Mike McCarthy met with the media prior to practice.
#Packers HC McCarthy on pads 4 1st time in #PackersCamp "It's the closest you can get to a game." #TrainingCamp pic.twitter.com/qvJx7oLUBf

McCarthy said he's not nervous about youth on the D-line. Clark, Lowry and Ringo have never played in a game but will be needed -- quickly.

MM on Clay Matthews: "Moving inside changed him as a football player. Not only changed him, but changed his teammates' view of him."
— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) July 28, 2016
McCarthy on Mike Daniels: "Mike is letting his personality not only show, but be felt inside the locker room." He's mentoring Kenny Clark.
— Michael Cohen (@Michael_Cohen13) July 28, 2016
McCarthy on Richard Rodgers dropping weight: "I think he's definitely one to put in that category of taking the next step." #Packers

McCarthy said the first days with pads are very telling. Guys can look great in shorts and t-shirts but struggle once the contact arrives.
— Michael Cohen (@Michael_Cohen13) July 28, 2016
Today’s practice is the first of the season with the players in full pads. This gives us a great look at the offensive and defensive lines.
TE Mitchell Henry not in pads today. Guard Lucas Patrick has a club on his right hand.
— Michael Cohen (@Michael_Cohen13) July 28, 2016
Aaron Rodgers still has it. He drops beauty of a throw over #Packers OLB Kyler Fackrell, to TE Justin Perillo for over shoulder catch.
— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) July 28, 2016
LaDarius Gunter just channeled his numerical predecessor, @leroybutler, in a run stuffing TFL. #Packers
— Jay Sorgi (@jsorgi) July 28, 2016
First day of pads at #Packers practice, and Mike Daniels just punched Don Barclay in the helmet. That's one way to set a tone.
— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) July 28, 2016
Lacy drops an easy ball in the flat on Rodgers scramble. Lots of ball handling problems today. Field isn't that wet.
— Tom Silverstein (@TomSilverstein) July 28, 2016
Mike Daniels was, uh, ready for the pads to come on. Gets penetration in combo, ball comes loose. Clark recovers
— Wes Hodkiewicz (@WesHod) July 28, 2016
Leftover from 2 days of #PackersCamp ... LB Blake Martinez is clearly smart. Loves the "why" part of Xs and Os. Looked good in dime LB role.
— Eric Edholm (@Eric_Edholm) July 28, 2016
Rollins rips the ball out of Davante Adams' arms after a slant. More fumble than incomplete.
— Tom Silverstein (@TomSilverstein) July 28, 2016
Rodgers threads one to Adams in tight coverage vs Goodson. Adams atoning for having ball stripped earlier by Rollins #PackersCamp
— Mike Spofford (@mikespofford) July 28, 2016
Rookie Davis with the catch of the day! Ball deflected at the line, wobbling all the way in and he caught it at the shoestrings #Packers
— Dave Schroeder (@SchroederWBAY) July 28, 2016
Hard enough for me to spin a basketball. A football? No chance. Leave that to Rodgers. #PackersCamp pic.twitter.com/pzO1085lht
— Mike Spofford (@mikespofford) July 28, 2016
Dean Lowry quietly showing some ability. Just blew up a running play by beating center Jacob Flores across his face.
— Tom Silverstein (@TomSilverstein) July 28, 2016
Ball goes over fence onto Mike McCarthy Way. Two ADULTS run into traffic to get it, wrestle. Then have to give to #Packers staffer anyway.
— Jason Wilde (@jasonjwilde) July 28, 2016
Pads are popping now. Combo/half line run drill getting going at #PackersCamp pic.twitter.com/wQii5wwVso

Mason Crosby keeps kicking field goals into the streets. Nets not high enough #PackersCamp
— Nathan Jahnke (@PFF_NateJahnke) July 28, 2016
Luke Getsy bringing back the unique WR drills to #PackersCamp. Catching tennis balls off the ball, dropping & catching bricks with 1 hand
— Stephen Watson (@WISN_Watson) July 28, 2016
Hundley's hard count is really getting good. He just fooled Matthews and Daniels, who both jumped offsides. #Packers
— Michael Cohen (@Michael_Cohen13) July 28, 2016
Peppers schools rookie Jason Spriggs for what would have been a sack of Hundley.
— Tom Silverstein (@TomSilverstein) July 28, 2016
#Packers S Morgan Burnett, really good in box, profiles as a hybrid safety at 209 pounds. Have to wonder if he might eventually be dime LB.
— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) July 28, 2016
Kickoff returners today: Janis, Hyde, Abbrederis, Davis
— Pete Dougherty (@PeteDougherty) July 28, 2016
DBs working on pick routes. Quentin Rollins a beautiful job of playing it.
— Tom Silverstein (@TomSilverstein) July 28, 2016
Yet another RB fumble. This time Brandon Burks coughs it up. The way Crockett is running these undrafted guys don't stand a chance.
— Tom Silverstein (@TomSilverstein) July 28, 2016
Clinton-Dix with hit on Janis downfield to break up deep ball from Rodgers, who connects w/Rodgers & Adams on next two plays. #PackersCamp
— Mike Spofford (@mikespofford) July 28, 2016
Blake Martinez work with the dime defense today. Had been splitting time with Joe Thomas at that spot. #Packers
— Michael Cohen (@Michael_Cohen13) July 28, 2016
A steady rain fell in Green Bay this morning. It didn’t keep fans from enjoying their time around Lambeau, however.
