This weekend was one of celebration for Green Bay Packers fans. Family Night on Saturday was the mark on the calendar signifying that football has finally arrived in Wisconsin, while former GM Ron Wolf was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Between those two events, there is plenty of news to be absorbed, and we have some other items as well including real football being played on Sunday and the passing of an NFL icon.
Today, the Packers will resume their training camp practices with a session starting at 12:15 PM at Ray Nitschke Field. As usual, APC will be ready with updates and news from practice this afternoon.

Packers come out unscathed from Family Night | Packersnews.com
Letroy Guion's hamstring injury was the only minor issue to a starter. Also, the punting competition looks pretty well in hand, as Tim Masthay averaged six yards more per punt on Saturday than Cody Mandell and has been much more successful and consistent as a holder on place-kicks.
