Packers

Packers GM Brian Gutekunst said time isn’t running out on fifth-round DE Collin Oliver and seventh-round OL John Williams to return, as neither has practiced with the full team this offseason.

“Missing this amount of time is tough on rookies but, hopefully, particularly with Oliver, hopefully we can get him out there before camp ends and see how he might be able to help us,” Gutekunst said, via SI. “Williams is probably going to be a little longer than that.”

Gutekunst said the team drafted Oliver because of his ability to get after the passer on the edge, even though he’s versatile enough to play inside linebacker.

“Another versatile player, can play inside backer and edge,” Gutekunst said. “We drafted him as an edge guy because of his ability to come off the corner and rush the passer with speed. We haven’t had a ton of those guys like that. But I think the versatility, as well, the ability to rush the passer with his hand down, stand up and do some of those things as an inside/outbacker and then also special teams, I just think his skill-set was really intriguing to us.”

• Packers RB coach Ben Sirmans was asked if he’s seen anyone with injury luck as bad as RB MarShawn Lloyd: “I have not, and I don’t think any of us – or very few of us – have. The way he works, you gotta believe he’ll get past all this.” (Demovsky)

Bears

Bears HC Ben Johnson is looking to solidify the team’s left tackle position, with three players currently vying for the spot, including Braxton Jones, Ozzy Trapilo and Kiran Amegadjie.

“We’ll go as long as we need to go to find the right guy,” Johnson said, via Courtney Cronin of ESPN. “But we’d like to see someone go ahead and make it clear to us that he is that guy, and we just haven’t seen that yet as a staff. There’s been too much up and down. We’d love to go ahead and solidify that spot and move forward from there. And it might be one of those things where, when we make that decision, it’s not final for the season. It could be that we have to reassess after a couple of weeks of the season, or by the bye week, we might have to reassess. It might be something that goes on. Wouldn’t be ideal, but that’s the thing with the league.”

Bears OL coach Dan Roushar spoke about how the holes in Jones’ game have prevented him from securing the left tackle job.

“On the day off, [Jones*] and I had a little communication,”* Roushar told reporters. *“I thought on Friday against Miami in the...
