Could pass for Eye-talian...
Tonyan, Jenkins and Watson cleared for practice today! One on one drills, not team stuff yet...but it's the first step!
Some people rely on things like 23-and-me, but we have The Kiel Test. 
Matt LaFleur on Elgton Jenkins' best spot on offensive line when he returns in full: "Where he's going to play, I think time will tell. I don't want to commit to the left side, I don't want to commit to the right side. I don't want to commit to tight end."
Matt LaFleur says Gabe Brkic "tweaked a hammy" in pregame warmup in San Francisco, necessitating the #Packers signing Ramiz Ahmed. Between Brkic's hammy and Mason Crosby's knee, they're banged up at kicker.
Matt LaFleur on chances David Bakhtiari, Elgton Jenkins and Robert Tonyan might play this preseason: "I haven't ruled that out, but I wouldn't hold my breath on that either."
Matt LaFleur says he hasn't discussed practice conduct with his team for joint sessions with Saints yet, but makes clear he expects no extra curriculars: "The toughness needs to be displayed between whistle and whistle, not after the whistle.
Matt LaFleur says Amari Rodgers needed to not get stuck behind DB vs 2-high look on Jordan Love's 3rd pick. That said, he acknowledges Love didn't need to throw ball there: "We still shouldn't have thrown it there. The play should have gone off schedule, but it is what it is."
Between the drops and the wrong routes, the #Packers offense threatened to undermine Jordan Love’s introduction to his third preseason. The composure he showed had Matt LaFleur singing his praises, no matter the box score.
“It was a smooth operation.”
Matt LaFleur on Amari Rodgers’ 50-yard kickoff return: “I think the hardest hit came when he got to the sideline and Rashan Gary knocked him on his butt.”
#Packers coach Matt LaFleur says he was “pleased” with Jordan Love’s performance: “We’ve just got to clean up everything around him.”

MLF = Funny guy
He's probably hedging based on Bakh's health.
If Bakh is delayed, Jenkins goes to LT and one of Newman, Tom or Nijman gets RT
From camp:
" Kingsley Enagbare was in Aaron Rodgers’ face three times during that two-minute drill."
Just throwing this out there:
If Bakhtiari and Jenkins both come back strong, what O-line combo would you like to see?
I have a hankering for this:
LT Bakh LG Jenkins C Myers RG Runyan RT Nijman
Why not Jenkins at RT? He certainly would excel there. But for me it’s how great he is in the run game. IMO the Packers’ interior last season wasn’t strong in the run game and had some glaring weaknesses in pass blocking too (I’m looking at you Royce Newman). Getting Elgton on the interior could cure many ills plus I’d enjoy watching him bitch-slap Aaron Donald once again. I’m bullish on Nijman and think he could do well at RT. Don’t know enough to understand whether moving JRJ to RG is challenging but I’d take him there over Newman in a flash.
Any others’ thoughts?

100%. That would be our best players, so far.
They seem to be giving Newman every chance to be a starter, but yeah, I wouldn't mind seeing him beat out. Game day reserves maybe Zach Tom, Cole Van Lanen and Newman, depending on Rhyan's injury. .

He didn’t look too bad on Friday night.

Very interesting point.
#Packers have released OLB Randy Ramsey. Missed all of last year with an ankle injury and had missed time this year with the same thing. Two years ago played well on special teams.

A bit of a surprise.
We’ll never forget you Rudy!
The #Packers have released OL Cole Schneider and CB Donte Vaughn.

The Packers have claimed TE Nate Becker off of waivers from the Panthers.
— Field Yates (@FieldYates) August 15, 2022
The timing of these releases was initially surprising until I read that teams have until 4:00 Tuesday afternoon to make a mandatory cut to 85 players. Additionally, another mandatory cut of 5 players has a deadline for that following Tuesday (Aug. 23).
Apparently, these releases may allow the team to put any of these released players on IR if they are not claimed by any other teams. I couldn't find a specific link for an explanation, but it is interesting nonetheless.
Kamal Martin and Kingsley Keke released by Panthers and Cards, respectively.

You are the 2nd person to post this, why does it matter?
I posted those releases because I find the signings and cuts of former Packers of interest.
"Of interest" is a bit of a stretch, at least with Martin. Guy's just too slow.
The newest addition to the team!
“Welcome, Monarc Seeker.
Talk about state-of-the-art technology. It can be loaded with six footballs, and continuously reloaded. Want to catch passes? It can fire them randomly at 12 different catch points. Want to field punts? It can fire them at various distances and hangtimes, with tight spirals or with wobbles.
What a dream for a rookie receiver to get ready for life with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback. On an end-zone fade, Rodgers takes an average of 1.3 seconds from snap to throw. That data can be programmed into the Seeker. When the flashing blue light turns white, the receiver can run his route. And at 1.3 seconds, the ball comes out of machine and into the back corner of the end zone for a high-point catch opportunity.
If three receivers have an hour – 20 minutes each catching from the Seeker, continually reloading the machine and as the middle man – they can catch about 10,000 footballs a month.”
good for all the rookies to get on that program.
Been awhile since we’ve talked wonderlic scores eh?? Jordon Love had a 27 score. https://wonderlictestpractice....fl-wonderlic-scores/ Kinda fun reading them…..that Cooper Krupp?? Ah, a 37. 😳 😳 😳
Is spelling a component of Wonderlic? Cooper Krupp would like to know.

...
Should Love be worried about his job?
Well, the machine may be more accurate. Then again, receivers need to learn how to adjust to off target balls
