The Green Bay Packers provided good news on MarShawn Lloyd, returned Aaron Banks to 11-on-11 work, saw the first miss from Brandon McManus at training camp, repped Jordan Morgan at left tackle with the first-team offense and got a few highlight performances from important pass-rushers during Thursday's practice, the seventh of training camp.
Recapping Day 7 of Packers training camp practices:
Injury updates
Matt LaFleur said running back MarShawn Lloyd avoided a long-term injury but will likely miss the rest of the practices this week. Left guard Aaron Banks, who has missed two practices with a back injury, returned on Thursday and participated during 11-on-11 periods. Receivers Dontayvion Wicks (calf) and Savion Williams (concussion) also returned, although Wicks dropped out late and receiver Jayden Reed missed some time.
Big things to know
Rashan Gary beat Zach Tom a couple of times in 1-on-1s, and Lukas Van Ness had another active day, including a win against Jordan Morgan in team.
Brandon McManus is human after all. After making 25 straight kicks to open training camp, McManus missed during a windy day at Ray Nitschke Field. He responded later in the practice by making a pair of kicks over 50 yards. McManus is officially 28/29 so far at camp.
With Aaron Banks and Elgton Jenkins back, Jordan Morgan received his most extensive work at left tackle of training camp. It looks like the competition at left tackle between Morgan and Rasheed Walker is officially on.
Luke Musgrave made a pair of catches and Jordan Love was 4-for-6 passing during a third-down period. One of the connections between Love and Musgrave was an impressive completion against the coverage of Xavier McKinney and Carrington Valentine. Musgrave was a frequent target and caught passes during several team periods, marking his most productive day of camp.
Romeo Doubs had a highlight play, making a contested catch over Javon Bullard along the sideline for a touchdown.
Carrington Valentine picked off his third pass of training camp. He got Malik Willis during a two-minute period. The defense actually won all three two-minute periods -- with the offense needing to drive the field for a touchdown -- to end practice.
Reporters at practice were impressed to see the work being done by Christian Watson on the sideline.
