Nick from Portland, OR I take it the punt/kick returner job is wide open... Looks that way to me. Even though I believe Davis starts the competition first in line, I’m not sure I agree with Wes that it’s his job to lose. At least not in the same way I believe the No. 2 receiver spot is...

Titletown is ready for another fun summer and is inviting community members to see what’s in store with the Summer Fun Days Showcase, presented by Lodge Kohler, on Saturday, June 1, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. The free event will kick off the summer season and the wide variety of programs and...

Just rent the room for two days and be done with it. That’s all Nicole Clark heard in the days leading up to the 2016 NFL Draft. From every corner of San Bernardino, they made the same plea – plan a two-day draft party in the event her son, Kenneth Duane Clark Jr., should slip into the second...

Monty from Hazen, ND When do you expect the location of the Raider preseason game to be announced? I’m thinking it might be a fun little trip to Winnipeg! I’m hopeful we’ll get that final answer in the next few weeks. I just caution not to get your hopes too high quite yet. It is possible...

Youth football organizations that register five or more coaches with 100 percent attendance on the day of the event will be entered into a drawing to receive one of four $500 grants from the Packers. The deadline to register is May 26, or when a maximum capacity of 250 coaches has been...

Jonathan from Madison, WI What salary do practice-squad players earn? They aren’t necessarily all paid the same, but if you go by the minimums, a practice-squad player’s weekly check is about 25 percent of the rookie active-roster minimum. That’s one of many reasons it’s such a big deal when...

GREEN BAY – Last year, tight end Jace Sternberger made a wildly successful transition from junior college to the Southeastern Conference, the premier college football league in the land. But he’s not about to assume he’ll make his next move, to the NFL, look so easy. “You’re playing with...

Late in the 2017 season, Mark Murphy and I had a conversation about my health and future with the Packers. At that time, we mutually agreed that it was in the best interests of myself and the organization to step away from my role as general manager. In consultation with team physician Dr. John...

Because that’s the way he wanted it, but don’t take it personally. I interviewed Ted one-on-one in his office a couple of times for Yearbook feature stories, and what I’ll always respect about him more than anything is he never made it about himself. It was always about the Packers, and plenty...

Fittingly, Gary’s locker is sandwiched between the two veterans and located just a few spots down from Kyler Fackrell, who led Green Bay with 10½ sacks in 2018. “That’s a lot of knowledge that came with it to soak in,” Gary said. “It’s a blessing to be here, and just having two veterans like...

The Green Bay Packers have released RB Lavon Coleman. General Manager Brian Gutekunst announced the transaction Monday. Coleman was signed to the Packers’ practice squad on Oct. 31, 2018, and promoted to the active roster on Dec. 22, 2018, appearing in one game last season. He was originally...

At a time when the NFC Central Division was affectionately called the “Black & Blue Division” because of its low-scoring slugfests and grind-it-out offenses, the Green Bay Packers’ running backs might have inflicted more bruises than any other pair. MacArthur Lane, one-half of that backfield...

On the first Saturday of every month, Mark will write about a topic of interest to Packers fans and the organization, and then answer five fan questions. Fans are encouraged to email Mark with their name and hometown at: MurphyTakes5@packers.com. This evening, Ted Thompson will be inducted...

Perry from Ishpeming, MI I just read that Savage signed his contract, so what is the policy on passing a physical? Same deal with UDFA invites to the camp, do they have to pass a physical before participating? What about players under contract? Just curious. And thanks for the great reading...

With all the training for the scouting combine and pro days finally over, the Packers’ eight-player draft class, 11 undrafted free agents and 20 tryout hopefuls took the field at the Don Hutson Center for their first official NFL practice. Head Coach Matt LaFleur did not have any 11-on-11...

That success formed the core of a draft-and-develop philosophy that helped the Packers, under McCarthy’s on-field leadership, win six NFC North titles, earn nine playoff berths – eight in a row from 2009-16 – and advance to four conference championship games, including in the title-winning 2010...

Kevin from Lakeville, MN It sounds like a whirlwind with the draft, then a few days later you're in GB practicing for the life of your career. I can't imagine much time to scout out a home or apartment. Where do UFAs and tryout players live when they arrive in GB? Does the team have...

Bolton, 23, played in 34 games over four years for the Sooners with 14 starts, all coming during his final season. As a senior, he was selected honorable mention All-Big 12 by the league’s coaches after ranking second on the team, third in the conference and No. 22 nationally with 9.9 tackles...
