Teams that can get ready the fastest will have an edge early in the season
GREEN BAY - Every NFL team faces the same situation, but Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers didn't hesitate to characterize preparation for the 2020 regular season as a significant challenge.
Players had no on-field workouts in the spring, only virtual meetings. Training camp is underway, but padded practices won't start until mid-August, and there will be no preseason games.
As the Packers finished their first walk-through Monday with the veteran players who have cleared COVID-testing protocols, Rodgers noted how condensed all the work will be with Week 1 at Minnesota roughly 40 days away.
