It will then be all about the regular season opener against the Chicago Bears.
There will be a number of important positional battles determined at training camp.
Who will be the backup quarterback behind Aaron Rodgers: DeShone Kizer or Brett Hundley? Could the Packers keep three quarterbacks on the 53-man roster?
How does head coach Mike McCarthy plan to distribute the carries at running back? Will one of Ty Montgomery, Aaron Jones or Jaamal Williams earn a featured role, or will McCarthy opt for more of a running back-by-committee approach?
Will any of the rookies earn a starting job?
