Today's practice - exactly one week before the Hall of Fame game against the Colts - featured another round of punting, drops from wide receivers, and an aggressive two minute drill.

#Packers OLB Jayrone Elliott has been getting first-team reps pretty early on the edge through camp's opening days. Something to watch.

#Packers P Tim Masthay avg: 41.75 yards, 4.6 hang.
— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) August 1, 2016
Peter Mortell avg: 30.5, 3.79.
Going back to Saturday, Mortell has shanked 4 straight.
Updated punt averages for #Packers practice tonight:
— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) August 1, 2016
Masthay: 40.5 yards, 4.42 hang.
Mortell: 39.6, 4.04.
Nice bounce back for Mortell.
Thought both Lacy & Crockett ran hard during half-lines. Saw Daniels and Matthews blow up plays on D. #FamilyNight

#Packers WR Jared Abbrederis catches an Aaron Rodgers pass he tips to himself. Trying to build off tremendous first week of camp so far.
— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) August 1, 2016
I kind of like Geronimo Allison, the UDFA from Illinois. Really good build for a receiver and he's made some nice grabs in camp. #Packers
— Michael Cohen (@Michael_Cohen13) August 1, 2016
#Packers WR Davante Adams opens team drills with a nice catch of Aaron Rodgers' pass, beating ILB Jake Ryan deep.
— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) August 1, 2016
Second practice in a row where Blake Martinez has blown up a screen pass to James Starks. Good recognition from the rookie. #Packers
— Michael Cohen (@Michael_Cohen13) August 1, 2016
Robertson Daniel, who has had good start to camp, getting some first-team reps on perimeter in nickel defense.
— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) August 1, 2016
#Packers WR Jeff Janis takes a hard shot from Quinten Rollins, but hangs on to Aaron Rodgers' pass deep over the middle. #trustbuilding
— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) August 1, 2016
Trevor Davis with what looked like a pretty bad drop. Has struggled since the pads came on. #PackersFamilyNight
— Jason B. Hirschhorn (@by_JBH) August 1, 2016
The reviews of Don Barclay have been good but he's struggling at center tonight. Rookie Brian Price beat him on a run and Guion did so too
— Rob Demovsky (@RobDemovsky) August 1, 2016
#Packers QB Brett Hundley late to recognize wide-open TE Mitchell Henry deep, then underthrows him. Henry beat Kentrell Brice deep.

LaDarius Gunter has been getting plenty of reps in nickel for the #Packers during camp. He lines up outside, bumps Randall/Rollins inside.
— Michael Cohen (@Michael_Cohen13) August 1, 2016
Davante Adams has made two nice catches this evening #Packers
— Lance Allan (@lanceallan) August 1, 2016
Not a great night for #Packers vet OL Don Barclay at center so far. Rookie Brian Price and vet Letroy Guion have gotten the best of him.
— Jason Wilde (@jasonjwilde) August 1, 2016
#Packers safety Morgan Burnett once again getting nickel LB reps, replacing Jake Ryan. Interesting package. Lots of speed/coverage on field.
— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) August 1, 2016
Playing Morgan Burnett as a nickel linebacker, also allows GB to get Hyde in at S, a position I think he plays better than CB. #Packers
— Brennen Rupp (@brennen_james) August 1, 2016
Some trickeration from #Packers offense: Jeff Janis on an end-around toss.
— Jason Wilde (@jasonjwilde) August 1, 2016
#Packers playing Christian Ringo at 5-tech DE, behind Letroy Guion, in base D. Thought to be more of an interior guy, more versatility.
— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) August 1, 2016
Nice counter toss to Jeff Janis. Rodgers faked to Starks and Janis took it as a ball carrier to the left for a big gain.
— Rob Demovsky (@RobDemovsky) August 1, 2016
Packers' shoulder tackling is in midseason form as Justin Perillo just got like 20 yards YAC.
— Brooks (@EBrooksUncut) August 1, 2016
Better practice for OL Matt Rotheram. He had a tough start to camp, especially in 1-on-1s, but he's made some nice blocks tonight.
— Michael Cohen (@Michael_Cohen13) August 1, 2016
Jason Spriggs moves really well. Still needs to work on how he engages pass rushers though. #PackersFamilyNight
— Jason B. Hirschhorn (@by_JBH) August 1, 2016
#Packers QB Brett Hundley placed perfect pass to Davante Adams, who had Robertson Daniel beat, but ruled incomplete down right side.
— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) August 1, 2016
Datone Jones with a nice inside move to get in front of his former UCLA teammate Brett Hundley's face.
— Wes Hodkiewicz (@WesHod) August 1, 2016
That's two drops for Trevor Davis tonight. #PackersFamilyNight
— Jason B. Hirschhorn (@by_JBH) August 1, 2016
OLB Lerentee McCray has a strong bull rush. He sprints full speed at the tackle and has pushed guys back a few times in camp. #Packers
— Michael Cohen (@Michael_Cohen13) August 1, 2016
Davante Adams, who dropped a pass earlier in 2-minute drill, drops another Aaron Rodgers pass in end zone. Rough camp so far.
— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) August 1, 2016
Randall Cobb okey-dokes LaDarius Gunter for a short touchdown catch in #Packers 2-minute drill. And, yes, he leaps into the stands.
— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) August 1, 2016
Morgan Burnett blocks Mason Crosby's field goal attempt. He's having a notable camp. #PackersFamilyNight
— Jason B. Hirschhorn (@by_JBH) August 1, 2016
Morgan Burnett blocks Mason Crosby's 41-yard kick, one of two misses. Did make a 54, 51 and 49 yarder. He's now 19-21 in camp. That'll work.
— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) August 1, 2016
There was plenty of activity off the field. Fans from around the country descended upon Lambeau tonight.
Not a bad spot for a little catch with my son. @packers #PackersFamilyNight #GoPackGo pic.twitter.com/viHCBQmV32
