“I don’t see any benefit to it (playing in the preseason). I definitely don’t see any benefit to playing one series,” Rodgers said. 

The No. 1 line in practice Tuesday was Nijman at left tackle, Runyan at left guard, Myers at center, Hanson at right guard and Newman at right tackle. 

Rodgers can talk all he wants about his ayahuasca journey he took while in Peru more than two years ago and the more recent one he took during the offseason.

Danny Davis has quietly come on and has caught the eye of head coach Matt LaFleur and others. “Danny has shown much improvement, especially coming from (the offseason program) to now,” LaFleur said.

It’s been noticeable how much calmer, elusive and accurate Jordan Love has been under pressure — which has been often, as the Packers’ mix-and-match offensive lines have struggled.

“There’s a lot of question marks, and we’ll try and answer those in the next five weeks,” quarterback Aaron Rodgers said of the group.

Beyond all he accomplished on the field, Butler also created the Packers’ signature touchdown celebration — the 'Lambeau Leap' — during a bitterly cold game in 1993.

The Aaron Rodgers-led offense, which had struggled against the much-ballyhooed No. 1 defense for much of the first two weeks of camp, didn’t get much going during a scripted 11-on-11 period early in practice.

“Rasul is one of the smartest guys I’ve ever played with,” Aaron Rodgers said during his weekly Q&A session with reporters on Wednesday.

“Every single day — you guys know, you’ve been watching — there’s been at least one ‘Wow’ play for him. And that’s rare for a young guy like that,” quarterback Aaron Rodgers told reporters gathered at his locker after Wednesday’s practice.

Instead of taking off on a panicky scramble or chucking the ball into the bleachers, Jordan Love calmly escaped the pocket, continued through his progressions and trusted his receiver would be in the right spot.

Jake Hanson is happy to take on the extra assignments and responsibilities that come with working with the No. 1 offensive line at right guard and with the No. 2 group at center.

Randy Ramsey might be the most important player on the Packers’ roster you’ve never heard of.

Allen Lazard prepped for the greatest opportunity of his pro football career back home, working out at his alma mater, Iowa State, and staying away from the offseason program while hoping in vain for the security of a long-term contract.

Robert Tonyan was converted small-school quarterback and carved out a role from an undrafted free agent to a productive starter in the NFL. The Packers tight end continues to take it one day at a time.

Veteran wide receiver Sammy Watkins has not played a full regular season since his rookie year. He made his practice debut on Friday after suffering an injury before training camp began.

The fourth-round selection made several nice plays — including an attention-grabbing snare of an underthrown Danny Etling pass along the left sideline against tight coverage by Kabion Ento.

Rookie fourth-round pick works with the top unit as Green Bay shuffles players around due to injuries to David Bakhtiari and Elgton Jenkins.

Both David Bakhtiari and general manger Brian Gutekunst acknowledged Bakhtiari had undergone a third surgical procedure on his knee after the season ended, following a January 2021 ACL reconstruction and another clean-up procedure last November.

There were big plays aplenty from the receiver corps, which drew praise from Aaron Rodgers, despite missing Christian Watson and Sammy Watkins due to injuries.

“All I’m saying is, we’ve shot for the Super Bowl every single year. ‘Oh, we’re making it this year. This is our year.’ (So let’s try) low expectations. And we’ll see how it goes,” veteran receiver Randall Cobb says.
