The Green Bay Packers had a shorter practice than usual on Wednesday, one which head coach Matt LaFleur described as a “mental” practice. Focusing on details might not be a bad choice for the team, as they’ve lost five of their last six games. According to LaFleur, the team will not have a padded practice this week. As a reminder, NFL teams are limited to 14 padded practices during the regular season.
To open the week, cornerback Jaire Alexander (shoulder) and safety Rudy Ford (biceps) were non-participants in practice. Previously, Ford had dealt with a calf injury, and the starting safety was able to finish out the game against the Pittsburgh Steelers last weekend — playing all 65 of the team’s defensive snaps.
