Packers News: Top training camp battles, Kentrell Brice injury update

A roundup of the latest Green Bay Packers articles for Wednesday, August 1.

Good morning and welcome to the Packers News Report.

There’s some positive news for Green Bay Packers safety Kentrell Brice. After being carted off during Monday’s practice, it appears his injury isn’t as serious as it was initially feared. According to Bill Huber of 247Sports.com and Packer Report, Brice was “relieved” that it wasn’t as serious as many thought.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network confirmed that Brice’s x-rays were negative on Twitter, although he reported there is concern about Jake Ryan’s injury.

#Packers coach Mike McCarthy said LB Jake Ryan is still undergoing tests, but a source said the fear is a serious knee injury. As for S Kentrell Brice, X-Rays were negative for a break, but he’ll know his timetable when the swelling goes down.
