Seriously, do they need training camp? They always do the same things:
1. keep Bush
2. keep a backup QB in whom nobody has any confidence
3. keep about 13 TEs
4. keep Crosby
5. start training their offensive line around game 5
6. keep Hawk
Just struck me. A Hallmark store located at 1266 Lombardi Ave that sold nothing but "Get Well Soon" cards?!?!?!? Sweet Caroline tell me that's not a goldmine!
And yeah I'd include a small "Sorry for your loss" section.
Some roster moves related to the signing of VY:
The Packers signed Young and rookie wide receiver Justin Wilson on Tuesday.
The team placed wide receiver Sederrik Cunningham (wrist) on injured reserve.
Wilson participated in the Packers’ rookie orientation camp on a tryout basis in May 2013.
Sigh. The IR begins to build. What's the over/under by the end of TC?
Eagles FA acquisition Arrelious Benn tore his ACL today (that's 2 WR's for Philly along with Jeremy Macklin lost for the year in TC) and Danario Alexander (Starting WR for SD) also tore his ACL today and is gone for the season. It's football.
TT broke character today when asked about injuries and gave a lengthy response regarding his thoughts on the subject.
“Injuries are not explainable. They just happen.”
And Kiel, This is not a casualty,
This is off topic a bit. There is a cow42 posting over at Cheezehead TV.

With all he devastating injuries Boris has sustained this preseason here at timeX4 I wonder if he can swing a trade for him. maybe myself, Kworst and future consideration will get the deal done.

I saw something on the NFL Network's ticker at the bottom of the screen that Atlanta had a tackle go down, too.
Good catch. Their starting RT had a leg injury. He had to be taken away from the facility by ambulance. Hope the kid is ok.
.....aaaaaaand Eddie Lacy is not practicing today. He is, however, able to play catch with DuJuan Harris on the sidelines so at least there's that.
The good news, Cobb is back. Datone Jones is back. Mike Neal is off the PUP and is practicing. The bad news, Lacy is out. He's on the sidelines without pads.
Rob Demovsky @RobDemovsky 22m Packers DNPs: Dorsey Johnson Harris Lacy Richardson Hayward Williams Tretter Bulaga Sherrod Quarless Taylor Nelson Worthy
om Silverstein @TomSilverstein 6m Interesting: Mike Neal is working with the OLBs, not the D-line.
2 weeks into camp and rookie WRs Charles Johnson Kevin Dorsey continue to be spectators. Clock is ticking.
Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 2m Scrum during drill here. Sam Barrington in the middle of it, think Lang was involved as well. Expand Rob Demovsky @RobDemovsky 2m Maybe the best mini fight of camp. Barrington and Lang going at it in the run drill. Punches thrown, helmet off
Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 1m Garth Gerhart and Terrell Manning get into it.
Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 2m Scrums/punches all over the place. Wow. Van Roten and Francois at it. Finley throws punch at Jarvis Reed. Sitton/Greene even talking. Expand Rob Demovsky @RobDemovsky 2m And now fights are breaking out like crazy. Finley threw a haymaker at someone. Expand Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 2m Now Van Roten and Francois swing at each other.
Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 1m Haven't seen anything like that in a while here. Melee. Looked like Greene wanted to put on the pads, too. Expand
Not looking good for Coleman, who appears to have dropped to No 4 on QB depth chart and got picked by Nick Perry.
Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 7m Packers into game prep now, looking at the cards. ...Coleman throws a pick to Nick Perry.
Neal has to leave practice. Has his foot re-taped. Hasn't been back since.
EDIT.... He's back! Tough to keep tabs on him.
And another pick from Coleman who throws to Stoneburner in double coverage, tipped by Nixon and INT by Jennings
He's a turnover machine.
Easy on Coleman....justa kid out there having fun
Justin Felder @Justin_Felder 5m Here's the Finley fight (6 seconds of it), shot off my camera's viewfinder. #Packers https://vine.co/v/hbVUZIJ2PPe
Tyler Dunne @TyDunne <small class="time"></small>Vince Young's second pass in 7 on 7 is an ugly, telegraphed interception to Brandon Smith.
Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein <small class="time"></small>CB Brandon Smith picks off Rodgers in 7on 7s.
Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 2m Bakhtiari is 2-0 to start the day in 1on 1s.

I'm being cautiously optimistic about this kid, but wow it's hard not to get excited.
I like what I hear and see about Bak, but so far a lot of it is against guys he knows or camp guys. I want to see what he does in Friday's game, but also against Seattle before I get too excited. If he can't do it, it's going to be messy for the first couple of weeks of the season if they put Newhouse back at LT, etc., and everyone gets used to new/old positions again.
Why would you throw a punch at someone wearing a helmet...especially if your job depends on you catching things with your hands. I appreciate Finley's fiery attitude (it's more emotion than he's shown in a long time), but maybe find a less harmful way of letting it out.
Young and Finley in the same room....I am guessing you would have a hard time cracking a combined score of 10 in the wonderlic
Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 57s From 51, Crosby misses. Tavecchio converts. Expand Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 1m From 46, Crosby good. Tavecchio wide left.
I wonder if Mike just pulls names out of a hat, says "no pads for you tomorrow."
Great tackle of Finley by Jolly during the fight.
McCarthy: Eddie Lacy has a hamstring pull. It's something he's been dealing with.
Just great...
