Found a nice summary :

General:
  • No pads today.
  • Packers have signed RB Corey Grant (former Jaguar) to fill our 90th roster spot. Wearing No. 35.
  • Packers have signed former Wisconsin DL Olive Sagapolu. He’s wearing No. 67 on the field this morning.
  • DL Eric Cotton has been cut. Roster at 90.
  • It's raining and practice is still being held outside.
Not Practicing: S Darnell Savage (Wisdom Tooth Recovery), LB Greg Roberts
Injuries: Matt LaFleur (Achilles-pretty serious), K Mason Crosby (Calf-not serious), CB Josh Jackson (Foot-not serious),
LB Kendall Donnerson (Hamstring)
Offense:
  • Sweet back shoulder throw from Rodgers to EQ over Alexander. Nice sky from EQ
  • Pretty quiet start today. Lots of drill work & jog throughs. Some players who looked sharp in receiving drills: Darrius Shepherd, Jace Sternberger, Robert Tonyan, Davante Adams. Boyle was also very accurate in receiver drills. Kizer has not had a strong start to camp at all.
  • Jamaal Williams split out wide for a few plays today and yesterday.
  • Burks had really good coverage on Williams but Williams made a great contested catch.
  • Malcolm Johnson has a step on Summers but Kizer over throws him
  • Kumerow beats Will Redmond on a great comeback move.
  • M. Lewis beats Preston Smith easy.
  • Vitale runs a nice angle rte in Crawford.
  • A. Jones beats Blake on a wheel!!! Over the Shoulder catch too.
  • Grant gets best of Bolton.
  • Trevor Davis just went up and got one against Kevin King in 1-on-1s.
  • Dime from Boyle to Jawill but Jawill drops the over the shoulder catch. Jawill had his man beat.
  • Robert Tonyan gets first TE rep in team period today. He’s getting a real chance to not just make the roster, but contribute.
  • Corey Grant shows off that 4.28 speed as he bursts to the outside for what would have been a big gainer.
  • Trevor Davis on jet sweep with Jimmy Graham leading excellent blocking. Big Gain.
  • Manny Wilkins gets three reps. Two handoffs and a bootleg where he throws high to a wide open Tonyan for an incompletion. Tough way to live trying to make a team.
  • Dexter Williams cuts back nicely before he ran into Rashan Gary who was on the edge waiting for him. Nice run by Williams.
  • During 1st and 10 period, offense ran 15 plays and 11 of them were runs. QBs were in shotgun just twice.
  • Feel like the WR competition is just getting started, but right now Marquez Valdez-Scantling is pretty clearly ahead of EQ St. Brown as the second perimeter WR across Davante Adams. (Geronimo Allison in the slot.)
  • Rodgers to Kumerow in 7x7 And the crowd goes wild
  • 1v1 DL vs OL Good initial push by Z but Bakhtiari stymies him. Linsley beats Montravius, strong anchor. Clark beats Turner off the line but Turner recovers perfectly. Next rep Turner dominates Clark. Bulaga takes care of Preston.
  • Fackrell with a little pressure vs Light. Keke loses rep 1, better rep 2. Patrick gets the best of Lancaster twice. Jenkins and Looney with a good battle 2x. Gary is so damn good. Spriggs no chance. Oof. Spriggs does better rep 2 but Gary powers through it.
  • Oh that was sick. Fake a sweep to MVS and threw a backside slant to Davante in the vacated space. Davante cooks King - easy money from 12. Davante doing Davante things. King continues to struggle with in breakers.
  • Rodgers to Allison on a quick pass, nice route from 81, super quick throw from 12.
  • Rodgers to Baylis who fumbles but recovers. Looked like Martinez jarred it loose.
  • Boyle quick throw outside to T-Davis. Boyle continues to get a ton of of work with the 2’s ahead of DeShone Kizer.
  • Wilkins climbs the pocket and delivers a nice pass to Moore on a crosser. A very nice throw to J’Mon who had separation, makes a move in the open field and makes a huge play. Best play by J’Mon In camp so far.
  • Rodgers looking sharper today. Just hit Adams on second read with quick-release touch pass off back foot for nice gain, kind of throw/completion you don’t see every day. Perfect timing thrown well before Adams break to a hole in the zone coverage...no defense is stopping that.
  • Alex Light great job on Gary. Kizer finds EQ who explodes up field
  • Kizer misses Sternberger on a crosser.
  • Saw a lot of 21 personnel in yesterday’s install. Today, the inverse. Lots of 12 personnel with Robert Tonyan getting a good helping of first-team reps.
  • Tim Boyle wirh a ridiculous starter level throw to hit Davante Adams for a big gain. Fantastic anticipation and Adams made a great adjustment and catch. It is ridiculous how much the game has shown down for Adams.
  • Boyle w/ another huge anticipation throw to a sliding Kumerow! Tim Boyle might be QB2.
  • Jamaal Williams with a nice run up the middle bit a holding call brings it back
  • Kizer with the 2s in this session as he fires to Sternberger who gets up field nicely.
  • False start by de Beer. Offense
  • Boyle quick pass to Shepherd.
Defense:
  • CB Tony Brown went to ground in a special teams drill and seems to have hurt an ankle. Heading into the Hutson Center with a trainer. Back already, no worries.
  • OLB Kendall Donnerson heading inside with an apparent hamstring or groin injury.
  • Burks with a great coverage rep against Jones. INT. Stuck with Jones on a double move in the open field, jammed him, undercut the route and made a super athletic pick. Great play for Burks.
  • After the great reps from Burks he gets beat by Malcolm Johnson but almost ends up with a pick after the throw wasn’t handled by Johnson.
  • I don’t know what’s going to happen when the pads come on, but Zadarius Smith is CONSTANTLY in the backfield during team drills.
  • Aaron stops to tie his shoe before the snap and then Kenny Clark stuffs Jones.
  • Fadol Brown with a big time run stuff against Dexter Williams. That was a flash play for Fadol. Next play guess who shoots in the backfield again... Fadol Brown. Carrying over from a good showing in OTAs.
  • Jaire Alexander gets a step on MVS and ALMOST picked (one handed) off a deep pass from Aaron Rodgers but ends up only a pass breakup.
  • Some miscommunication between Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams leads to a Kevin King interception. Adams turned one way, Rodgers threw the other. Offense still learning.
  • Fadol Brown and Kyler Fackrell with nice wins to end one on ones. Really nice day from Fadol so far.
  • Just a side note, and I know it was against Spriggs, but Rashan Gary is an athletic freak and might be the definition of quick twitch.
  • Raven Greene fills his gap well and shuts down Jamaal Williams. Williams just not very elusive in the open field.
  • Tim Boyle with an attempted deep back shoulder to J’Mon but Ka’dar has sticky coverage and breaks it up nicely. One rookie to keep an eye on.
  • Fadol Brown having a freaking day. Just would have sacked Boyle who fired deep post to J’Mon anyway but it’s off target. Brown beat Lucas Patrick.
  • Sullivan almost picks Boyle on a slant. Ball was bobbled a few times, good play by Chandon.
  • Pass breakup & sticky coverage by Tramon on G-Mo.
  • Fantastic throw after breaking pocket from AR to Adams but Amos is there to break it up last minute, good recovery speed.
  • Shepherd got jammed well by Chandon Sullivan who also got a hand in to break up the pass. Sullivan is having a good day.
  • The entire defensive front of Preston, Clark, Lowry, & Za’Darius converged for a sack on Rodgers. Complete collapse of the pocket.
  • Rollout play one. Preston all over it. Rodgers gets it out to Mercedes incomplete but looks like he was held.
  • Ka’Dar in with the 1's. Clark and Burks stuff Jones!
  • Offense can’t get lined up and needs to call a timeout. Really tough showing for the offense so far, defense is dominating.
  • Defense stuffs Tre Carson.
  • Reggie Gilbert gets around de Beer for a would be sack and that does it for practice!
Special Teams:
  • Jaire Alexander, Trevor Davis and Tramon Williams back returning punts.
  • Scott hits 11 punts, 1 bad (38 yards OB), 9 of 50 yds or more with wind at his back with hang times 4.46 or better. 57.3 yard average 4.43 average hang time.
  • For you punt aficionados: 48 yards, 4.05 seconds | 38, 3.80 | 62, 4.46 | 60, 4.86 | 60, 4.65 | 51, 4.02 | 63, 4.46 | 55, 4.58 | 61, 4.80 | 62, 4.38 | 59, 4.58
 
Press Conference Notes:
  • Matt LaFleur asked if he considered going inside because of the rain today. “Last time I checked, this is football. And I’m sure we’re going to be playing in elements up here in Green Bay.” Unless there’s an injury risk, LaFleur says practice stays outdoors. ”
  • Loud car alarm interrupts Matt LaFleur’s presser. Reporter: “Is that yours?” LaFleur: “Nope. I don’t even lock my doors around here.” Reporter: “You probably don’t wanna say that on live television.”
  • LaFleur says a number of teams were after RB Corey Grant. Team had to do a bit of recruiting to get him to GB.
 
I have to say, this is probably the most excited I've been for a season since about 2014. New coaching. New blood on defense. Lots of promise.
 
If Corey Grant makes the team and Will Redmond doesn't, they should give Grant #25. That way all the people who have old jerseys can be up to date again. :p

Would everyone have to chip in to help Grant in getting his last name changed to Redmond, or would we just line out that name and put Grant underneath it with a felt pen? ;)
