The lights are on. First of August, first night practice at Nitschke Field since 2014. #PackersCamp pic.twitter.com/EcaQ8s3Uta

Tailback James Starks is not practicing tonight. He missed part of yesterday's practice at Lambeau Field but swore it was only for cramps.

Beautiful route and catch by Davante Adams on a touch pass from Rodgers. But Adams fumbled on his way up the sideline.
— Michael Cohen (@Michael_Cohen13) August 2, 2016
Cobb, Hyde, Trevor Davis and Arena League speedster Harvey Binford fielding punts.

Another RB down. Brandon Burks appeared to injure his right knee or ankle during a punt drill. I think he's done for tonight.

Interesting note: We saw Jared Abbrederis take a handoff up the middle during a no-huddle drill. #Packers
— Michael Cohen (@Michael_Cohen13) August 2, 2016
Rodgers doing his thing in no huddle. Hits Cobb on a cross, then catches D with too many men when slow to sub. #PackersCamp

Another really good day for rookie Kenny Clark in 1-on-1 pass rush. His strength and quickness are impressive. #Packers
— Michael Cohen (@Michael_Cohen13) August 2, 2016
#Packers RG T.J. Lang easing his way back into practice. Lane Taylor in his spot during team drills. Caution.
— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) August 2, 2016
At the last second, #Packers CB Sam Shields jumps in front of Randall Cobb to knock down Aaron Rodgers pass in end zone. Nice vert.
— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) August 2, 2016
From a very untrained eye but Kenny Clark does not let you get your hands on him. Very active with his hands, strong at point of attack
— Wes Hodkiewicz (@WesHod) August 1, 2016
WR Geronimo Allison has some soft mitts. He catches everything. He's a big target at 6-3, 202.
— Tom Silverstein (@TomSilverstein) August 1, 2016
#Packers rookie DT Kenny Clark is still undefeated. He goes 4-0 in one-on-ones Monday, now 9-0 in camp. Did not beat any starters tonight.
— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) August 1, 2016
#Packers rookie OT Jason Spriggs lost his first one-on-one of camp against Lerentee McCray. Speed got him. He's still 12-1. Not bad at all.
— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) August 1, 2016
After McCarthy says TE Justin Perillo needs to pick it up he makes a great catch between three defenders and gets a pat from HHCD.

I know the Packers are already loaded at wide receiver but this Geronimo Allison from Illinois is impressive. Keep an eye on him.
— Dennis Krause (@DennisKrause1) August 2, 2016
Rodgers flushed right on 3rd and 1. Heaves across his body deep down the left sideline. Adams catches over Shields. Heck of a throw.
— Michael Cohen (@Michael_Cohen13) August 2, 2016
Hundley lucky he didn't get tripped worse on a handoff that barely got done. Got his feet tangled up and managed skip away unhurt.
— Tom Silverstein (@TomSilverstein) August 2, 2016
Second drop tonight for Abbrederis. Hit him in the gut right across the middle.
— Tom Silverstein (@TomSilverstein) August 2, 2016
Lots of drops tonight. Kennard Backman had Brett Hundley's pass hit hands. Jared Abbrederis, getting lot of 1st-team reps, has dropped 2.
— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) August 2, 2016
Hundley gets another free play with hard count as Fackrell jumps, but can't connect deep with Davis #PackersCamp
— Mike Spofford (@mikespofford) August 2, 2016
Pretty soon Rodgers is going to start looking for Allison. Just hit him on a perfectly timed out route. If he's got a drop I missed it.
— Tom Silverstein (@TomSilverstein) August 2, 2016
A night after Jared Abbrederis clearly outperforms Davante Adams at Packers Family Night, the roles have completely reversed. Go figure.

Rodgers threads one to Rodgers in tight window over middle. TE a little slow to get up #PackersCamp
— Mike Spofford (@mikespofford) August 2, 2016
TE Richard Rodgers hit the ground hard. Comes up limping some. We'll see if he comes back.
— Tom Silverstein (@TomSilverstein) August 2, 2016
Dean Lowry bats a Hundley pass at LOS. That's what a 6-6 end can give you
— Wes Hodkiewicz (@WesHod) August 2, 2016
It's quickly turned into the Davante Adams show at #PackersCamp today... made a nice one-handed grab and a few deep catches over defenders
— Andy McDonnell (@Andy_McDonnell) August 2, 2016
Coach Mike McCarthy met with the media prior to practice tonight.
McCarthy says league has done a good job of educating coaches and players about catch rule. He's aware there's timing element to rule.

"The group's getting off to a good start...I wouldn't say anybody's jumped out." - McCarthy on healthy WR's #Packers
— Jay Sorgi (@jsorgi) August 1, 2016
McCarthy said players will have a chance to go to the Hall of Fame ceremony if they choose to see Favre inducted on Saturday night. #packers
— Tom Silverstein (@TomSilverstein) August 1, 2016
McCarthy on night practices: "It's the best environment for us to practice in." So he and Rodgers agree.
— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) August 1, 2016
"Kenny (Clark), really, has stood out in the individual things we ask our guys to do...off to a good start." - McCarthy #Packers
— Jay Sorgi (@jsorgi) August 1, 2016
#Packers coach Mike McCarthy says FB Aaron Ripkowski is doing well, still learning correct block fits.
— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) August 1, 2016
A few nuggets from quarterback Aaron Rodgers close out today's Field Report.
Rodgers will attend Brett Favre's HOF induction Saturday night. He'll also tour HOF first time. Good thing, since he'll be there one day.
— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) August 1, 2016
#Packers QB Aaron Rodgers loves night practices, says intensity is higher. Smiles. "You might see some scuffles out there tonight."
