Packers Training Camp Updates

GREEN BAY – The Packers held their 11th open practice of training camp on Wednesday at Nitschke Field, fully equipped in pads.

Key Takeaways from the Practice

Here are five notable observations from the session:

1. Consistency from Romeo Doubs

Wide receiver Romeo Doubs continues to impress, making at least one standout play daily. During Wednesday’s practice, he capped a red-zone drive with a touchdown catch from quarterback Jordan Love. Just a day prior, he snagged a long pass from Love, and last week, he made an incredible back-shoulder catch along the sidelines.

2. Edgerrin Cooper Shines on Defense

Linebacker Edgerrin Cooper was a dominant force during practice, displaying his speed and football IQ. He disrupted numerous plays, Showing exceptional anticipation that makes him challenging for offenses to handle. Love noted that Cooper’s quickness often leaves offensive linemen struggling to block him effectively.

3. Injury Updates

Veteran left tackle Rasheed Walker returned to practice after a brief absence due to a groin injury but was limited to individual drills. Consequently, Jordan Morgan continued to work with the first team. Meanwhile, rookie defensive lineman Warren Brinson left practice due to an upper arm injury.

4. Intense One-on-One Matchups

One-on-one drills between receivers and defenders were highly competitive, featuring notable pairings such as Doubs against Carrington Valentine. Several matchups showcased the skill of the players, with many of them trading wins throughout the drills. A highlight was Matthew Golden‘s successful catch against Keisean Nixon.

5. Preseason Readiness

As the Packers approach their preseason opener, Love stated that the message from Coach LaFleur has been to stay prepared to play. Players are eager to face a different defense, as consistently practicing against their own can become monotonous. Love expressed the importance of getting some game-time experience to regain that competitive mindset.
