The wait is finally over. The Green Bay Packers are in town to get ready for the new season.

Players riding bikes to practice. Undrafted rookies becoming fan favorites. Jordan Love being Jordan Love. It marks the beginning of a new journey for this Packers team, one they hope ends in less heartbreak than the meltdown at Soldier Field six months ago.

There's also a lot on the line. While many starting spots are already locked in, there are notable positional battles at cornerback, kicker, and for depth across the roster. A few veterans are on the hot seat to begin the summer.

With the practices coming in thick and fast, it can be difficult keeping up with the action. We've got you covered. Bookmark this page, check back regularly, and we'll keep you up to date with the latest from Packers training camp.

Top lessons learned at Packers training camp so far

Matthew Golden is showing breakout signs

The Packers need second-year Matthew Golden to take on a bigger role following the departures of Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks. So far, so good.

Golden has taken a lot of snaps in the X role, which was vacated by Doubs. He has been one of the standouts of training camp and put on a show at Family Night. It sure looks like Golden could be poised for a breakout second season.

Packers' pass rush is failing to deliver consistently without Micah Parsons

There have been moments. Dani Dennis-Sutton looked good in the first padded practice. Lukas Van Ness is showing promise. Barryn Sorrell has made some plays in the first-team defense. But collectively, the Packers' edge-rushers aren't getting it done consistently. It shows just how badly they miss Micah Parsons. It will help once Devonte Wyatt and Javon Hargrave are at 100 percent, too.

Packers focused on increasing their tempo on offense

This is potentially a big deal. The Packers' offense has run at a frustratingly slow tempo in recent years, but we've seen more no-huddle and a quicker pace in the first week of camp. Matt LaFleur said it was a "big point of emphasis" this offseason. The result? It could lead to Jordan Love getting more opportunities to throw the ball, which is exactly what this offense needs in 2026.

Jordan Love to run more?

This stood out in the first practice of the summer. Reporters from practice, including Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette, noted that Love had scored two rushing touchdowns. Matt LaFleur said in the offseason that it was an "area of emphasis" for the offense to improve when plays break down, a hint that Love needed to be a more willing scrambler. Something to watch as camp goes on.

Latest practice updates

Wednesday, August 26 (Joint practice vs. Cardinals)

  • Jordan Love started the practice on fire, as did Matthew Golden
  • The two connected on a 45-yard touchdown
  • Benjamin St-Juste and Javon Bullard returned to practice
  • Brandon Cisse kicked off practice with an interception against Jacoby Brissett
  • Golden later had a rare drop on a potential touchdown, and it was part of a late collapse from the Packers' offense
  • Per The Athletic's Matt Schneidman, the Packers "lost all four two-minute periods"
  • Trey Smack has been on fire of late, but he went 2-of-5 on Wednesday, per ESPN's Rob Demovsky

Monday, August 24

  • Keisean Nixon had a big day, which included an interception of Jordan Love
  • Matt LaFleur said that rookie wide receiver J. Michael Sturdivant is in the concussion protocol
  • Josh Jacobs returned to 11-on-11 drills but is still limited
  • Per ESPN's Rob Demovsky, things got heated between Matthew Golden and Barryn Sorrell
  • Demovsky added that there may have been "couple punches thrown." He named Lukas Van Ness and Zaire Franklin
  • Right tackle Zach Bako-Bewele briefly left practice but appeared to avoid injury
  • Demovsky noted that Trey Smack converted three of four field goals, including a 60-yarder into the wind. He missed from 40 yards

Wednesday, August 19

  • Brandon Cisse looks locked into a starting job. He continues to get first-team reps while the other cornerbacks rotate
  • Cisse continues to impress. He held his own in reps against Matthew Golden
  • It was a different story for Keisean Nixon, who spent time with the first-team defense, the second team, and even some snaps with the third team
  • Dani Dennis-Sutton returned to practice after dealing with an illness
  • Aaron Banks resumed his role at left guard

Notable injury updates

RB Josh Jacobs

According to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic, Josh Jacobs isn't practicing on Thursday, August 6, due to a groin injury. Schneidman adds that the injury isn't believed to be "anything concerning," but it's something to monitor nonetheless.

Jacobs returned to practice on August 18.

Edge Micah Parsons

The Packers have placed Micah Parsons on the PUP list, as expected. While Green Bay can activate him at any moment, he will likely remain inactive throughout camp. Parsons is seven months removed from ACL surgery but requires at least a nine-month recovery window before he can return to football activities.

TE Luke Musgrave

Luke Musgrave is on the PUP list. Brian Gutekunst revealed that Musgrave is dealing with a neck injury and that the Packers are unsure of the severity and will "take our time."

"Luke's dealing with something right now that was a little bit unexpected, so we'll kind of see how that goes," Gutekunst said. "We're working through it to see if it's going to be something long-term or not. With heads, necks, and hearts, it's a little bit more sensitive than some of the other injuries."
