If you can’t be in Green Bay to watch the Packers go through their paces each day during training camp, fear not. Twitter will come to the rescue.

Should you not have a Twitter account, you might want to get on and follow some of the Packers beat writers who are utilizing the social media platform to keep everyone informed with up-to-the-minute tweets about everything that anyone one would possibly want to know.

Poring over today’s tweets from a select group of my favorite beat writers, here are some that help explain just what’s happening.

#Packers practice attendance so far: No sign of Finley (concussion), Hargrove (personal). WR Greg Jennings, WR Shaky Smithson not in pads.

#Packers players could not have asked for better day for first practice in pads. Temperature 68 degrees this morning. twitter.com/jasonjwilde/st…

So Sam Shields gets his 1st reps with the first-team in the dime package and gives up a touchdown to Cobb in no time, not helping his cause

#Packers first-round OLB Nick Perry had an impressive win against seventh-round OT Andrew Datko in 1-on1s.

— Jason Wilde (@jasonjwilde) July 28, 2012

Tough adjustment by Gurley to haul in deep, 40+ heave from Coleman. Uses his size well in traffic. Caught a couple of those last year.

— Tyler Dunne (@TyDunne) July 28, 2012

Three drops so far today for Cobb. RT @BrianCarriveau It would appear that way. RT @o2b1cmk Cobb also has a couple drops, correct?

— Paul Imig (@Paulimig) July 28, 2012

RT @MikeVandermause: Bush, Williams, Woodson and Burnett starting DBs in base defense team drill. #Packers

— PackersNews.com (@PGPackersNews) July 28, 2012

Jarrett Bush reads a throwback to Alex Green and isn’t shy in tackling him to the ground. He’s not holding back today.?

— Tyler Dunne (@TyDunne) July 28, 2012

Despite how explosive Cobb can be on offense, have to imagine they’ll limit his snaps a little just to keep him fresh for return duties.

— Brian Carriveau (@BrianCarriveau) July 28, 2012

RT @ZachHeilprin: Cobb being used as the tailback in the no-huddle.

— Brian Carriveau (@BrianCarriveau) July 28, 2012

Two more grabs by D.J. Williams in team here, one with a step on Woodson from Rodgers. Don’t think he has dropped any passes thru 3 days.

— Tyler Dunne (@TyDunne) July 28, 2012

After shaky day on Friday, Coleman making solid throws to Gurley and Williams to close the third day of practice

— Wes Hodkiewicz (@WesHod) July 28, 2012

Greg Jennings has an elbow bruise, “day to day” MM says.

— Tyler Dunne (@TyDunne) July 28, 2012

McCarthy praises Bush, says he’s always been one of secondary’s most physical players. Admits he has asked him to do too much in past.

— Tyler Dunne (@TyDunne) July 28, 2012

RT @WesHod: MM: Hoping to have Finley back Monday

— Brian Carriveau (@BrianCarriveau) July 28, 2012

Called today’s first padded practice just “OK.” Some sloppiness. Liked the completions along the perimeter with the offense.

— Tyler Dunne (@TyDunne) July 28, 2012

Very doubtful RT @HaitianKid79: @BrianCarriveau Any chance Packers deal James Jones before season?

— Brian Carriveau (@BrianCarriveau) July 28, 2012

First padded practice in the book for the #Packers. Here are some quick thoughts. Another solid practice for … sulia.com/c/green-bay-pa…

#Packers LB Desmond Bishop says he’ll be ready for the regular season but he remains sidelined with a calf injury. blogs.greenbaypressgazette.com/blogs/gpg/insi…

— Rob Demovsky (@RobDemovsky) July 28, 2012

Another good line from House: “Last year, I was a no one. This year, I have to show up.” He got some work in the dime package today.

There are those who are brutally honest about the happenings in the game. Some are witty and some just plain deadpan.

I thought it might be fun to give just a taste of what was posted last night during the Vikings vs. Packers game.

Enjoy.

Cobb first rookie in GB history to have a 100-yard KR, 80-yard PR in same season.

Packers up 14-0, 5:02 remain in 1Q. Drive: 11 plays, 70 yards, 4:53 time of possession. 24-yard TD pass to Jennings

See more after the jump …

(more…)

Here are a few:

• Packers linebacker Frank Zombo appears to be out for Sunday’s game against the Vikings … that’s after just one game of action after being cleared to play from a previous broken collarbone.

• Greg Jennings said he loves going to other stadiums and hearing the “GO PACK GO! chant.

• Former Packer Will Blackmon got a tryout with the New York Giants.

• Sam Shields appears to be making progress with his concussion testing. However, whether he makes enough progress to play Sunday remains to be seen.

• With Zombo out, it appears So’oto may finally get his chance to play. Many in Packers nation have been waiting since his breakout game during the final preseason tilt against KC to see him play.

• T.O., according to his agent, is ready to play and went so far as to claim he could play this weekend. But I don’t see his door being broken down yet.

• Vikings defensive ends Allen and Robison have 14 sacks between them. The Packers young tackles will surely have their hands full.

• Packers rookie received Randall Cobb tweeted: “Did I just get followed home?”  Hmmmmm … maybe a bit paranoid?

It’s good to see life goes on normally for these guys despite all the confusion in the world of sports.
