Recapping sixth practice of Packers training camp: Matthew Golden shines
The Green Bay Packers were without three different players on offense to begin Tuesday's padded practice, but Matt LaFleur's team welcomed back Elgton Jenkins to 11-on-11 work and got a few brilliant moments from rookie Matthew Golden, who continues to show up in a big way to start his first training camp in Green Bay. Recapping Day 6 of Packers training camp practices: Injury updates Receiver Dontayvion Wicks has a new calf injury and didn't practice. Running back MarShawn Lloyd injured his groin during Monday's practice and didn't participate Tuesday. The Packers believe Lloyd suffered a soft-tissue injury before he was hit by Nate Hobbs on Monday. Left guard Aaron Banks, who had a back injury last week, didn't practice, suggesting he really is day to day. Rookie receiver Savion Williams departed practice early. Big things to know While Jordan Morgan replaced Aaron Banks at left guard, Elgton Jenkins took his first 11-on-11 snaps of training camp at center. The Packers are easing him back into the mix, but Jenkins is progressing. It's getting more and more difficult to temper expectations for Matthew Golden. On a 1-on-1 rep versus Carrington Valentine, Golden made a big-time adjustment of an underthrown deep ball and made the contested catch. Later, he got behind the coverage of the starting defense and caught a long touchdown pass from Jordan Love in 11-on-11. Love also found him on a crosser under pressure, and he drew two different penalty flags against coverage. The rookie is looking increasingly more impressive during the first week of camp. Lukas Van Ness beat Jordan Morgan twice in pass-rushing 1-on-1s. Per Rob Demovsky of ESPN, Van Ness is 3-0 in the drill to start training camp. And the 2023 first-round pick has been active in 11-on-11 periods. Positive early signs. Rookie defensive lineman Nazir Stackhouse continues to make noise. Twice during team periods, he produced a "sack" of the quarterback. The undrafted rookie has made notable plays during three straight practices. Signs of improvement are also showing up for Ty'Ron Hopper, who had another active practice. Xavier McKinney had a pick of Jordan Love in a team period. Can Luke Musgrave be a playmaker in Year 3? He had a good round of 1-on-1s against Javon Bullard. Matt LaFleur pulled Rasheed Walker and made him run a lap late in the practice, and he was not happy in his post-practice huddle. It's possible an intense, physical practice got a little too intense and physical late. Matt LaFleur press conference Brian Gutekunst press conference What's next A well-earned day off on Wednesday. The Packers return to the practice field on Thursday for the first of three straight days of practice, culminating in Family Night at Lambeau Field on Saturday night.

Jaguars' DE Josh Hines-Allen looking to break a record in 2025
Jacksonville Jaguars' DE Josh Hines-Allen has set a huge goal for himself for the 2025 season. Jacksonville Jaguars' pass rusher Josh Hines-Allen wants to break an NFL record during the 2025 season. As Hines-Allen told reporters, his goal for the upcoming year is to set the NFL's single-season sack record. Currently, that record belongs to Micahel Strahan and TJ Watt, with each hitting the 22.5 sack mark. Meaning, Hines-Allen would have to get to at least 23. "I think all pass rushers should strive for that goal like every team strives to win a Super Bowl," Hines-Allen said via ESPN. "So, I think my goal is to break the record and not really focus on it. Just know that if I handle what I need to handle, stay healthy, know what I'm doing, communicate, anticipate what's happening to me, anticipate pass and kind of be quicker on that, then everything's going to play off the way it's supposed to." During the 2023 season, Hines-Allen got to 17.5 sacks that year. Getting to the sack record would mean finding an additional 5.5 sacks to go with his career-high from two seasons ago. Along with the 17.5 sacks, Hines-Allen also produced 90 pressures that season as well, putting himself consistently in a position to get to the quarterback. In 2024, Hines-Allen's overall numbers took a step back. He finished the year with 8.0 sacks and 63 pressures--although from a consistency standpoint, he was still one of the more productive pass rushers in football, ranking 10th among defensive ends in pressures and 17th in pass rush win rate, according to PFF. This year, after being asked by former defensive coordinator Ryan Nielsen to bulk up in 2024, Hines-Allen is now back at his more natural playing weight. He's also operating in a defensive scheme under Anthony Campanile that plays with a more attacking play style, has more movement up front, and more potential blitz opportunities, all of which could help Hines-Allen's production.
