Green Bay Packers practice news and notes, 8/3: the Packers need a new Jugs machine

The Green Bay Packers hosted practice indoors on Wednesday as they attempted to protect the team’s grass for their outdoor practice facility during the rain. The practice was already scheduled to be closed to the public, open only to the team and the media, but the Packers will have public practice again on Thursday, their final practice before Family Night.

Today’s practice was a walkthrough, with the highlight of the day coming in the pre-practice press conference via head coach Matt LaFleur. Apparently, yesterday’s poor showing from the punt returners was due to problems that the coaches had with the team’s Jugs machine, a contraption that simulates passes, punts and kickoffs without the need for a quarterback or specialist.
