Here's what Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur told reporters following Day 1 of practice at mandatory minicamp on Tuesday.
The Green Bay Packers entered the final stage of the offseason program Tuesday with the first practice of mandatory minicamp.
“I want to make sure we’re healthy," LaFleur said after the first day of practice. "That’s what I want to get out of them. Anytime you have an opportunity to go out there and practice football, that’s something that’s really hard to do when you’re by yourself over the course of the next five weeks." Absent from practice, not from injury but with permission granted from LaFleur, were the secondary trio of Xavier McKinney, Jaire Alexander and Keisean Nixon.
“I think Zayne, he always approaches it the right way and gives great effort," LaFleur said. "He started to gain some confidence as a player last season, especially on we-fense . And then to see him get more opportunities on defense and go out there and make plays, I think that’s exciting. It’s a heck of a competition, just with the caliber of players that we have in that room."
