The Green Bay Packers held their fourth training camp practice on Sunday, another non-padded workout that lasted 1 hour, 40 minutes on a comfortable morning.

Green Bay will practice in full pads for the first time on Monday.

Here’s the good, bad and ugly from practice No. 4.

THE GOOD

WELCOME BACK: Cornerback Kamal Hadden came of the PUP list after suffering gruesome leg and ankle injuries in Week 17 last season.

Hadden missed the entire offseason program and the first three practices of training camp before being activated Sunday.

“I know it was a gruesome deal,” Packers coach Matt LaFleur said. “Anybody that's coming off a pretty significant injury, I think there's always a little bit of an unknown too. But if you attack it the right way, which he has, I think we feel confident that he'll be able to return to form.”

Hadden played in 10 games last year, mostly on special teams. He now joins an improved cornerback room that added free agent Benjamin St-Juste and second round draft pick Brandon Cisse this offseason.

In Hadden’s first practice, his right pinky popped out during a drill. One of Green Bay’s trainers popped it back in and he immediately returned to the practice field.

“Man, it tested my faith,” Hadden said of his comeback. “I knew I was strong and I could fight through adversity. I always believed in God, always believed in Him and He makes no mistakes and faith over fear and things like that. But when it's put to the test like this, it really tests (you).

“You really can't see the end, but you can see the journey that is paving for you or He’s paving for you, and it just me really trust that and believe anything is possible and nothing happens for no reason. So, I knew I could get through it if He put me through it.”

Rookie offensive lineman Jager Burton (hamstring) also returned to practice.

READY TO CONTRIBUTE?: Second year edge rusher Collin Oliver played just one game last season due to a hamstring injury. With Micah Parsons out (ACL) to begin the year, the Packers need someone to provide a lift, and perhaps Oliver can help.

On Sunday, Oliver stuffed a run after beating tight end Drake Dabney. Then Oliver whipped tackle Dalton Cooper for what would have been a sack of quarterback Tyrod Taylor. Because there is no contact, though, Oliver stopped, put his hands on his hips and waited for Taylor to make the throw.

“Obviously you know who we’re missing, an elite player, one of the best if not the best defensive players in our generation,” Oliver said of Parsons. “We can’t really focus on that, though.

“We have to focus on what we can control, and how well we do in practice, in the classroom, and ultimately how that applies to the game. Honestly, it’s on us to just take control of our room, and understand who we got right now and just work with what we have right now, because I believe that’s all we can do.”

IT’S TRICKY, TRICKY, TRICKY: Green Bay ran a hook and ladder play in which backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor hit Bo Melton, who then lateraled back to running back Pierre Strong Jr.

Strong Jr. then raced to the endzone for a 20-yard touchdown.

“Yeah, that was a kind of a unique play,” Melton said. "We were in a situation at the end of the half – a 19-second situation.

“We had to score and we had no timeouts. So, Coach LaFleur, he’s a mastermind, so he drew that up, and I thought we scored. They called him down but it was a great play. We practice that play a couple times.”

GOOD VIBRATIONS: On the first day of training camp, LaFleur said: “This is as excited as I've ever been coaching this football team in my time here, and it's because of the people we have in the room. I mean, players, coaches, support staff, everybody.”

The Packers’ 2025 season was a trying one.

Not only did Green Bay lose its final five games, LaFleur’s grade of a B-minus in an NFLPA survey was one of the lowest among NFL coaches. LaFleur attributed the poor grade to players frustrations over roles and communication regarding critical feedback.

So far, LaFleur is optimistic things have improved.

“I think it's just the overall vibe we have in the building, and it's not just exclusive to our players,” LaFleur said. “It's our coaching staff, our support staff. I think everybody's on the same page and pulling in the same direction, and that makes it a hell of a lot more fun to come to work every day.”

NAME CHANGE: Right tackle Zach Tom has changed his name to Zach Bako-Bewele. It’s a combination of his Nigerian grandparents’ last names.

“I want to have a name, especially when I start having kids and stuff, I want to have a name that I can pass down where it represents where they came from, where I came from,” Bako-Bewele said. “I just feel like that name will, people will see that name and have a good understanding of who I am, where I come from.”

**THIS AND THAT: ** Safety Evan Williams had a sack when blitzing. “After being here for three years I feel like I got a pretty good cue on J-Love’s timing through his cadence,” Wlliams said. … Defensive end Lukas Van Ness batted down a Jordan Love pass. … Linebacker Zaire Franklin had tremendous coverage on an incomplete pass down the middle for tight end Josh Whyle. … Wideout Bo Melton, who’s had a quiet camp, caught a touchdown from Jordan Love in a red zone period. … Defensive tackle Anthony Campbell has batted down at least three passes at the line of scrimmage in the first four practices. … Longtime Packers assistant Joe Philbin, who was Green Bay’s interim coach for four games in 2018, attended practice.

THE BAD

ROUGH START: Rookie kicker Trey Smack went 3-for-5 on field goals. Smack was good from 28, 33 and 42 yards, and was wide left from 38 and 45 yards.

While it was windy, Smack will likely kick in far worse conditions at Lambeau Field by Halloween.

NOT VALENTINES DAY: Fourth year cornerback Carrington Valentine dropped out of practice with an undisclosed injury. Rookie corner Brandon Cisse replaced Valentine with the No. 1 defense.

FROM THE INFIRMARY: The following Packers did not practice due to injury: edge rusher Micah Parsons (knee), defensive tackle Javon Hargrave (knee), tight end Luke Musgrave (neck), long snapper Matt Orzech (calf), tackle Brant Banks (hamstring), running back Chris Brooks (hamstring) and defensive tackle Jordon Reilly (Achilles).

THIS AND THAT: A wide receiver sweep to Savion Williams lost yardage. … The defense had a busted coverage in which reserve running back Damien Martinez caught a touchdown.

THE UGLY

SNAP TO IT: Donovan Jennings sent two snaps over the head of No. 2 quarterback Tyrod Taylor. Jennings was then replaced by John Williams.
