Green Bay held its second non-padded training camp session, highlighting strong defensive performances and several players stepping into new roles.
During Thursday’s second training-camp workout, the Packers ran a roughly 100-minute non-padded session that featured several standout moments. Safety Javon Bullard produced a forced fumble on a short pass to Skyy Moore, demonstrating the ball-stripping technique he has been honing through offseason boxing. Second-year receiver Matthew Golden caught a 24-yard pass and a 20-yard reception, prompting coach Matt LaFleur to note his promising start.
Cornerback Keisean Nixon rejoined practice after a hamstring scan, and center Sean Rhyan stepped in as emergency long snapper, delivering clean snaps for rookie kicker Trey Smack’s three field goals. Practice-squad defensive back Jonathan Baldwin intercepted Tyrod Taylor and returned it for a touchdown, boosting his bid for a roster spot. The team also reported a list of players sidelined with injuries, affecting depth on both sides of the ball.
