The Packers announced a series of roster moves Tuesday, including the signing of a new tight end. “It’s encouraging,” Rodgers said, “because what do we got, four weeks until the first game or so? And I think all of them might have a legit opportunity to play.” Packer swap tight ends The quarterback said he’ll test his rookie receiver every day in practice, making sure he’s ready to play. Rodgers said he was also pleased to see tight end Robert Tonyan and rookie receiver Christian Watson return from PUP. No matter where Jenkins lines up, his presence will be a big boost for the offensive line. Coach Matt LaFleur said Jenkins’ position will be “day to day” when he returns. It’s unknown if the Packers plan to slot Jenkins in at right tackle until David Bakhtiari returns. He has such a great feel, and it’s wild because he started at left guard, both tackle spots, center. “We’re watching a walkthrough rep, and I’m watching 74 (Jenkins), and it’s just different. When he fully returns, Jenkins likely will make a big difference for the offensive line. Jenkins, who returned from PUP on Sunday and lined up at right tackle in a jogthrough Monday, did not participate in team reps against the Saints. The Packers offensive line held up OK against the Saints in pass protection Tuesday, but it got little movement in the run game. I’d like to see him keep trusting his feet and his athleticism, especially we had a couple designed, read-option stuff, but you’d love to see him (when the) pocket breaks down, nobody is quite open on time, extend the play and take off and run and slide.” Elgton Jenkins' return big boost for lineįor Rodgers, Elgton Jenkins’ activation off the physically unable to perform list couldn’t happen soon enough. There were probably a couple decisions he’d like to have back, but those are kind of normal. “I thought there were some really nice balls. “It’s just about consistency,” Love said. The MVP known for his play extensions said Love needs to be more comfortable tucking the football and making plays when things break down around him. Love has thrown the ball on time and in rhythm more than the past, Rodgers said. Rodgers said his young understudy has shown improvement with his footwork in this camp.

“I felt really bad for Jordan the other night,” Rodgers said, “because we had a couple total mental busts for picks. He suggested much of went wrong for the offense in Friday night’s first half wasn’t on his backup. The Packers' starting quarterback said Love’s film “told a different story” than the three interceptions indicated on his box score. Of course, Rodgers also knows the stats can lie. So to have Jordan Love toss three picks in the first half of his preseason opener at San Francisco overshadowed his 2022 debut. Rodgers memorably threw only two interceptions in all of 2018. Last season, it took Rodgers five games to throw his third interception. And I need guys out there that I can trust.” Rodgers defends Love on interceptions Rodgers added: “We’re going to shift that perspective, a little slight adjustment here moving forward, because it’s getting close to time when it’s going to count.
“So there’s a standard we’re going to hold our guys to, and we know our coaches are going to be holding them to that standard as well.” We’re watching all the one reps, all the two reps, the three reps in our quarterback room. There’s been some splash plays, but there’s been a lot of mistakes. “They are rookies, but they’re NFL players and what’s been on film hasn’t been good enough as of yet. “I had a conversation with a couple of the young guys about the standard we’re going to hold them to,” Rodgers said.
