#Packers awarded running back Israel Abanikanda off waivers from #49ers per a league source @KPRC2
Veteran K Brandon McManus enjoys perfect start to Packers training camp packerswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/n…
Tucker Kraft catches an 8-yard leak from Jordan Love, but Javon Bullard punches it out from behind. Xavier McKinney scoops it and goes the other way. Second fumble for #Packers offense today (Josh Jacobs), first lost.
Brandon McManus is now 15/15 during two open practices and 9/9 today on his 34th birthday. Makes from 33, 33, 38, 40, 41, 41, 43, 44, 46, 46, 46, 48, 51, 51 and 56.
Wicks looks fantastic. Getting open per usual - catching everything his way. No I don’t believe in jinxes and yes I still have all my Wicks stock.
10/10 after hitting from 56
Brandon McManus now 9/9 in camp after hitting from 51, 51 and 33 during first three two-minute drills.
It’s only Day 3 but Brandon McManus hasn’t missed yet. Just nailed back-to-back 51-yard FGs to end 2-minute drives.
Packers Camp No. 3 Not practicing: G Aaron Banks (back) WR Savion Williams (concussion) LB Quay Walker (ankle) WR Christian Watson (knee) DE Collin Oliver (hamstring) RB Amar Johnson (hamstring) OL John Williams (back) OL Elgton Jenkins (back) #gbpwh
#Packers rookie WR Savion Williams has a concussion, not practicing.
First OL today with no Elgton Jenkins or Aaron Banks: LT: Rasheed Walker LG: Jordan Morgan C: Sean Rhyan RG: Jacob Monk RT: Zach Tom
Packers LG Aaron Banks considered 'day to day' after suffering back injury at practice packerswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/n…
Anytime the Packers are asked about left tackle Rasheed Walker, the answer is some version of... "He's capable, but he needs to be more consistent."
LaFleur says Savion Williams won’t practice today. Declines to say why.
LaFleur says Aaron Banks is day-to-day with a back injury. That’s why Travis Glover took reps at starting left guard in multiple team periods yesterday.
Hopefully LaFleur can provide some good news on Aaron Banks, who left practice early yesterday. Of the things that truly matter during camp, injuries to key players are near the top
Travis Glover has replaced Aaron Banks at LG the last couple team periods. Unclear if it’s injury-related.
Packers DL Kenny Clark is healthy again: 'I'm allowed to play free and be me' packerswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/n…
Kenny Clark is healthy again: "It's good not to think about it...Today I felt a lot more comfortable. I’m allowed to play free and be me.” A rebound season from 97 would solve so much for the Packers front.
Matthew Golden has a new nickname, but it’s only between him and Rich Bisaccia. The Packers special teams coordinator even gave the rookie first-rounder homework to learn about the legend behind the name. More here in today’s full camp dispatch: nytimes.com/athletic/65141…
Xavier McKinney on Isaiah Simmons: "He’s going to be a big part of our defense and he’s going to help us a lot.”
Yes, it's two days into camp and the pads aren't on and so on, but it's easy to see why #Packers LB Isaiah Simmons was the eighth pick of the draft in 2020. ⬇️ si.com/nfl/packers/fo…
Excellent uniform matchup for the season finale
So nice, we're wearing them twice 💜💛 📰: mnvkn.gs/3H09t94
