Sleeper Packers Podcast
Keisean Nixon is not guaranteed a starting job. That’s the message coming out of Green Bay’s defensive coaching staff — an extraordinary admission about a player who made the Pro Bowl just one season ago. Secondary coach Bobby Babich said bluntly that “we have a corner competition,” and compared to how coaches talked about Nixon, the praise for rookie Brandon Cisse and veteran Benjamin St-Juste was noticeably warmer. Meanwhile, the Packers’ offensive line is still searching for its best five — Aaron Banks’ knee has kept him limited to individual drills, the preferred starting five has yet to get 11-on-11 snaps together, and rookie Jager Burton has played well enough that LaFleur says he’s making the left guard job “extremely difficult” for Banks to reclaim. We’re going LIVE to break down both storylines in full.

Keisean Nixon on the ropes — spending time with the backup defense this week, getting beaten for a 25-yard catch-and-run in the preseason opener against Pittsburgh, and officially listed as no better than a coin flip for the CB1 job he’s held since 2022
Brandon Cisse’s case to start Week 1 fully laid out — outstanding throughout training camp, drawing effusive praise from the defensive coaching staff, and now looking like the frontrunner to open the season as the No. 1 right cornerback
The shifting cornerback depth chart explained — Nixon and Cisse currently running with the first-team defense, with St-Juste working with the second-stringers after both Cisse and St-Juste displaced Nixon entirely for one practice earlier this week
Carrington Valentine’s return from injury and what she needs to do in the preseason to hold onto any starting role
The Packers’ offensive line mess fully broken down — Banks limited to individual drills, Zach Bako-Bewele slowly integrating back in, and Jacob Monk potentially usurping Anthony Belton at right guard while Burton makes a serious push at left guard
The most intriguing reshuffled starting five yet — Morgan at left tackle, Burton at left guard, Rhyan at center, Monk at right guard, and Belton kicking out to right tackle — and what it tells us about how the coaching staff actually views this group
Lukas Van Ness playing only three snaps but earning two “wins” from Jonathan Gannon — one against the run and one for a sack, and what Gannon said about his overall camp
Trey Smack’s kicking competition update — now 20-for-28 on the summer, going 4-of-5 in his most recent field goal period, and trending toward locking down the job heading into the preseason

We are breaking all of it down live.
