    Za'Darius and Preston Smith have targets in mind

    "He said, 'I can see it this year coming, to where we're going to have a ton of sack fumbles and forced fumbles.' So I can't wait, man, because Coach is speaking it into existence." What also remains to be seen is the workload the Smiths carry in 2020. Each played nearly 1,000 snaps last...

    No easy tasks in current environment for Packers

    Staying in tune with the players' physical conditioning will be paramount, because in a normal training camp, there are extended breaks built in for veteran players. Usually they hold just a light practice or walk-through the day before a preseason game, play only a few if any snaps in the game...

    Corey Linsley projects Packers' ground game will continue making strides

    Up front to pave the way, the Packers have everybody back except right tackle Bryan Bulaga, who signed as a free agent with the L.A. Chargers. LaFleur hasn't committed to a starting unit in 2020, saying there will be competition as the coaching staff finds the best five to work as a group...

    Shawn from Kissimmee, FL Who would be the presumptive starter at TE at this point? Marcedes Lewis but it'll be fluid. I expect Jace Sternberger to play quite a bit as well early on. Corey from Henderson, NV Everybody is talking about how a team has to shift gears if they lose a player or...

    At 10 a.m. on July 27, 1952, roughly 50 players, as well as coaches, boarded two buses at the Greyhound Bus Depot in downtown Green Bay and departed for Grand Rapids, Minn.

    Inbox: Everyone's after that ideal combination

    Steve from Kansas City, MO Do you think Rodgers would be better served by simply saying he will not answer any questions speculating about his future with GB? Favre made the mistake of saying honestly how he felt during his last few years with GB, and it created all the "will he or won't he...

    Kenny Clark eager to show he's one of NFL's top defensive tackles

    The position likely does have a lot to do with it. Only seven defensive tackles were included on this year's "Top 100." Although Donald came at No. 3 overall, you'd have to go all the way to No. 52 to find the next defensive tackle (Kansas City's Chris Jones). At the same time, the 2019 season...
