Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur is excited to announce that his team will have joint practices with the Denver Broncos and Baltimore Ravens during training camp this summer. The Packers will travel to Denver to practice with the Broncos before their Aug. 18 preseason game, and they will host the Ravens in Green Bay for practice before their Aug. 24 preseason finale at Lambeau Field.
LaFleur explained that the Packers will practice one day with the Broncos and one day with the Ravens in an effort to minimize any fighting that often occurs on the second day of joint practices. He expressed his excitement about the opportunity to face new systems and challenges, allowing the starters to get more playing time in a controlled environment and receive valuable work.
The Packers have participated in joint practices with another team every season except for 2020 when COVID-19 disrupted plans to practice with the Cleveland Browns. Last year, they practiced with both the New England Patriots and Cincinnati Bengals before preseason games, emphasizing team bonding and preparation for the season ahead.
LaFleur believes that these joint practices provide a unique opportunity for his team to come together and grow stronger as a unit. He is looking forward to seeing how his players adapt to new systems and challenges, allowing them to continue growing as individuals while also contributing to the success of the team.
Overall, LaFleur sees these joint practices as an essential part of the Packers’ training camp schedule, providing valuable opportunities for growth and development that will benefit them throughout
