Packers Open 2026 Training Camp With Injury Clarity and Starter Shuffles
Green Bay kicked off 2026 training camp with several injury updates and early starter reshuffles. GM Brian Gutekunst said starters will get a couple of preseason series. On Day 1, 11 players began the season on PUP/NFI; Aaron Banks and Nazir Stackhouse returned to practice, Hargrave (knee) and Orzech (calf) are not seen as long-term, Musgrave (neck) is being evaluated, and Kraft is expected back soon with a potential extension discussed. Hamstring issues linger for Brooks, Brant Banks, and Nixon, while Burton left early with a hamstring injury, prompting a shuffled offensive line. Jordan Love scored a TD on a read-option; defensively, Van Ness and Sorrell started on the edge as Hargrave/Wyatt recover, with Cisse and Valentine at outside corner and Nixon out. The day ended with Marlon Jones’s 99-yard pick-six, highlighting ongoing competition and a cautious approach ahead of the preseason.
