The Packers are planning to incorporate some variety into their training camp practices by scheduling joint workouts with other teams this summer. Head coach Matt LaFleur announced on Tuesday that they will be practicing with the Broncos before their August 18 game in Denver and with the Ravens before their August 24 game in Green Bay. LaFleur sees the value in his team competing against other clubs during the preseason, but wants to limit the joint practices to just one day to prevent any potential conflicts.
LaFleur expressed concern about the potential for fights that can arise when teams practice together for multiple days. He described the intense interactions that can occur on the field, likening them to a wrestling match or MMA fight. In order to maintain a positive and productive environment during the joint practices, the Packers are opting for a single day of workouts with each team to ensure that they get quality work done without any unnecessary altercations.
The Packers will kick off their preseason schedule with a road game against the Browns on August 10, followed by their joint practices with the Broncos and Ravens. These joint workouts will provide valuable opportunities for the team to test themselves against different opponents and work on their skills in preparation for the upcoming season.
