Training camp can be fickle. Earlier this week, the Green Bay Packers signed kicker Lenny Krieg. Just yesterday, receiver Brendan Rice missed his first practice with a hamstring injury. On Friday, both of those players were released to make room for the additions of receiver Kaden Prather and long snapper Cal Adomitis.
The old adage is that you can't make the club in the tub, and that's truer the further you go down the depth chart. This is your reminder of how thin the margins are for the bottom 20-ish players on the Packers' 91-man offseason roster to keep their jobs on a day-to-day basis.
Beyond the transactions, here's what you missed on Friday if you weren't able to attend today's training camp practice.
TUCKER KRAFT IS BACK. The tight end isn't participating in team drills just yet, but he is off the physically unable to perform list and did do individual drills on Friday. For those keeping track at home, he did return to practice earlier than receiver Christian Watson did off his ACL tear. If edge rusher Micah Parsons follows the same timeline as Kraft, his return to practice would be somewhere in mid-September (which is now allowed for players on the PUP list due to an offseason rule change).
Linebacker Edgerrin Cooper's injury on Thursday was not serious and be practiced on Friday.
