The Green Bay preseason debut unraveled in a hurry: the offense sputtered, penalties piled up, and the defense couldn’t finish plays. Yet the night wasn’t without takeaways. Jaden Reed flashed as a dynamic target before needing a walking boot later in practice week, Romeo Doubs showed steady hands, and Matthew Golden snagged a notable DPI against Sauce Gardner. Aaron LaFluer’s crew carries a wake-up call into joint practices with Indy and next week’s tilt, aiming to clean up drops, penalties, and tackling.

Beyond the box score, contemporary depth players like Amar Johnson, Mecole Hardman, and Malik Heath flashed enough to keep fantasy managers’ eyes on Green Bay’s wideout mix. Punter Daniel Whan boomed possessions, while Colby Wooden and Elton Jenkins offered glimmers of stabilizing presence. With Detroit looming Week 1, the question remains: can the Packers convert practice intensity into a more cohesive game plan and healthier personnel, especially if Reed’s Week 1 status is in question?
