The Green Bay Packers won’t have fans at training camp practices this year due to the coronavirus pandemic, limiting access to the happenings of the team at Ray Nitschke Field.
But you’re in luck. Here’s a roundup of what happened at today’s practice, which actually took place at Lambeau Field:

JK tracker
Pretty solid punting session by JK Scott. 6 of 11 punts 55-plus. Of the 5 not, one was 52, another 45 high hang, and a 45 pinned to sideline. Two wobblers he’d want back.
— Mike Spofford (@mikespofford) August 25, 2020
Nine bombs and two stinkers for JK Scott in a punting period from his own 25: 51.5-yard average/4.52 hang. Worst one came under pressure (36 yards/3.46). But had 5 of 55+ ranging from 4.35 to 4.72

Big day for Lazard
Lazard breaks into the open on a third-down post route and Rodgers puts it in the money. Looked like a coverage bust and could have gone all the way. Lazard having a good day.
— Mike Spofford (@mikespofford) August 25, 2020
Been a big day for Lazard. Just snuck through secondary again to find hole in seam for big pass play from Rodgers

Flash from Keke
Keke busts into the backfield on a handoff to Dillon. Not sure he would have tackled him but definitely wrecked the play.
— Mike Spofford (@mikespofford) August 25, 2020
Kingsley Keke is having a nice camp. Impressive in the pass rush and just knifed through for a TFL with the offense backed up.

Is Rodgers watching old tape again?
Wrote about Rodgers yesterday and it’s been more of same today. He is dialed in.
— Bill Huber (@BillHuberSI) August 25, 2020
Aaron Rodgers dealing again today. He was 3-for-3 on 3rd down in move-the-ball drill: 33-yard completion to Allen Lazard on 3-7, 11-yard completion to Davante Adams on 3-9, and 9-yard completion to Aaron Jones on 3-6. The ball to Lazard came after a false start to set up 3-long.

Hello, Rashan Gary
By my count, that’s three sacks Rashan Gary would’ve had in team drills today if tackling the quarterback was allowed.

Kamal keeps showing up
I think the Packers found a player in Kamal Martin. Another good day for the rookie.
— Aaron Nagler (@AaronNagler) August 25, 2020
Rookie Kamal Martin just blew up a running play. Again. Then comes off block nicely to defend a screen. Hard not to notice the fifth-round pick from Minnesota.

12 to 17
12 hits a leaping 17 on a corner route to the end zone. Davante throws the ball into the heavens as he gets up. Good coverage by Jaire just a perfect throw and catch.
— Aaron Nagler (@AaronNagler) August 25, 2020
Aaron Rodgers still perfect on third down. Just dropped a perfect pass into Davante Adams for an 18-yard TD on 3-9. Hell of a diving catch from Adams, who leaped over Jaire Alexander in the end zone. Adams got up and flung the football into the empty stands.
— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) August 25, 2020
Rookie mistake
AJ Dillon with a drop on a simple crossing route. Remember he caught only 21 passes in 3 years at BC
— Rob Demovsky (@RobDemovsky) August 25, 2020
Red-zone results
Four red-zone drills:
Rodgers: 19-yard TD pass to Adams.
Boyle: FG after Dillon’s drop.
Rodgers: FG after just missing MVS low in the end zone.
Love: FG after near INT at the goal line.— Rob Demovsky (@RobDemovsky) August 25, 2020
Couple of misses from Crosby
Crosby misses on 2 of 4 in kicking drill – a PAT and from 48 yards. First one was a bad snap.

Defense wins two-minute
Defense stops Rodgers’ two-minute. Amos dropped InT, Kirksey breaks up one and nowhere to go on fourth down.
— Bill Huber (@BillHuberSI) August 25, 2020
Rodgers in 2-minute: Slant to MVS, screen to Jones across midfield. Misses MVS on a cross. Low on a checkdown to Adams. Kirksey almost picks the post to Adams. Fourth down.

That’ll do it for the vets
That’s a wrap on the second Lambeau practice for the vets. Young guys getting one more period. pic.twitter.com/zYUfvKUfrf

Love impressive to start extra period
Good first run for Love – 3 for 3, 61 yards. Two passes to Sternberger and a nice play action crosser to Taylor
— Wes Hodkiewicz (@WesHod) August 25, 2020
And then throws a pick
Underthrow from Love up the left sideline ends in a Vernon Scott interception. Nice leaping grab from Scott
