Everything That Happened at Practice 7 of Packers Training Camp

The temperature cooled at Green Bay Packers training camp on Thursday, and so did the level of chippiness after a feisty first couple days in pads.

After an off-day, Thursday was about football. There was no pushing. No shoving. No cheap shots. No laps.

“I never want to let a few moments overshadow the work our guys are putting in, because they really are doing a great job of doing all the little things the right way,” coach Matt LaFleur said before practice. “But it’s camp, right? Sometimes, those things happen.

“I just think it’s always important to remember that if you do anything in the game, you’re going to get penalized for it and it’s going to hurt the team. So, I think it’s important that you keep your composure in practice, as well, and do all the little things the right way, so that if something transpired in a game, that you don’t react the wrong way.”

Here is everything you need to know about the seventh practice of Packers training camp.

Jordan Love’s Day

Jordan Love had another strong day, going 12-of-18 with one touchdown.

The highlight was a third-down period, in which Love went 4-of-6 with four conversions. These weren’t layups. On third-and-13, he fired a rocket over the middle to Malik Heath for a gain of about 15. After a third-and-9 incompletion in which Love and the receivers didn’t appear to be on the same page, he completed a third-and-7 and a third-and-3 to tight end Luke Musgrave – more on those in a moment – and a third-and-2 to Heath.

On the other hand, his 2-minute drill didn’t get close to the necessary touchdown. Love completed two passes for first downs, including a bullet over the middle to Mecole Hardman on third-and-10 for a gain of 22 to the defense’s 31. 

However, Love’s checkdown to Chris Brooks was stopped inbounds by Edgerrin Cooper for minus-1 and his pass to the sideline to Heath was incomplete. On third down, Love extended the play and fired a desperation pass to the end zone. Love was past the line of scrimmage and the pass was incomplete.
