Packers enter camp preparing for start of new era with Jordan Love taking over at QB
The Green Bay Packers are entering a new era as they adjust to the absence of four-time MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers following his trade to the New York Jets.
The Packers have scheduled two separate sessions of joint practices to give new starting quarterback Jordan Love more opportunities to work with his young receiving group before the season begins.
The Packers will have joint practices with the Cincinnati Bengals and New England Patriots before their exhibition games with both teams.
Love is a 2020 first-round pick from Utah State, who has made one career start.

KEY STORYLINES: The Packers are entering a new era as they adjust to the absence of Rodgers, the four-time MVP now with the New York Jets. New starting quarterback Jordan Love, a 2020 first-round pick from Utah State, has made just one career start. The Packers have two separate weeks of joint practices in training camp — against the Cincinnati Bengals and New England Patriots — giving Love more opportunities to work with a young receiving group that has second-year pros Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs as its most proven options. The biggest question on defense is at safety as the Packers try to identify who will start alongside Darnell Savage, who’s coming off a disappointing 2022 season.
