From a couple injury scares to a bunch of big plays, here’s everything you need to know about Wednesday at Green Bay Packers training camp.
GREEN BAY, Wis. – The most exciting play during Wednesday’s practice at Green Bay Packers training camp turned into the scariest, when receiver Christian Watson was slow to get up after an end-zone interception by Evan Williams. Watson is fine, making Williams’ interception the highlight of the 12th practice of camp.Jordan Love’s day started poorly and ended poorly. In between, there were was a lot of efficient play as he finished 15-of-24 passing.
With the ball on the defense’s 18 and 50 seconds on the clock, Love was involved in the Play of the Day.The offense was in position to at least tie the score when Love stepped to the line with the ball on the 18. Love threw to the back of the end zone, giving Christian Watson a jump-ball opportunity against rookie safety Evan Williams. Williams was in great position, though, and made a leaping interception.
Watson didn’t think the injury would impact his availability for Thursday’s practice or Saturday’s preseason game at the Cleveland Browns.Cornerback Jaire Alexander had a quiet day during team periods. But that’s good if you’re a cornerback because that means your man isn’t getting open. That’s been the story of Alexander’s training camp. He’s given up some completions but they’ve been few and far in between and, generally, for minimal gains.
Christian Watson’s final play wasn’t the only scare. Fellow receiver Malik Heath got tangled up as a blocker on a running play and went down for a few minutes. Trainers checked his left knee and took him inside the Don Hutson Center. Fortunately, he not only didn’t suffer a torn ACL, he was back in the action by the end of practice.- New kicker Alex Hale made 5-of-6 field goals during his first day with the team.
- On Tuesday, our Player of the Day was defensive end Brenton Cox. He had another excellent day. He stopped back-to-back runs by Emanuel Wilson and Jarveon Howard, with the latter creating a loss of about 5. - The next two third-down plays were foiled by defensive tackle Karl Brooks, who ruined a screen, and Rochell, who appeared to break up a pass to Grant DuBose. Later, on fourth-and-9, Rochell broke up another pass, though that one was nullified by defensive offside.- Wilson was stuffed on first-and-goal by defensive tackle TJ Slaton, who did a little dancing to celebrate.
“We were battling and, unfortunately, things happen and now we’re not really splitting reps anymore,” Rhyan said. “It’s just me, at least for the time being. So, in my position, I feel like I’ve just got to capitalize on it and show them that they still have a pretty good right guard.”
