Green Bay opens the season with a two-week gauntlet, facing Detroit and Washington as Jordan Love works to prove he can carry an offense that still has questions up front and at receiver. Love’s health becomes the focal point: a small thumb procedure keeps him on schedule for Week 1, but the Packers might lean into more shotgun or pistol looks if under-center snaps are limited, testing the offense’s rhythm right out of the gate.

With Love under center, the offensive line and skill-position group will be judged not just on raw talent but on how quickly Love can lift his teammates. Elgton Jenkins anchors a key unit as one of the roster’s veteran-ready pieces, while competition at left tackle and wide receiver could reshape the play-caller’s approach. If Love rides out the early bumps, Green Bay could still ride a productive run game and quick-hitting passes to stay competitive, but scheme shifts and health will largely dictate the ceiling this season.

Day 14 of Green Bay's training camp at Ray Nitschke Field unfolds with an open morning session, a pre-practice press conference from Matt LaFleur, and injury updates expected around Jordan Love’s left-hand/thumb wrap. The plan for the week includes a joint practice on Thursday and a preseason tilt with the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday, keeping the Packers' quarterback depth and offensive rhythm under close watch as the camp nears its late-stage scrimmages.

Love’s health is central to fantasy considerations: a wrap on the left hand could limit throwing tempo, alter ball security, and impact live reps for Love and his backups. The Thursday joint practice and Saturday showdown with the Colts will test the offense’s timing and the playbook’s edge, potentially shifting target shares and workload distribution as coaches evaluate depth pieces behind Love.

Fantasy and betting observers should monitor how the Packers pace the offense in camp’s closing weeks, how backups separate in practice reps, and how the Colts’ defensive schemes challenge Green Bay’s timing and play-action. Those signals will help shape Week 1 ownership and exposure to Packers pass-catchers and running backs as the roster solidifies.

Green Bay faced a sloppy, humbling preseason opener, losing 30-10 to the Jets while being outgained 403-188 and failing to reach the end zone until garbage time. The message from coach Matt LaFleur was clear: learn fast, correct the mistakes, and carry the corrections into practice and upcoming joint sessions. The plan this week centers on competition on the field and urgency on the practice field as Green Bay prepares for joint work with the Colts, then a game against Seattle to close the exhibition slate.

LaFleur emphasized translating daily practice work to gameday execution, trusting training and technique, and being intentional in performance. The Packers will open with an open practice, host the Colts for a Thursday joint session, and shed light on roster decisions through a Saturday matchup with Indy, followed by the Seattle showdown. The overarching theme: fix the errors now, avoid a slow start, and build real momentum before the regular season arrives.

The schedule ahead is as telling as the game itself: a Colts joint practice, a likely reduced role for starters in the Indy game, and a final joint practice and exhibition against Seattle. If Green Bay can convert practice corrections into crisp game action, fantasy managers will eye improvements across GB’s pass catchers and ball-carriers as the offense gains cohesion and the defense stabilizes after a rocky opener.

Green Bay and New York Jets will lace up at Lambeau Field tonight as the preseason opener goes on, but weather is the star. Brown County sits under a flood watch with 1 to 3 inches of rain forecast and a slight risk of severe thunderstorms, including damaging winds up to 22 mph. Kickoff remains at 7 p.m., and fans should expect wet conditions and gusty winds. The Packers’ coaching staff has been watching weather apps all day, and while the game is not canceled, delays or suspensions could still occur if the weather worsens.

Matt LaFleur indicated starters were expected to see action, though wet weather could alter plans. The forecast heat index near 94 and high humidity add another layer of concern for ball handling and stamina. Green Bay has two more tuneups after tonight, with the Jets, Colts, and Seahawks on the summer slate. If weather bites, rotation and exposure could shift, especially in the first half, potentially limiting fantasy upside for some pass-catchers and elevating runners in damp conditions.
