley each made a play and then had a drop or poor snap. LB Manning made his first play in a while. Hayward and McMillan both made plays.

M3 channeling Towely today:

MM: I have never seen so many injuries. I don't know what is going on.

I was hoping he would get a shot at LT. Apparently he has played nothing except LT since high school, and rarely if ever even practiced at a different position. He had to literally concentrate on every little movement on the right. He said he knew he could make the change, but it would take time, because he instinctively moved as if he was on the left, which he never even thought about anymore.

They have said the same about Newhouse and Sherrod, that they are much, much better on the left. It's not surprising that TT drafts so many LTs, they tend to be the teams best linemen. Unfortunately, some haven't adapted to change quickly, and some not at all.
