How does Packers kicker competition look after 5 training camp practices?

The sample size isn’t necessarily significant yet, but the incumbent kicker and the veteran challenger look to be ahead of the rookie through five training camp practices for the Green Bay Packers.

James Turner, the rookie out of Michigan, got another turn during the Packers’ fifth practice on Saturday. He connected on 5-of-7 kicks, including back-to-back makes over 45 yards to finish the practice, per Bill Huber of SI. His misses came from 47 yards and 49 yards.

Overall, Turner is 13-of-19 on kicks — or 68.4 percent — to start training camp.
