News and highlights from Packers Family Night in 2023

Packers Jordan Love Lambeau Field

The Green Bay Packers will hold their eighth practice of training camp in 2023 inside Lambeau Field. Saturday night is the team’s annual “Family Night” scrimmage.

The event was sold out, and the forecast is just about perfect, providing the perfect setting for Matt LaFleur’s team.

The main event: Jordan Love’s first appearance inside Lambeau Field as the starting quarterback of the Packers. Saturday night is just a practice, but it’s also a big moment in the transition from Hall of Famer to first-year starter at the game’s most important position.

Packers Wire will track all the news and highlights from the practice:

Carlson ends a big night

The rookie kicker ended practice with another long field goal make:

Love-to-Watson TD in two-minute

Here’s the scoring play on the two-minute drive:

Successful two-minute for No. 1 O

Take a look at this beautiful two-minute drive from the No. 1 offense:

Awesome shot

Terrific look at the Jordan Love huddle inside Lambeau Field on Saturday night:

Love to Reed

Nice second reaction play in the pocket from Jordan Love here, finding rookie Jayden Reed in a team period:

Excellent response from Carlson

Another kicking update. Rookie Anders Carlson made two kicks over 50 yards, bringing him to 8-of-9 on the night. Exactly the response Matt LaFleur was looking for.

Good rep from Van Ness

Here’s the Packers’ first-round pick showing off his power as a pass-rusher (should be noted, this is against a tight end).

Carlson now 5-for-6

Rookie kicker Anders Carlson made 2-of-3 kicks during his second round of live kicking and is now 5-for-6, although there’s a big caveat on his one miss so far:

Wyatt's big play

Here’s Devonte Wyatt’s big disruption (would-be sack) during a team period:

Here's the Love-to-Doubs touchdown

The team’s site tweeted out the Love-to-Doubs touchdown in one-on-ones:

Strong start continues for Wyatt

Another disruptive moment from 2022 first-round pick Devonte Wyatt, who looks well on his way to a breakout second season:

Lambeau Leap for Quadzilla

Red zone touchdown from Love to Jones

Excellent start for rookie kicker Anders Carlson

Anders Carlson made his first three field goal attempts (plus an extra point in warmups). He needed a strong start on Saturday night after a shaky first few days of training camp.

Great move from Musgrave

Rookie tight end Luke Musgrave put a great move on Darnell Savage during 1-on-1s to get open and haul in a pass. His in-breaking move made Savage slip, and Musgrave was wide open.

Big throw from Love

Jordan Love to Romeo Doubs in 1-on-1s:

Elevating Family Night

Another first-team chance for Jonathan Owens

Jonathan Owens, a 17-game starter for the Texans last season, is getting another chance to run with the first-team defense alongside Darnell Savage at safety. Rudy Ford had been locked in as the starter next to Savage. Game on at safety.

Players not practicing during Family Night

Players not practicing on Saturday night, including tight end Josiah Deguara (calf) and rookie running back Lew Nichols, per Wes Hodkiewicz:

First-team offensive line

Without David Bakhtiari and Elgton Jenkins, the starting five offensive line in warmup was, from left to right, Yosh Nijman, Royce Newman, Josh Myers, Jon Runyan Jr. and Zach Tom, per Bill Huber of SI.

Elgton Jenkins also out

Left guard Elgton Jenkins also isn’t practicing on Saturday night. It’s unclear at this point if Jenkins’ absence is injury related. The Packers might just be protecting a Pro Bowl player.

No David Bakhtiari

Left tackle David Bakhtiari is not practicing on Saturday night. He hasn’t been on the practice field since Tuesday. The Packers have him on a modified practice schedule, but this is something to track. Matt LaFleur will speak following the practice.

Here comes Jordan Love

First-year starting quarterback Jordan Love enters Lambeau Field:
