#Packers rookie safety Josh Jones lays a big hit on WR Jeff Janis in pass drills, despite no pads. That's a no-no. Rookie mistake.

I really like Linsley but this whole injured often thing is getting old.

At least it's not a new injury. He had surgery in March.

Packers center Corey Linsley is recovering from ankle surgery that could keep him out for part of the offseason program, sources told ESPN.

One source described the procedure as a "clean-out to remove loose particles" stemming from the high ankle sprain he sustained late in the 2015 season. That injury, according to the source, is believed to have contributed to the hamstring injury he sustained last offseason that kept him out until Week 9 of last season.

I did not know that, that makes me feel a bit better. Hopefully they get the injuries out of the way before the season this year.

During FA, someone posited House wasn't poised to be a starter.

I wonder which of Gunter and House will take a seat when King shows up?

Man I hope Gunter doesn't even make the final roster

[texaspackerbacker]

Gunter was the best Corner the Packers had last season - presumably second only to King this year. I'm hoping to see him shut down the second receiver of teams. He did a pretty fair job against all except the top 4 or 5 WRs in the league last year. Did Randall ever play Slot last season? I like that move for this year if it stays.

[Brandon494]

^thanks for proving my point Gunter is garbage

[Brandon494]

Hope it's King, House, Randall, Rollins, and two undrafted FAs

[texaspackerbacker]

Gunter shut down just about everybody this side of Julio Jones. Not many Corners shut him down. What more do you want from a UDFA? He'll do just fine as a #2 Corner if King can come through against the top WRs of opponents.

King, Gunter starting; Randall in the slot, Rollins and House as back ups along with maybe Hawkins or maybe keep only 5

Tex, I'm on the bandwagon that Gunter can start in this league. He is pretty much a lock to make the roster.

HOWEVER...lets be clear. No one on that entire defense shut down just about everybody this side of Julio Jones. Controlled, contained. Didn't piss all over his shoes, yes. Shutdown? No.

[Zool]

Smaller than a normal RB and unable to take the rigors of the NFL....or something like that

[wist43]

We were 31st, i.e. next to last defending the pass... I guess the bright side is that we could be worse

[Fritz]

Is it just me or is the guy in the top row middle wearing a yellow skirt, green tights, and gold ballet slippers?

Must be a Packer cornerback.

The Packers have a lot of depth at the wide receiver and tight end position heading into 2017. With the top three wide receivers spots locked up, the battle at the position is one to follow and on Tuesday Trevor Davis stood out at the position. Davis caught most – if not all – of the passes thrown his way, including a pass up the sideline that beat the defense over the top

Davis is kind of a forgotten guy. However, he has the best speed of any Packer WR not named Jeff Janis. A deep threat sure would be a great weapon to have.

Edit: This story was from last week. OTA's resume tomorrow.

[smuggler]

Even if he's half a step slower than Janis, a little route running makes him pretty dangerous.

[Patler]

Rollins had groin surgery, too. Did we know that?

Rollins, on the other hand, was out for three contests but was also nagged throughout the year, as he put off surgery until the season had concluded. According to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel’s Michael Cohen, who spoke to Rollins, the same doctor who repaired Randall’s groin performed the surgery on Rollins.
