BTW, I just a live look/interview of WR Trevor Davis. He looks about 14-15.
Fu** I'm old.
BTW, those wondering who will be PUP'ed tomorrow, keep in mind players who report and practice tomorrow cannot be PUP at a later date. They either start off that way or they aren't eligible. As a refresher...
Players who are placed on the PUP list still count toward the 90-man roster limit. They can do everything but practice and participate in games with the team while they’re in training camp. They still have access to trainers and medical facilities and can take part in meetings. Players can be moved off PUP and onto the active roster at any time. Any player who practices on Tuesday will no longer be eligible for the PUP list.
It's just a hunch, but I think Nelson gets PUPd.
What if they are held out of practice? Can they still go on PUP if they haven't practiced?
Don't think so, Hungry. IIRC if you've been PUPed you can't practice while carrying the designation. The only benefit to being PUPed is not counting against regular season roster levels, which doesn't really apply during TC.
Jordy needs reps. He and Aaron would go bat**** if he can't practice.
@RobDemovsky
Jordy Nelson, Jared Cook, Sam Barrington, T.J. Lang, Corey Linsley and Ty Montgomery all will start training camp on the PUP list es.pn/2a9Wlfx
@RobDemovsky
The Packers also waived RB Don Jackson (non-football injury) and DE B.J. McBryde, which puts them at 88 on the... es.pn/2a9XvaV
@ByRyanWood
Will be interesting to see when #Packers TE Jared Cook practices. Heard it may not be until second week of preseason, per league source.

What the **** do I know.
@jasonjwilde: Important scoop by @RobDemovsky: Jordy Nelson (and Jared Cook, Sam Barrington, T.J. Lang, Corey Linsley, Ty Montgomery) start camp on PUP.
@jasonjwilde: To clarify, Nelson, Cook, Barrington, Lang, Linsley and Montgomery presumably will all come off PUP during camp. Just not deemed ready yet.

Hard to compare eras, but you'd be hard pressed to find a player who played his position better than Walter Jones. And we forget that he skipped OTA's and training camp three straight years b/c of the franchise tag, meaning he was part of an NFL team for just 17 weeks a year, and was doing his own thing for the other 35 weeks. For three straight years. Like DiMaggio's hit streak, Gretzky's points record, and Wilt's single game points record........I feel safe saying we'll never see a hall of fame performance three years in a row from a mercenary football player (for lack of a better word).
I wonder how many snaps Montgomery gets this year. He might be the "banged up 2 years" guy.

I couldn't "like" your post but ain't that the truth. 
How can you tell you're 50?
Friends and acquaintances around you are dying and/or getting diseases. So this is what I get to do for the next 20 years or so if things stay status quo on my end?
Guess it beats the alternative but I ain't afraid of that either.
Ed Werder reports (IMO McCarthy is his source):
@Edwerderespn: I've been told #Packers won't rush @JordyRNelson and could be two weeks before he's full participant in practices.
McCarthy is doing it just to have fun watching the fans get apoplectic. 
I hope Jason Spriggs turns into Bob Skoronski. A guy that was overlooked but so important Lombardi made him a team captain.
With 5 pre-season games, I have no problem bringing the PUP players, who all had surgeries, along a little slower. I love that Jordy is chomping to get going now but the reality is 2 more weeks (or whatever) won't matter. At all.

Nelson,Barrington,Cook,Lang,Montgomery and Linsley all got PUPed
looks like the presser is going to be before practice 7:45 LFT stream link
He looks good. So far so good Eddie.
@PackersNotes: @MikeGarafolo reported it's a hamstring for Linsley and he should come off PUP soon.
Linsey is least of our worries since Tretter is nearly as good. Disappointed in Cook being out. We were told back when he had his foot surgery that it was very minor & if done during the season he could have played the following week? Nelson is understandable. Monty is probably most concerning since his injury & possible return was a long drawn out affair last season, with the injury being more serious than first thought.
Keep in mind this training staff. It's arguably the MOST conservative in the NFL. All of these players we're coming off surgery. Like Nelson, I'm sure with Cook it's not his choice.
No need for the team to press its luck and MM is likely just being characteristically conservative with the injuries.
Rookie Kenny Clark looks good. Quick twitch in this drill.
Cool drill for D-linemen to test punch speed. They moving hands from ground to pad as fast as possible in short bursts. Big disparity.

Agree. It has to be something more serious than any of us know. In 5 years, someone will write a book about the 2016 Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers and will tell us all the juicy facts about his injury. Maybe he had an infection of some sort after the surgery ?
@Michael_Cohen13Jordy Nelson, Ty Montgomery and Sam Barrington are here watching practice. Haven't seen T.J. Lang, Corey Linsley or Jared Cook.
I wonder if that means they're just being cautious with the first three and the second three are getting treatment.
Cook is out here watching now.
#Packers
With Corey Linsley hurt, there are four players taking reps at center with the QBs: Tretter, Rotheram, Flores, Barclay.

No long-term concerns with six players on PUP list to start camp
Posted by on July 26, 2016 – 8:37 am
GREEN BAY — The Packers placed six players on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list as training camp opened on Tuesday morning, including WR Jordy Nelson and TE Jared Cook, but Head Coach Mike McCarthy is not overly concerned with any of their injury situations.
The other players not practicing at the start of camp are WR Ty Montgomery, G T.J. Lang, C Corey Linsley and LB Sam Barrington.
McCarthy said that based on his conversations with team physician Dr. Pat McKenzie, none of the injury issues involving the six players is a long-term concern. He did not give a timeline on any players.
“I’m not concerned,” McCarthy said prior to Tuesday morning’s practice. “I think all six of those guys will come back at some point in training camp.”
Cook is the newest Packers player among the six, and he missed the tail end of the offseason program due to his foot injury, but McCarthy doesn’t believe it will take him long to get back up to speed once he returns to the field.
“He looks good. Everything’s positive,” McCarthy said, regarding an offseason procedure on Cook’s foot. “He’s a pro.”
As for RB Eddie Lacy, “Eddie’s ready,” McCarthy said. “Frankly, I’m done talking about people’s weight … we all have things to work on, and Eddie’s ready to go.”
The Packers are beginning camp a few days earlier than usual because they are playing in the Hall of Fame Game on Aug. 7, a fifth preseason game. McCarthy said that he’ll handle the veteran players appropriately with the longer camp and preseason, but the extended time is good for the young players.
“It helps the evaluation process. I like the extra practice time,” he said. “We’re a young football team, so we can’t have enough time. It’s something we’ll benefit from
Read that Datone Jones reported 15 pounds lighter....
MM's "I'm not concerned" does not evoke confidence based on past history
@ByRyanWood: #Packers QB Brett Hundley zips a pass through tight coverage to TE Justin Perillo in middle of the field. A "Wow" throw.
@mikespofford: Hundley making some tough throws. Davis hauls one in on sideline, then Perillo over middle. Impressive accuracy #PackersCamp
@ByRyanWood: #Packers rookie WR Trevor Davis with a spectacular, leaping, one-handed grab of an Aaron Rodgers pass. Gets a nice applause from fans.
@RobDemovsky: Rookie receiver Trevor Davis is off to a fast start. Made an athletic move on a sideline catch and caught a contested deep ball. The fifth-round pick's speed has shown on the field.
@TomSilverstein: Rookie WR Trevor Davis with his third big catch of the day, bomb from Callahan over Josh Hawkins.
Wow. I know it's early, but it sounds like Davis is making a great first impression.
Another weapon for #12? Yes, please.
