Rookie third-round pick Montravius Adams is not practicing today. He's here but not in pads. #Packers

Dupre getting work as a gunner in punt coverage. That's his ticket to the roster.

On four punts with no wind, Justin Vogel averages 50.7 per. Three of the punts had hang time of 4.6 or better. Other was 3.7. Pretty good.

#Packers rookie Kofi Amichia showed his athleticism in 1-on-1 blocking drills. He was 3-1, beating Kenny Clark, Dean Lowry and Brian Price.

Dean Lowry keeps finding his way into the backfield in one on ones and halfline. Active with his hands #Packers

#Packers rookie CB Kevin King getting first crack at starter reps again today, opposite Davon House. Quinten Rollins once again in slot.

Mike Daniels has found a vocal nemesis. Bakhtiari giving him the business repeatedly on the sideline. A worthy opponent.

S Josh Jones very active in run game. Shot through line for tackle in backfield with ball at the 4 on last play of team drill.

Last year the #Packers had two kick returners on the field simultaneously. This year they have practiced with only one deep guy. #Packers

Joe Kerridge often is the overlooked man in the RB group but the second year fullback packs a punch. Power showed in combo #Packers
— Wes Hodkiewicz (@WesHod) July 29, 2017
K Mason Crosby makes 6 of 7 FGs with P Justin Vogel holding. Some weren't pretty. Could be unfamiliarity with Vogel.
— Tom Silverstein (@TomSilverstein) July 29, 2017
#Packers rookie Josh Jones getting 2nd-team reps at safety. Haven't seen that much. He's mostly been sub LB since arriving.
— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) July 29, 2017
Trevor Davis up & walking after staying down for several minutes. Hit ground hard after attempting leaping catch
— Pete Dougherty (@PeteDougherty) July 29, 2017
One of best plays today, Rollins INT of Rodgers on throw to Cobb in seam to end zone. Rollins good reaction to ball last second
— Pete Dougherty (@PeteDougherty) July 29, 2017
Jones just lit Dupre up. Mercy.
— Aaron Nagler (@AaronNagler) July 29, 2017
First padded practice ends 10:54 am. That's a 2-hour, 39-minute practice.

David Bakhtiari on title belt: "If Mike Daniels can win it – if – then he can walk it back and have it in his locker, but so far he’s 0-1."

Good to hear that King and House started as boundary CBs today. I believe that is our best starting combination at CB. Rollins in the slot, sounds like he had a good day. Tough call between him and Randall. Each have their own strengths and weaknesses. Sounds like Jones has been impressive in both ILB and safety roles so far. Remember guys no injuries. Thanks, Since '61

I think we have a keeper at punter. About time!

It's funny how the only ILB plays we hear about come from Josh Jones.

Funny "ha ha" (not 21) or funny strange?

I think funny might mean "sigh."

Understood.

Davis muffed a return today. Ball security, not return ability, is the #1 criterion I have for a PR.
I never believed that Davis muffed a punt in week whatever last year and was in MM's doghouse forever. Had to be that he muffed some in practice as well.

i am feeling a little miss led by the news reports (yesterday) on how great he is doing. then first days in pads he is back to old inconsistent self. maybe we should have waited until he was actually playing football before building him up.

Somehow I have the impression that Davis just doesn't have it if he muffs punts and can't get up from the ground after a leaping catch. Next man please.
