Packers: No Thursday Practice

The Green Bay Packers get a day off from practice, as they get ready for Saturday night’s exhibition game at Washington. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers is not likely to play, but he expects to get some work in during the third preseason game next week at Denver. He started with the Number One offense during Wednesday’s scrimmage at practice. Meanwhile, corner LaDarius Gunter has shown some improvement after he moved from the perimeter to a spot where he covers the slot receivers. The second year pro struggled in his first week at Training Camp — but Gunter is playing better at practice, and he recovered one of five fumbles in last week’s Green Bay exhibition victory against Philadelphia.
