First pre-season game is in the books!
Packers won 28-26 but what does that really mean lol
I (Andy) didnʼt even watch the game - had other commitments
Oren Burks has a torn pectoral muscle and will likely be lost for the season(!)
No other significant injuries to speak of
Jason Spriggs got cut - he was a HUGE bust of a pick
This wasnʼt all that surprising but itʼs still very disappointing
He really seemed like a canʼt miss type of draft pick - it just goes to show how fickle the NFL draft really is.
Both starting RBs are hurt, although Aaron Jones returned to practice today
Dexter Williams, 6th round pick, looks very good except he canʼt catch the ball - something Lefleur REALLY wants in his RBs.
The most impressive player during all of training camp so far is probably Danny Vitale - the fullback lol
Aaron Rodgers isnʼt a fan of joint practices & Trevor Davis got injured on a live kick-off return drill during one these joint practices
There seems to be this goofy narrative that LeFleur & Aaron Rodgers are feuding lol
Apparently the Packers were in the running to trade for the Ravenʼs kicker
