Packers Veteran Arrives 4 Days Early to Set the Tone for Camp

A Packers veteran has drawn attention by showing up at training camp four days ahead of schedule, determined to set the tone for the team before the new season even begins. For Green Bay, leadership is more than just words in a meeting room—it’s demonstrated through real action.

While most seasoned players were still enjoying the last stretch of summer, one of the franchise’s key faces arrived at Lambeau before dawn. A quiet buzz grew around the facility as Jordan Love slipped onto the practice field, not for solo drills, but to work with this year’s rookies — and to teach them what it truly means to be a Packer.

“If I want to lead this team, I have to live the standard. Showing up early isn’t extra — it’s expected. The rookies deserve to know what it means to be a Packer, and it starts with me.”
(Love said)

Love’s initiative did not go unnoticed by the coaching staff, who praised his commitment and willingness to set the pace for a roster that is both young and eager. Green Bay’s newest additions, fresh from the draft and wide-eyed, found themselves receiving one-on-one guidance from the team’s most important player — a clear sign that the transition from the Aaron Rodgers era is now complete.

For Love, this offseason is about more than just refining throws or reading defenses; it’s about building culture, fostering responsibility, and shaping a championship mentality. Both fans and analysts view his early arrival as proof that the Packers’ quarterback is not just ready to play—he’s ready to lead. And with playoff hopes on the rise, setting the tone from the outset may be what transforms another promising year into something truly legendary in Green Bay.

Steelers Add Two Former Packers Fan Favorites to Practice Squad To Strengthen Defense Ahead Of Browns Game
  PITTSBURGH – On Wednesday, October 8, 2025, the Pittsburgh Steelers welcomed two linebackers formerly with the Green Bay Packers for a workout session. The players invited were Michael Barrett and Isaiah Simmons, as the team looks to bolster its defensive unit ahead of upcoming games. Isaiah Simmons, selected as the 8th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft out of Clemson, has appeared in 84 games. He has recorded 329 tackles (226 solo, 103 assisted), 8.5 sacks (74 yards), 5 interceptions (127 yards), 2 interception touchdowns, 9 forced fumbles, and 3 fumble recoveries. Simmons, who briefly signed with the Packers in 2025 but didn’t make the final roster, is known for his versatility and impressive speed. Michael Barrett, a 7th-round pick (240th overall) by the Carolina Panthers in the 2024 NFL Draft out of Michigan, has limited NFL experience. He has appeared in a few games on practice squads with teams like the Packers and Browns but has yet to record significant stats (0 tackles, sacks, or interceptions). At Michigan, Barrett had a standout final college season with 65 tackles, 3 sacks, and 3 forced fumbles. Alex Highsmith, a key linebacker for the Steelers, suffered a high ankle sprain during the team’s Week 2 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on September 14, 2025. The injury sidelined him for Weeks 3 and 4, with an estimated recovery time of 4-6 weeks. While Highsmith was not placed on injured reserve to maintain roster flexibility, he is still recovering post-bye week and expected to return soon. However, the Steelers are seeking temporary replacements for the edge rusher position. The workouts with Barrett and Simmons reflect head coach Mike Tomlin’s cautious approach to adding depth to the defense, especially after releasing Ja’Whaun Bentley and losing Jon Rhattigan to the Raiders. Simmons, with his experience and athleticism, could be an ideal short-term option to support T.J. Watt and Nick Herbig. The Steelers have not yet announced any contract decisions regarding the two linebackers. SOURCE: https://x.com/FarabaughFB/status/1976031373946388722
