#Packers CB Donte Vaughn is out with a hamstring injury. ILB Ty Summers has returned after an illness kept him out of practice yesterday.
After returning to practice yesterday, #Packers OLB Randy Ramsey is out today with the ankle injury.
With #Packers having a lighter practice, Aaron Rodgers is getting the day off for veteran rest. Gives Jordan Love a chance to get ready for Fridayβs preseason opener.
Packers indeed are working out former RB Dexter Williams, as @AaronWilson_NFL said. A lot of experience with their former 6th-round pick
More on Rasul in the nickle/slot:
"Rasul Douglas was candid when discussing his switch to nickel, a position he'd never played. How the move was presented. The adjustments he's still making. Most significant, the fact his new preference is to play there every week. He's come long way with the idea in a short time."
There's an article at PackersNews with more on this update but I don't have a subscription
@R MaN posted:Gabe Brkicβs rough camp continues. Good from 45 and 47, but he pushes a 46 yarder wide right from the right hash. Mason Crosbyβs job is just fine as he remains on PUP with knee injury.
What should any of us expect? If he could not make the (wide right (or left)) (take your pick) Viking roster, how could we expect him to make ours?

36 will be going bye bye.
The number, not the player.

Back to give it another shot.

@ByRyanWood: #Packers released LS Steven Wirtel, best remembered for being in the middle of the blocked punt vs. SF in last yearβs playoffs. Their search for a consistent LS continues.

He knows the offense and we are short of backs for the first preseason game.
β LS Mitchell Fraboni (Arizona State)
β LS Antonio Ortiz (TCU)
Ortiz was waived by TBSS in July, Fraboni was with the Texans last year and played in the USFL this season.
Kiel is suddenly interested in the LS position...FRABONI!
That is one good looking Italian brother!
Is Fraboni a jabroni?
If I had to guess, I think this is a meeting with LaFleur and the vets who will be off on Friday night.

This was a great throw and catch with the βgame on the line.β I think Love may have gotten sacked in a game but donβt discount the play by 10 and 39. That was big time. https://t.co/Kt8D1wB1dF

Go figure what a competent coach might do for a young player..
Amari looks so much better returning punts in camp this year. Confident. Decisive. Getting up field and finding good return lanes. Competition between him and Doubs could come down to the end at PR.

Yeah, but he was pretty good playing Newman in Seinfeld.
Jaire Alexander has big expectations for #Packers defense that has been giving it to the offense each day: βThis is the defense Iβve been waiting on since I got here.β
Sammy Watkins beat Eric Stokes down the left side, but Aaron Rodgers missed him. Vernon Scott picks it and gets both get in bounds, an impressive play. Backup safeties having a good day.
Jordan Love mightβve learned a thing from Aaron Rodgers. He just rolled left to buy time with a free play, and got a deep shot to RB Tyler Goodson in the end zone. Something we wouldnβt have seen him do past couple seasons.
Heck of a cover from #Packers ILB DeβVondre Campbell against Josiah Deguara, running stride for stride with the tight end down the left sideline. Campbell knocked away Aaron Rodgersβ pass for the PBU some 25 yards downfield.
Aaron Rodgers strikes back with the next play, hitting Allen Lazard deep down the right side against Jaire Alexander. Lazard ran a stutter-and-go, and got wide open when Alexander slipped. Almost never see that from the Pro Bowl corner.
Aaron Rodgers airmails Romeo Doubs on an in route over the middle, and safety Shawn Davis picks it. Davis has now picked Rodgers and Jordan Love today. Good way to make a mark while competing for #Packers third safety spot.
Aaron Rodgersβ hard count draws a free play with an offside from the defense. Play ends in a deep-shot incompletion, but Rodgers slaps fives with Yosh Nijman and Jake Hanson for holding their ground. Good moment for a struggling offensive line.
A scrum between offense and defense. Didnβt see who started it, but Aaron Rodgers and Rashan Gary taking it out between the two sides after.
#Packers DL Devonte Wyatt is being evaluated for a concussion. Randall Cobb is not practicing because of a foot injury. TE Dominique Dafney is out with a knee injury.
Hey, R Man, ya doing a great play by play for us. Thanks.

He looked so much faster on Family Night. He was bizarro Amari.
Just imagine, coaching does matter.
That, and supposedly Amari lost close to 15 lbs. and is quicker at that new weight.
