The Green Bay Packers held tryouts for nine different players on Monday, just two days before Matt LaFleur's team opens training camp with a practice on Wednesday. Of the nine players, four were running backs and three were tight ends -- suggesting the Packers are looking for extra bodies at the two injury-affected positions to start camp. The idea is reinforced by the fact that tight ends Tucker Kraft and Luke Musgrave landed on the PUP list and running back Chris Brooks was placed on the non-football injury list on Monday. This time of year, teams will churn the bottom of the roster to make sure they have enough numbers to successfully operate camp practices.
The following nine players were in Green Bay for a tryout on Monday:
TE Josh Beetham (Georgia Tech): Converted quarterback played 11 games over three seasons at Michigan before seeing action in 23 games at GT. Caught only nine passes over final two seasons. UDFA.
TE Drew Biber (Minnesota): Wisconsin native. Caught 18 passes for Minnesota in 2025 after playing first four seasons at Purdue. UDFA.
C Gus Hartwig (Purdue): Spent time with the New York Jets after signing as a UDFA in 2025. Made 48 college starts at center.
