Rookie kicker James Turner up first on Day 1 of Packers training camp

On the first day of Green Bay Packers training camp, incumbent kicker Anders Carlson and veteran Greg Joseph took a backseat to rookie newcomer James Turner.

Claimed off waivers from the Detroit Lions last month, Turner was up first to kick on Monday. Neither Carlson nor Joseph kicked during the opening practice, but Turner went 4-for-6 on field goals, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN. He missed from 43 yards and 46 yards, both wide right. Turner made kicks from 33, 38, 41 and 44 yards, per Bill Huber of SI.
