The Green Bay Packers completed mandatory minicamp on Thursday.

Good morning and welcome to the Packers News Report for Friday, June 15.

The Green Bay Packers have finished mandatory minicamp. The summer break now begins. Or for us fans, the quietest time of the NFL calendar. But don’t worry, there’s still a lot to discuss about the 2018 Packers, and that’s what we are here for at Lombardi Ave.

So, just how long is the break?

The answer is not long. The team’s first training camp practice will be held on Thursday, July 26. That’s just 41 days from now. The first game of preseason follows shortly after, 55 days from now. And the regular season opener is a month later, in 86 days time.

But forget about that for a moment. Let’s still a lot going on here in June. Here’s a roundup of the latest articles from around the internet.
