Green Bay Packers training camp highlights as NFL preseason heats up

The Green Bay Packers entered the second week of training camp with several position battles drawing attention. Rookie running back Marshawn Lloyd impressed with pass‑catching ability and avoided injury, while left tackle Jordan Morgan showed strong one‑on‑one play. Defensive rookie Brandon Cisse earned praise for his 1‑on‑1 performance, and new defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon emphasized a blitz‑heavy approach as the team awaits the return of star linebacker Micah Parsons.

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur expressed enthusiasm for a forthcoming joint practice against his brother Mike LaFleur’s Arizona Cardinals, noting he “can’t wait to whip his a** again.” The matchup will be the first time the brothers face each other as opposing NFL coaches.

Elsewhere in NFL preseason news, the Cleveland Browns cut reserve offensive tackle Jack Conley to make room for former Raiders cornerback Tyler Hall, adding depth to a secondary already anchored by Denzel Ward and Tyson Campbell. Browns training camp observations highlighted emerging talents on both offense and defense, including promising rookie wide receivers and a stout defensive front.

The Minnesota Vikings’ punter competition also took shape, with veteran Pro Bowl punter Johnny Hekker holding a clear advantage over international player pathway punter Brett Thorson, though Thorson remains on the roster under the pathway exemption.
