LaFleur Brothers Tease a Me-And-My-Brother Showdown at Packers-Cardinals Joint Practices

Matt LaFleur jokingly proposed that if tensions flare during Packers-Cardinals joint practices, he and his brother Mike could tag in for a “throw down on the 50,” highlighting a lighthearted approach as the two teams prepare for their preseason clash; Matt is entering his eighth season with Green Bay, while Mike is in his first year with Arizona, and both say the dynamic has been healthy as they aim to get good work in ahead of Friday night’s game.

Packers' defense runs the show as practice ends with skirmishes and big plays

During Packers training camp, the No. 1 defense dominated the No. 1 offense, powering a rough day for the offense with fumbles and miscues as the session extended past two hours. A sideline scuffle erupted between players (including a shove between Matthew Golden and Barryn Sorrell, with Zaire Franklin throwing a punch), and Kitan Oladapo and Keisean Nixon supplied key turnovers. The practice ended with the defense stopping a fourth-down try, and several rookies and veterans stood out ahead of the upcoming joint practice with the Cardinals.

Nixon: ‘Punished’ but Ready to attack Packers’ starting-corner challenge

Green Bay Packers cornerback Keisean Nixon says he doesn’t know why his starting job is in jeopardy and believes he’s being “punished,” but he intends to keep competing and “attack” the challenge. Coach Matt LaFleur says the team is evaluating the competition on fundamentals like assignment accuracy and tackling. Nixon, a four-year veteran who’s been a frequent starter and All-Pro returner, is in the final year of his extension and faces questions after recent tackling concerns and a high-profile goal-line miscue, as Green Bay prepares for the Sept. 13 opener against Minnesota.

Nixon targets starting role after Pro Bowl season with Packers

Packers cornerback Keisean Nixon, who earned Pro Bowl recognition last season as a corner and returner, is in a heated competition for a starting job in 2026. He emphasizes competing for himself and staying ready, while coach Matt LaFleur notes that the decision will hinge on assignment consistency, ball pursuit, and tackling. The Packers’ unofficial depth chart lists Nixon as the starter with Benjamin St-Juste backing him up, and Nixon started the preseason opener. Nixon is undrafted (2019) and enters the final year of his contract, with about $2.66 million in salary and per-game bonuses.

Allar Shines in Steelers’ Preseason Debut with Multi-TD Night

Drew Allar made a splash in his NFL preseason debut for the Steelers, going 10-for-13 for 153 yards with two passing touchdowns and a rushing score after entering in the third quarter. His 75-yard first pass set the tone, and he connected with Kaden Wetjen and Riley Nowakowski on TD passes as Pittsburgh topped Green Bay 28-9. After not playing since last October’s ankle injury, Allar's impressive showing could fuel a future path to Pittsburgh’s starting role in next year’s QB competition.
