Packers to host joint practices with Patriots in the preseason

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.
