Injuries: LB Rashan Gary (PUP-Knee), CB Eric Stokes (PUP-Knee/Foot), WR Grant DuBose (NFI-Back), S Travarius Moore (NFI-Illness), LB Tariq Carpenter (NFI-Illness)

Not Practicing / Limited: OL Caleb Jones (Illness)

Offense:

TE Camren McDonald is practicing. Must be off the NFI list.

Packers starting OL for first team drill: Bak - Jenkins - Myers - Runyan - Tom

Musgrave at TE, Jones in backfield with Deguara. Doubs and Watson at WR.

First team rep of camp: fumbled snap. Nowhere to go but up.

And Jordan Love’s first pass of training camp goes to … Josiah Deguara.

Caleb Jones not practicing today so Rasheed Walker taking LT snaps with second team offense. Nijman at RT.

Finally a hole to the left side for Patrick Taylor and a nice pickup.

Danny Etling gets the 2nd team QB reps. Clifford in as QB3.

Interesting note from early team work: Zach Tom worked with the starters at RT and is now repping at center with the third-team offense.

Really nice pass pro by Luke Tenuta on LVN. Gave his qb time to throw over the middle but ball falls incomplete to Bonds.

Jones finds running lane up the middle after no room outside towards Smith. Nice hole off the right side by Runyan/Tom. Good gain for Aaron Jones.

Dontayvion Wicks doing his best Allen Lazard impression and sealing Rudy Ford on a great block to sprint a nice run. That’ll get the kid more looks! Really nice play by the rookie.

Love’s play-action short out pass to Watson just a wee bit behind him. Dropped.

Preston Smith beats Tyler Davis but nice throw from Love to Doubs over the middle off play action. Rasul in coverage. 12ish yard pickup.

Love hits Watson over the middle, maybe slightly high but Watson struggles to hang on again. Incomplete. Jaire with extremely tight coverage.

Packers have rotated each of their top 4 tight ends with the first team. Lukas Musgrave, Tucker Kraft, Josiah Deguara and Tyler Davis all getting time with Jordan Love.

Nice job by Zach Tom against Preston Smith in pass pro. Love throws left but some confusion and nobody there.

Love to Doubs on quick out. Nixon in coverage. Hamilton seeing snaps with Enagbare at edge.

Luke Musgrave just beat Corey Ballentine clean and was open deep. Had great separation. Love lofted it up but let it hung up in the wind too much. Nice job by Ballentine to get back in the play and break it up but Love would like that one back. Pass still hit Musgrave’s hands and could have been caught.

Dontayvion Wicks just walked to the side with a trainer. Not sure if it was the “hit” he took over the middle from Gaines on the throw from McGough. Hopefully he’s ok.

Back to team. Watson beats Douglas easy on a corner route but Love misses wide.

Love scrambles for a nice pickup on the next play. Nice job navigating the pocket. Kept eyes downfield.

Etling completes quick out to Deguara. Leavitt with stop.

Etling incomplete to Goodson. Wilson in tight coverage.

Nice job by Sean Clifford ducking the pass rush and finding Bo Melton over the middle.

Nice rep by RT Tenuta v. Cox.

Love hits Doubs over the middle again. That’s been the best connection so far for the offense. Preston may have had a sack on the play.

Play action roll out to the right, finds Deguara in the flat, Campbell close by.

Love finds Toure over the middle on a slant with Nixon in coverage from the slot. Love's best throw of the day so far. A nice little side arm throw. Success for the passing game today has been to this part of the field.

And that wraps up practice after 90 minutes. The defense won the day so the offense does pushups.



Defense:

Jonathan Garvin, an outside linebacker the past 3 seasons, working with the defensive line during individual drills.

Starting defense: Preston - Wyatt - Clark - Slaton - Hollins | Quay - Campbell | Jaire - Ford - Savage - Douglas

Devonte Wyatt blew by Musgrave for a would-be sack. Hello. Impressive speed off the ball by Wyatt.

Leavitt and Owens with second defense at safety. Ballentine and Valentine on boundary.

Kenny Clark knives through easily for a stop in the backfield on a stretch play right. Kenny doing Kenny stuff.

Slaton also get a TFL

Dillon stopped for no gain on next play.

Nice run fill by Jonathan Owens on a toss right. McDuffie right there as well. No gain for P Taylor.

SJC all over a throw to the flat from Etling to Melton. Incomplete.

Nice run by Lew Nichols. LVN likely would have had him if live tackling.

LVN all over a run to the right by Wilson.

Really nice rep from Anthony Johnson at S. Recognized run play and filled gap at LOS.

Campbell, Clark and Slaton all over a run to the right. Tough sledding for the run game early.

Preston Smith gets by Tom on an inside rush. Love finds Dillon in the flat but nice Coverage by Campbell. He was right there for a stop.

As team periods are going on - Rashan Gary (who’s rehabbing his ACL) is off on the side signing autographs and taking pictures with young fans.

Don’t forget about Innis Gaines at safety. Great read and PBU vs McGough.

Kiondre Thomas is visibly in pain and hurt. His hand got caught up in a PBU. He’s on the sideline kneeling down. Must’ve been a stinger because he’s back up and wanting to go back out there.

3rd and 3: defense shows pressure, but doesn’t blitz. 3 LBs on field. Incomplete to Jones. McDuffie in coverage

Corey Ballentine just punched a ball out from Doubs. Nixon had great coverage initially and play would have been done before the fumble but they continued on.

Keisean Nixon with a diving PBU vs Jayden Reed. Laid out to knock away a Jordan Love pass on a slant to middle of the field. Really nice play by 25!

Benny Sapp with a pbu against Tucker Kraft on a pass from McGough.

Blocking is going to be a steep learning curve for the rookie TEs. Smith just flies by Musgrave. Likely would have been a sack.

Love with an underthrow to Doubs deep. Jaire with a pbu. Jaire’s looked fantastic so far. As expected. To be fair, Love is throwing into a steep wind today. Definite factor.

Kenny Clark with a quick pressure. Love rolls right and finds a wide open Toure but Love leads him too far right and Toure catches it out of bounds.

Best players of day one: Jaire Alexander, Kenny Clark, De’Vondre Campbell


Special Teams:

Windy day for Carlson. He packs some power. O’Donnell holding. Good from 40L, 42R. Missed 44L.

3-3 this time. 41, 43 and 45 yards.


Interviews:

LaFleur Presser:


LaFleur says David Bakhtiari's practice plan will be modified. "It's gonna be pretty fluid," a lot of it will be predicated on communicated among David, coaching staff and trainers.

Matt LaFleur says rookie WR Grant DuBose had back issue that kept him out of spring program. He's on PUP but anticipates him being able to go in camp at some point.

Next Event: Practice, July 27th 10:30AM CT.
