The Green Bay Packers will hold a scrimmage on Sunday afternoon at Lambeau Field. Coach Matt LaFleur wants a “game-like” environment, with unscripted sessions, players in uniform, coaches in headsets and officials on the field.
Follow along below for live updates from the scrimmage:
– Coach Matt LaFleur on the scrimmage:
“It’s going to be our closest opportunity to a game-like experience. We’re going to have the guys in their uniforms. It’s going to be all unscripted. We’re going to start off, kind of similar to how we do a normal practice, in terms of a quick walkthrough, we’ll get into our stretch, we’ll have some individual time and then we’ll go into one-on-ones. And then from there on out, it’s all going to be scrimmage situation.
“Hopefully, we can get into some situational ball that happens naturally throughout the course of a game. Our coaches will be up in the press box. We’ll have our headsets on. We’re going to have the tablets, the NFL is coming in here to help us with typical game-day procedures. We’ll have some officials. So I’m really excited to see how our guys respond to that situation. Just hear the call, so they can go out there and play fast. Just really excited for that opportunity for these guys.”
