Caught my eye
Fired-up offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett ran over to bump Zach Wilson in congratulations after he threaded the needle to Allen Lazard.
The Wilson-Lazard connection struck again when Wilson scrambled out of a collapsing pocket and threw on the run to the sliding receiver.
Rodgers report
After he went 6-for-8 on passes in the first two 11-on-11 periods, Rodgers was at his best in the red-zone period.
He threw a touchdown pass to Tyler Conklin over the top of air-tight coverage from Jamien Sherwood, floated a touch-pass for a two-point conversion to Corey Davis and zipped a touchdown pass to Mecole Hardman in the back of a crowded end zone.
Injury report
OT Duane Brown came out to the field halfway through practice after he was excused from the first three days of camp due to personal reasons.
He acknowledged several individual shoutouts from fans who recognized him without a jersey number.
