Overview
- Coach Matt LaFleur warned Hobbs on the third day of no-pad practice to tone down his hits after he twice drove through wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks.
- In the first padded practice on July 28, Hobbs clipped running back MarShawn Lloyd low, causing him to limp off with training staff support.
- LaFleur emphasized that losing a player in practice hurts team depth and that the Packers must compete hard while protecting one another.
- Hobbs, signed in March to a four-year, $48 million deal after five seasons with the Raiders, has embraced a self-described “dog” mentality that fuels his aggressive style.
- The Packers intend to refine early camp contact levels as they integrate Hobbs’ energy into a secondary built around Jordan Love.
