Green Bay Packers Begin Padded Training Camp With Injury Update

The Green Bay Packers began their fifth training camp practice of 2025 with the first session involving full pads, marking an increase in physicality and intensity. Free-agent cornerback Nate Hobbs was a notable story after a low hit on running back MarShawn Lloyd caused Lloyd to limp off the field and miss the rest of practice, with Hobbs briefly benched before returning. Center Elgton Jenkins was taken off the non-football injury list and participated in walkthroughs, reducing the Packers' injury list to three players, including receiver Christian Watson recovering from an ACL tear. Several other Packers players, including receivers Dontayvion Wicks and Malik Heath and defensive end Brenton Cox Jr., left practice early with unknown injuries. Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh Steelers are four practices into their 2025 training camp with ongoing discussions about roster health, including the release of running back Cordarrelle Patterson and injuries to starting tackles Broderick Jones and Troy Fautanu. The Steelers also announced their 2025 Hall of Honor Class and continue to evaluate their safety group following the addition of veteran Chuck Clark.
