According to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic, the Green Bay Packers will host joint practices with the New England Patriots during the 2023 preseason. Joint practices have recently become a substitution for starters playing preseason games, as it’s more of a controlled environment and typically leads to fewer injuries.
Since head coach Matt LaFleur has taken over the Packers, the team has attempted to host a joint practice in every season that he’s coached. In 2019, the team welcomed the Houston Texans — who former Aaron Rodgers criticized for not giving realistic looks in situational football drills.
