Training camp for the Green Bay Packers is in full swing, with the team celebrating the seventh anniversary of the Packaday podcast. Recently, the Packers claimed running back Israel Abanikanda off waivers, a player with immense potential that failed to find his footing with the New York Jets and the San Francisco 49ers.

Abanikanda's talent is unquestionable, marked by his explosive playing style during his college days at Pittsburgh. At just 22, he remains a promising addition to a crowded running back room that includes Josh Jacobs and Emanuel Wilson. The practice environment has been lively, and notable injuries have affected the roster, including Aaron Banks and Seavon Williams, although both players are expected to return soon.

The intensity of Friday's practice was amplified by a large crowd, making it a significant day for the team. Jordan Love showcased his skills, connecting with Dantavian Wicks for a 50-yard touchdown. Kicker Brandon McManus was named player of the day, hitting all his attempts, including three from beyond 50 yards. This marks a stark contrast to last year's kicking woes, establishing him as a reliable asset for the Packers.
