The Green Bay Packers took an early trip to Indianapolis this week, their opponent for their second game of the preseason. Together, the Packers and Colts are hosting a joint practice, where the two teams will face off with their starters in a more controlled environment than a live game. According to Green Bay head coach Matt LaFleur, the plan is for the starters to get looks in this practice but sit out Saturday’s preseason game, before the starters are sent back out for full-contact action against the Seattle Seahawks in the preseason finale.
Sometimes, news from these joint practices is one-sided. So to paint a better picture of what’s going down in Indianapolis today, I’ll be throwing in social media posts from both the Packers and Colts beat reporters to give you a more complete view of Thursday’s action.
Follow along, and I hope you enjoy it. We’ll probably be doing the same when the Seahawks come to Green Bay for joint practice next week, too.
On the front end, we should note that quarterback Jordan Love (thumb) will not be on the practice field versus the Colts. Love had surgery on his non-throwing hand this week and is expected to return to the field next week, though it’s unclear whether he’ll be a full-go for the joint practice against Seattle. The last time the Packers took the field, their receivers were also injured, with five of their top six players at the position facing some sort of issue.
