Official 2019 Training Camp Thread

Let's hope that the final preseason game will see some production and not another "training project" exhibition. Both of the first team Defenses and Offenses need to be heavily involved in the last schrimage against KC. Without some real game work the Packers will be starting COLD in the opener against the Bears.

Nope.Not gonna happen. Bears haven't playing their offensive starters either.

Agree...game 4 is NOT when coaches play starters, or have you never noticed this?
Nagy has wrapped most of his starters in bubble wrap all preseason too. It's a league wide thing, has been for years, and Nagy has been pointed to as an example of taking it even farther than others have in the past.

Sternberger isn't listed there. Does that mean he's back playing, or what?

My understanding is he's been cleared to practice. They might be easing him back. I'm guessing the concussion + jaw injury (hairline fracture maybe?) will necessitate that.

Feels like the scales really tipped this year, no? I hope so. I hope it gets pathetic enough that at least 2 preseason games get cut forever.

Unfortunately, the league still makes $ on the preseason games so they simply won't get rid of them until they get another revenue source to compensate for them.

Rams sat almost everyone the last two years, made the Super Bowl and people took note.

Once coaches start sitting the second stringers all preseason, and the league begins to invite the Appleton Applejacks 14U team to come on down and play a series in the third quarter, then I think you might get your wish.

Shut down corner! Shut down corner! We could have an APB Darren Charles rematch! Think of the anticipation. It's an awesome spectacle...

I think Gute is lonely and bored.

The #Packers announce they have signed CB Jackson Porter and waived injured S Mike Tyson.

Probably just looking for players capable of being on the field for the final preseason game, because anyone on their projected final 53 won't even suit up.

Let's be honest, here. Mike Tyson was never the same since he lost to Buster Douglas. He shoulda been waived.

^ Man, my ear hurts.

Bill Huber @BillHuberSI
Gutekunst likes Dexter Williams' explosiveness. He's growing in the passing game - a critical element in GB's offense.

Gutekunst says Josh Jones might not have been the best fit. And that includes fitting "the organization as a whole." Sees him having "bright" career.

Gutekunst on Sternberger: "Absolutely" can contribute this year after being set back with concussion. Expects he'll have to rely on him at some point this season.

FIRST REACTION: STERNBERGER MAKES THE ROSTER.

@ReinerOlivia
#Packers GM Brian Gutekunst wouldn't talk about specific players with injuries, but he did say that he wants to give "core players" an opportunity to come back later in the season off of IR.

SECOND REACTION, STERNBERGER TO IR.

@TomSilverstein
Gutekunst on whether it has been discussed that one of his kickers could be kicking against him Week 1: "I learned from Ted that you really have to focus on what's best for you and your team," he said.

@TomSilverstein
Gutekunst said he and his staff are constantly evaluating other teams' roster to see who might be cut. "We have a pretty good idea of who's there and who won't be," he said.

@JimOwczarski
#Packers GM Brian Gutekunst: Believes guys can make the team on Thursday, and he can also find players off other squads to claim off the preseason finale.

It's better than kids running the bases!
