Controversial Hit Sidelines Green Bay Packers' Marshawn Lloyd and Puts Nate Hobbs in Timeout

During Green Bay Packers training camp on Monday, July 28, offseason addition Nate Hobbs didn't pull back on physicality enough after head coach Matt LaFleur spoke to him on Sunday.

After a few hits during non-padded practice, like taking down Dontayvion Wicks on Friday, LaFleur told the cornerback to take it down a notch or two with the aggressiveness. While Hobbs' physicality is what general manager Brian Gutekunst and the head coach hopes spreads to other Packers, LaFleur doesn't want to see his players unnecessarily get hurt before the season even starts.

However, another incident occurred one day after their talk and LaFleur had to make a decision.
