NOT PRACTICING:

Jordan Love (contract holdout but Love is attending today's practice), Marshawn Lloyd (hip), Corey Ballentine and Caleb Jones (hamstrings),  Donovan Jennings (knee), Kitan Olapado (toe), and Tucker Kraft (pec).  Jaylen Reed came off the NFI list.  Reed and Zach Tom only did individual work.  TE Tyler Davis getting some work after being solely in the rehab group during OTAs and minicamp.  

PERSONNEL:

Starting OL with Elgton Jenkins getting a rest day: Rasheed Walker, Sean Rhyan, Josh Myers, Jordan Morgan, Kadeem Telfort. An opportunity for Morgan with the first team.  2) Andre Dillard getting second-team reps at left tackle. He’d been getting first-team reps at right tackle, but that’s Zach Tom’s spot when he returns to team reps. The Packers appear to be cross training Dillard for potential depth.  Wood

Kadeem Telfort starts at RT today instead of Andre Dillard with Zach Tom still sidelined from 11-on-11.  Schneidman  [Tom started at RT during walkthroughs, but since he can't fully practice yet, Telfort played with the ones during drills.  TGR]

Number 2 OL: Dillard - Newman - Monk - L. Smith - Tenuta.  2) Interesting that in individual drills they have the outside corners and slot corners separated. Nixon and Kalen King the only two working with the slot group.  Herman

Along with getting some snaps with the ones at RT today, the Packers were playing Telfort at guard during offseason programs. He said that was the first time he’d lined up at guard since junior college but it gave him a better understanding of the offense.  Bretl

Starting lineups in walkthrough: Clifford Jacobs Wicks - Reed - Watson Musgrave Walker - Rhyan - Myers - Morgan - Tom Gary - Slaton - Clark - Smith Quay - McDuffie Stokes - Nixon - Jaire Bullard - McKinney.  Herman

Kadeem Telfort said he was down in South Florida during the offseason with Wicks and Reed working on his footwork. He said Grant DuBose was there as well.  Bretl

OFFENSE:

Really good pull block from Josh Myers on a perimeter run for AJ Dillon, sealing off the edge. That’s what Myers does well, great mobility for a big center.  Wood

Teflort just had a really nice rep against Gary. Absorbed his power move, anchored and stalled him out.  2) Kadeem Telfort is taking some snaps with the #1 OL in OL warmups. Dillard is with the 3’s. It could mean absolutely nothing but will be interesting to see if maybe someone else like Telfort gets a chance at RT today. It’s been a struggle for Dillard.  Herman

Herman responding to those who noted that Watson, Reed, and Wicks were the starters in 11 personnel and other observers suggesting that Doubs might be the odd man out this season:  Don't put too much stock into the WR's. They rotate those guys a ton. It doesn't mean much."  Herman

Safe bet that you’ll see the Bo Melton end around this season. Packers just ran it again and got Melton to the edge with Tyler Davis blocking Jaire Alexander.  Schneidman

Nice throw from Pratt over the middle to Bo Melton. Then another one to Heath but Heath dropped it.  2)  Nice throw from Clifford to Doubs in stride over the middle. Jaire in coverage. Jaire follows it up with a near pick of Clifford but Wicks is able to break it up.  3) Eason with the best throw of practice so far on a rollout his left, lofting it perfectly to DuBose over Gemon Green. 4) We may need to have a Ryan Tannehill conversation. I fully get and understand the Colts/Peyton Manning mantra of “we don’t practice fu*ked” but the offense is a nightmare right now without Love. (To be fair it’s still insanely early and these are young QBs). Herman

DEFENSE:

Isaiah McDuffie blew up multiple run plays during 11-on-11 today. Don't count him out just yet in that linebacker group. Packers might have something with Quay, McDuffie and Cooper.  Schneidman

Enagbare all over a wide receiver screen to Wicks. It feels like there are 14 defenders on the field. 2)  Keshawn Banks did a really nice job setting the edge on a run. He pushed back Dillard.  Herman  [Dillard's strength is supposed to be run blocking.  TGR]

Great coverage from Eric Stokes alone down right sideline against Christian Watson. Sean Clifford threw it up for Watson, but Stokes ran with him step for step downfield, and had the leverage to seal him off against the sideline. A snapshot of why Stokes has so much potential. 2) Another great play from Eric Stokes, jumping a Sean Clifford pass to Christian Watson for an interception. Would’ve been a pick 6. Stokes’ second interception today. He’s balling right now.  3) Couple reps later, Eric Stokes catches a drop off Dontayvion Wicks’ hands to intercept a Sean Clifford pass. Good finish from Stokes snagging the deflection before football hit the ground.  4) More Eric Stokes: defensive pass interference against Christian Watson. Sean Clifford under threw a deep ball on the left sideline, hung it up in the air too long, and Stokes trucked him as Watson waited for it.  Wood

Eric Stokes was the star of camp on Wednesday with two INTs and a nice PBU. It’s only one day without pads, but it might signify there’s substance behind offseason hoopla surrounding the 2021 first-rounder and his rehab after two trying seasons.  Schneidman

Slot corners doing work in the run game. Nixon with a stop at the line then Kalen King with a stop behind the line. Such a huge part of that position.  2) Carrington Valentine with a near pick of Pratt. His 3rd pass breakup since yesterday.  2) Players like AJJ, Evan Williams, and Edgerrin Cooper are rotating in with the ones. But Carrington Valentine is on the other side of the field with the 2’s. It’s early - and read into depth chart stuff at your own risk, but certainly seems like Stokes is ahead of Valentine early.  Herman

Rookie safety Evan Williams with his first pick of camp, winning a Sean Clifford jump ball in the end zone over Dontayvion Wicks. Good finish on the play deep downfield from Williams.  2) Anthony Johnson Jr. with an interception against Jacob Eason. Certainly not Eason’s fault. He put it on the money to WR Jalen Wayne down the middle, but pass tipped off Wayne’s hands.  Wood

That does it for practice. Another dominant performance by the defense that included 5 interceptions (Stokes x2, Williams, AJJ, Sapp). Valentine & Jaire also had near picks. Offense does pushups after practice. A massive struggle for the QBs.  Herman

SPECIAL TEAMS:

Turner goes 2/3 again. He’s gone 2/3 every time. 4/6 on the day. 8/12 for camp so far.  2)Josh Jacobs getting some reps as KR.  Herman
