The Green Bay Packers concluded their final internal training camp practice on Monday with a contentious two-hour session that featured multiple altercations among players. A scuffle erupted between receiver Matthew Golden and edge defender Barryn Sorrell, both former University of Texas players selected in last year’s draft, with linebacker Zaire Franklin and edge defender Lukas Van Ness becoming involved in the melee. Later in practice, receiver Will Sheppard and safety Trey Dean III engaged in another confrontation that resulted in Dean’s removal from the field. Despite the physical nature of the day’s work, Sorrell joked afterward that it was time to direct that intensity elsewhere.
The offensive depth chart remains unsettled heading into the final week, particularly at the guard positions. Aaron Banks and Zach Bako-Bewele, both recovering from knee injuries, continued rotating in practice, while Jager Burton and Jacob Monk also saw significant action. On the defensive side, Karl Brooks maintained his starting role at defensive end, and secondary standout Keisean Nixon had an impressive day with an interception and several pass breakups. Undrafted rookie Anthony Campbell continued turning heads with strong performances in one-on-one drills against starting offensive linemen.
Several players remain unavailable due to injury, though none are expected to be long-term absences. Brandon Cisse returned to practice after suffering a knee injury in the previous preseason game. The Packers will conclude training camp on Wednesday with a joint practice against the Arizona Cardinals, allowing the coaching staff to focus on developing the first-team units before the preseason finale on Friday.
