LaFleur said the plan is for Sean Clifford to start against the Broncos.
Offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich called plays against the Browns and will call plays again on Sunday in Denver.
On rookie cornerback Kalen King: “He’s just really instinctive. He’s a really good football player. The more opportunities he gets, the more he seems to show up and make plays.”
Tight end Tucker Kraft is good to go for 11-on-11 work.
Injury updates
Cornerback Carrington Valentine (hamstring) will back on Wednesday. He’ll work in individual periods.
LaFleur wasn’t sure if rookie linebacker Edgerrin Cooper (hip) was ready to return.
Rookie offensive lineman Jacob Monk is expected to practice Wednesday. The same goes for linebacker Quay Walker.
Live news and updates from practice
The Packers released safety Tyler Coyle and long snapper Peter Bowden to make room on the roster for linebacker Chris Russell (No. 47) and running back Nate McCrary on Wednesday.
As expected, Carrington Valentine is back.

One-on-ones between offensive and defensive lines:
Good day for offensive line in 1 on 1s. Dillard had good reps vs Gary at RT and won vs Mosby at LT.
Newman has been steady in drill all camp. Morton pulled off a wicked spin move to beat Telfort at RT

Sean Clifford is still operating the No. 2 offense, per Rob Demovsky.
Devonte Wyatt and Lukas Van Ness are living in the backfield recently:
Good team period for defense. Sniffed out some screens, Wyatt and LVN were drive in backfield. Clifford took the two reps

Anders Carlson and Greg Joseph start 2/3 on kicks:
Both Joseph and Carlson went 2 for 3.
Joseph good from 33 and 41L. Missed off left upright from 45.

Jordan Love to Dontayvion Wicks for a red-zone touchdown:
Jordan Love to Dontayvion Wicks for 5-yard touchdown on third-and-goal. Wicks beat Corey Ballentine on an out route. Easy pitch and catch.

Obligatory daily highlight play from rookie Evan Williams:
Every time you look up, Evan Williams is around the football. Just forced a third-down drop against Samori Toure over the middle.

A couple more interceptions for the Packers defense:
Quay Walker picks Jordan Love on deflection off Isaiah McDuffie, but didn’t count. Offside. Free play.
Next snap, Love tries to hit Luke Musgrave on deep corner. Jaire Alexander undercuts throw for an interception. This one counts.
Nineteen for #Packers in camp. Eight on Love.

Rough day for the Packers’ kicking competition:
Anders Carlson wins today’s kicking battle, but roughest day of competition yet.
Carlson 4-6. Good from 47M, 45R, XP, 49L. Wide right from 41L, short and right from 55R.
Greg Joseph 3-6. Good from XP, 41L, 45M. Hit left upright from 45R, wide left from 55R, wide right from 49L.

Rough end to the practice in the two-minute situations:
Practice No. 15 goes 2 hours and 8 minutes and ends with two botched 2-minutes
Love ran out of time at the 11-yard line. Clifford got sacked / then Joseph missed a FG in a scramble situation. To be fair, the goal posts were being wheeled into place but it appears to miss anyway. https://t.co/Im94mVYizv pic.twitter.com/9iibtv7P0N
