The Packers practiced on Sunday, August 19, 2018.  It was closed to the media and to the public. This was a very short practice.

Did Not Participate/Formation/Personnel Usage

Davon House (hamstring) went through early drills but that was it [not in pads]. Others who didn't practice were; WR Trevor Davis (hamstring), WR Jake Kumerow (shoulder), RB Jamaal Williams (ankle), RB Devante Mays (hamstring) and G Justin McCray (calf).  Demovsky

First-string offensive line at practice today: Bakhtiari, Taylor, Linsley, Bell, Bulaga.  Cohen

“They paid me a lot of money, and they never had a major salary cap year. … So we’ve still been able to add guys to the mix and have a competitive team. And from my standpoint, they’ve paid me a ton of money. I’m super extremely financially blessed and very happy.  If we do another deal, that obviously is the goal,” Rodgers said. “I don’t think they would want to nickel and dime me, and I’m not trying to screw them. This is a partnership. That’s the only way this is going to work, and the best way things work in this situation is we’re in this together. ”  Aaron Rodgers

RB Jamaal Williams is doing drills with a trainer off to the side. Sign his ankle isn’t real bad.  Silverstein

Jake Kumerow made a late locker room appearance. Said his shoulder is still nagging him a bit, but he's hopeful to be back soon.  Cohen

Practice No. 13 is over after 1 hour, 28 minutes. Has to be in running for shortest of camp.  Hodkiewicz

Rodgers and No. 1 line playing all scout team. Should give you an idea who’s playing Friday.  Silverstein

Based on this period, I would say the starting offense will not play and the starting defense will play, with maybe an exception here/there.  Huber  Rodgers and most of the offensive starters are running the scout-team cards during this team period. May be spectators on Friday.  Wilde

Williams injured his right ankle. He thought Steelers LB Vince Williams “most definitely” made a dirty play twisting his leg. Seems pretty obvious.  Huber

Jermaine Whitehead right back into the starting defense as a slot corner in sub packages. He was dealing with a back injury.  Cohen

Aaron Jones is taking team reps with the first-string offense. Looks like the hamstring injury is behind him.  Huber

Daniels taking team reps. Good sign for him. Hasn’t been on the field much this month because of quad injury.  Wood

Actual Plays

TE Marcedes Lewis took contact from S Josh Jones a smidge before the football arrived, and he held on anyway. Lewis might not have game-changing speed, but he’s a huge target who has shown excellent hands. More than just a blocker. Should complement Jimmy Graham well.  Wood

J’Mon Moore with an unfortunate slip as he broke toward the sideline. Allowed for an easy interception by CB Donatello Brown on a ball thrown by DeShone Kizer.  Cohen

Marcedes Lewis and EQ St. Brown each with nice catches in middle of the field in team.  Hodkiewicz

Offensive Line/Defensive Line

Byron Bell got RG reps with the first group with Justin McCray (calf) out. Probably better suited for interior than tackle.  Wood

Lucas Patrick taking some snaps at center. McCarthy said they’d be moving lots of guys around this week.  Silverstein

FROM ROB DEMOVSKY: Demovsky’s 1-on-1 pass rush/pass block drill record:, here are the results so far with 3 open practices left ranked by RPI:

It seems tough to see much correlation between success at 1 on 1s and the quality of play during the pre-season games.
