“Whether we have two of them on the field, all three of them on the field, we’ll get creative and have some fun with it," defensive coordinator Joe Barry said.

Matt LaFleur and his staff, stuck squarely in the middle of this staredown between Aaron Rodgers and management, had no choice but to begin planning for camp.

There is absolutely no question the group is better off than their counterparts from last year were, when those rookies spent their first NFL offseason entirely in the virtual realm thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Meanwhile, the Packers were holding the penultimate OTA practice of their offseason — a voluntary session that Aaron Rodgers was hardly the only player to skip.

The former Central Connecticut player spent most of last season on the New England Patriots’ practice squad.

Packers second-year quarterback Jordan Love was undeniably impressive in the same 11-on-11 periods Wednesday where he’d struggled 24 hours earlier.

Aaron Rodgers' teammates know the Packers stand virtually zero chance of reaching Super Bowl LVI this season without the three-time NFL MVP.

“By no means are the training wheels on," coach Matt Lafleur said. "We’re throwing a lot at all these guys.”

"We are working to resolve the situation and realize that the less both sides say publicly, the better,” Packers president Mark Murphy wrote in his monthly column for the team website.

With former No. 2 running back Jamaal Williams having departed, the second-year man is in line to share the backfield workload with Aaron Jones.
