Official 2017 Training Camp Thread

Man, you had to go back 23 years, to the first year there were 7 rounds in the draft. Warner is such an odd ball story, with the arena ball, the coaching, being passed over by the Brownies in the expansion draft, and I think even NFL Europe too, right - before the Rams. Everybody was wrong about him and only very odd circumstances gave him a shot.

To be honest I wasn't even sure he met the qualifications you put up, but he and James Harrison always stand out in my book as the greatest players to have been cut early on.

Apparently Jermichael just can't stay away.

What a pain in the neck.

The new kids aren't having any of it:

I don't recall that INT. Perhaps it was another attempt by the NFLN to keep me from seeing any interesting aspects of the game. That's entertainment!

He needs to shut the fuck up and hang on to the ball.

He needs to shut the fuck up and hang on to the ball.

He went to Stanford. He can do two things at once.

In far worse news:

Packers rookie safety Josh Jones was carted off the practice field Tuesday with his lower leg wrapped in ice. ESPN’s Rob Demovsky reported that Jones limped off the field after “it looked like he turned his right ankle.”

Jones is Packer People.

Finally, camp is underway.

I won't respect him until he has a hamstring injury.

Lower leg injury. I wonder if its phlebitis?

And in a bizarre roster move, the Packers released defensive end Shaneil Jenkins just two days after he was claimed off waivers from Seattle. Jenkins never made it to the practice field, but the Packers offered no explanation.

“It just didn’t work out,” McCarthy said.

Others not playing this week:

Malachi Dupre
Damarious Randall
Don Barclay
Vince Biegel

Ty Montgomery and Key Packers Defender Slowed by Injuries Tuesday

By:Nick Brown......15 AUG 2017

" Starting running back Ty Montgomery didn't have a chance to injure himself in practice today. Rather, he simply sat the whole thing out with a sore lower leg."

During practice, rookie safety Josh Jones dropped out with an ankle injury early on. The Packers second-round pick was on the ground as trainers administered an ice wrap around his right foot. Jones sat in a trainers cart for a good amount of time, watching practice off to the side before being taken in. Fellow safety Jermaine Whitehead also dropped out of practice.

In the secondary, cornerbacks Kevin King and Josh Hawkins worked the outside with the No. 1 defense. King had his ups and downs again in practice. He held tight coverage on an Aaron Rodgers throw to Geronimo Allison, who made a nice adjustment to catch the ball. King rebounded later in practice, breaking up a Rodgers pass to Davante Adams over the middle. Hawkins saw almost all of the No.1 reps, ahead of LaDarius Gunter. He used his speed to break up a Rodgers deep pass to Trevor Davis after Davis got behind him.

With Montgomery out, rookie Jamaal Williams was the clear No. 1 back, while fellow rookies Aaron Jones and Devante Mays saw more reps behind him. Jones had an early fumble in practice, while Mays had one of the better runs of the day with a nice cut up the middle.

Jeff Janis had a very strong day, catching plenty of passes that included a deep pass down the sideline from Rodgers to beat cornerback Raysean Pringle.

Trevor Davis saw his fair share of targets, catching several passes over the middle. Undrafted rookie Montay Crockett took advantage of his playing time, catching almost everything thrown his way.

Outside linebacker Kyler Fackrell has not had the camp many had hoped, but he did have a nice rush on tackle Jason Spriggs that could have resulted in a sack in a live game.

In the long snapper competition, veteran Brett Goode took the first four snaps in the punting section of practice, while Derek Hart took the last four. The first punt attempt happened to be a direct snap to Kentrell Brice who gained good yardage on the fake.

When the offense and defense were working with each other on one side of the field, rookie linebacker Vince Biegel and Demetri Goodson were both doing some footwork drills on the other side.
