Jordan Love was back, the pads were on and the intensity was cranked up at Green Bay Packers training camp on Saturday.
GREEN BAY, Wis. – Saturday was the biggest day of Week 1 of Green Bay Packers training camp, with quarterback Jordan Love making his debut after signing a $220 million contract extension and the debut of pads leading to some chippy moments on Ray Nitschke Field.After taking a bike to practice and trotting onto the field to the cheers of the fans filling the bleachers and lining the streets, Jordan Love looked a lot like a quarterback who had missed the first four practices.
The big play of the 2-minute drill was the first play, with Jordan Love’s bomb to Christian Watson resulting in a 47-yard gain. He added: “Jordan’s our quarterback. … His aura speaks volumes. I don’t want to overstate some things, but it was good to have him back out there.”Early, running back Josh Jacobs had a nice gain on a run up the middle. For some reason, nickel corner Keisean Nixon was furious and was in the middle of the first fracas of camp.
As both sides returned to the huddle, Rashan Gary – who wasn’t involved in the action – was screaming at coach Matt LaFleur.“It’s football, man,” rookie safety Javon Bullard said with a smile. “All these guys in this locker room are competitors. They’re going to compete at a high level, so it might get a little chippy here and there, but it’s all love at the end of the day.”
- The pass rush remained strong. On one, defensive tackle Karl Brooks stormed past rookie lineman Jacob Monk to send quarterback Jacob Eason scurrying from the pocket. He did it again against the No. 1 offensive line, with Love escaping and completing a short pass to Josh Jacobs. On another, Gary blew past Andre Dillard to force a checkdown to Jacobs; Wilson cleaned it up for a tackle for loss.
- Jordan Love’s first 2-minute drill was a dud. Keisean Nixon broke up back-to-back passes to Dontayvion Wicks and Jayden Reed. On third down, Love’s pass into the flat resulted in a minimal gain to Luke Musgrave, who was clobbered by Javon Bullard.
