Six Biggest Takeaways From First Three Practices of Packers Training Camp
Sports Illustrated • • sports
Key Points:
- After four days of training camp, the Green Bay Packers will rest on Saturday before returning to padded practices on Monday, marking the unofficial start of camp.
- Quarterback Jordan Love is showing strong control and accuracy, with coach Matt LaFleur praising his pocket balance and offensive command, suggesting he could perform at an MVP level despite fewer big statistical opportunities.
- The Packers face concerns about receiver depth beyond their top three targets—Christian Watson, Matthew Golden, and Jayden Reed—as backups have yet to emerge as reliable contributors.
- New starting left tackle Jordan Morgan is progressing well in protecting Love’s blind side, with early practices showing promise despite occasional setbacks.
- The cornerback group appears improved with returning Keisean Nixon and new additions Benjamin St-Juste, Brandon Cisse, and Carrington Valentine, but the team still struggles with pass rush due to the absence of Micah Parsons, relying heavily on blitzing to pressure quarterbacks.
