Josh Jones in the mix
S Josh Jones working as ILB with first nickel.

#Packers safety Josh Jones is not only at practice but participating in the field in walkthrough. His first time on the field since voluntary minicamp in April.

With rookie safety Darnell Savage Jr unable to practice today, Raven Greene is getting first-team reps alongside Adrian Amos. Would indicate Greene is third at the position at the start of camp.
— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) July 25, 2019
Montravius Adams continuing to get first-team reps alongside Kenny Clark and Dean Lowry on the DL. A continuation from the spring, but more real with Mike Daniels no longer here. #Packers need him to step up big.
— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) July 25, 2019
No surprises on OL. Starters are Bakhtiari, Taylor, Linsley, Turner and Bulaga. Second line is Spriggs, Patrick, McCray, Jenkins and Light.

The new-look defensive line group minus Mike Daniels. The trio of Montravius Adams (90), Dean Lowry (94) and Kenny Clark (97) opened as the starters in the base 3-4. https://t.co/eqVGK6kKyZ pic.twitter.com/8m56xaIRAz

With Raven Greene dropping back to replace Savage today, Josh Jones filled his spot as hybrid LB/safety. Greene was the hybrid this spring, when Jones was not participating. It’ll be interesting to see how the dominoes fall when Savage returns.
— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) July 25, 2019
Seeing a lot of fullback in the #Packers offense, same as the spring. Life looking good for Danny Vitale right now. Seems that position is making a return.

Special teams
Now that kickoff is being practiced it’s official Mason Crosby isn’t taking part. But he’s here hanging out with the specialists.
— Tom Silverstein (@TomSilverstein) July 25, 2019
Sam Ficken handled all the field goals with Mason Crosby not practicing and it was a rough start. Missed from 39 and 43 yards wide right and finished 4 for 6. It was into the wind but against no defense. https://t.co/np49ElPZQB
— Rob Demovsky (@RobDemovsky) July 25, 2019
Mason Crosby is here but doesn't appear to be practicing. He has a ball cap on and is talking to the other specialists. We'll have to wait for an update from Matt LaFleur post practice. https://t.co/IoSvyF749I

Running backs getting involved in the passing game
Aaron Jones motions out wide which gives them Jones and Graham to one side and MVS, Allison, and Adams to the other side. Queue @DustyEvely excitement.

Quarterback struggles
Blake Martinez just picked Rodgers in red zone. 12 never saw him. Huge eruption from the defense.
— Andy Herman (@SconnieSports) July 25, 2019
Aaron Rodgers’ first interception of camp comes against Blake Martinez in red zone drill. Didn’t read the LB underneath, threw it straight to him. Nice play for Martinez. A tackling machine, next step in his development is causing more turnovers.
— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) July 25, 2019
In fairness, Aaron Rodgers just missed a TD across the middle to Geronimo Allison. It happens.
— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) July 25, 2019
DeShone Kizer, whose throwing struggles from the spring have continued today, airmailed a pass to double coverage in middle of the field. Natrell Jamerson deflected the pass to CB Chandon Sullivan for an interception. Jake Kumerow, the intended WR, never had a chance.
— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) July 25, 2019
Rookie alert
Rashan Gary with a “sack” of Tim Boyle against Alex Light. Rashan Gary makes things look really really easy sometimes. Doesn’t feel like a rookie at all.
Blitz not picked up, Kizer gets it out hot, receiver stumbles but takes it in for the TD. I think Baylis.
— Andy Herman (@SconnieSports) July 25, 2019
Miscellaneous observations
Fake reverse action to MVS (a lot of this in minicamp). Dive up the middle to Jamaal.
Off the fingertips to Mercedes from Rodgers. Burks in coverage.
Offsides on Preston Smith on the hardcount. Bulaga jumps to get the call.

Rodgers to Kumerow for a TD to end team red zone #Packers
— Wes Hodkiewicz (@WesHod) July 25, 2019
Aaron Jones nearly had a phenepmal one handed TD catch in back of end zone but Josh Jones breaks it up
