First punting of camp, neither punter stands out, tho punting into breeze. Masthay 35.2 avg on 4 punts, Mortell 36.6
— Pete Dougherty (@PeteDougherty) July 26, 2016
Masthay dominates in Td 2 against Mortell. Three good high punts against a strong wind. Mortell had two under 30 yards.

Josh Walker is playing mostly guard today, just as he did during off-season program. Looks like his ill-fated stint at tackle might be over.

#PackersCampThoughts: Richard Rodgers has the biggest calves I've ever seen on a human being...like he's smuggling midgets.
— Greg Matzek (@gmatzek) July 26, 2016
I’ve heard hulking calves described many ways. “Smuggling midgets” is new to me.

#Packers WR Jared Abbrederis beats CB Randall Jette deep, and CBs coach Joe Whitt falls to the ground. Rough first day for DBs. It's early.
— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) July 26, 2016
Meanwhile, some training camp staples: he’s in the “best shape of his life” and “breakout season” watch.

McCarthy: LB Blake Martinez did a heck of a job in spring. He stood out. He picked things up seamlessly. #PackersCamp
— Green Bay Packers (@packers) July 26, 2016
McCarthy: have a game plan ready for Indy already. We will treat it just like an installation as opposed to trying to game plan to win.
