Tuesday Cheese Curds: Packers OTAs are underway

The band is back together in Green Bay.

The Green Bay Packers kicked off organized team activities (OTAs) on Monday, marking the first time the full version of the 2018 team is under one roof.

After an offseason that saw the most change in Green Bay in several years, anticipation is high to see what shape the team will be in. With a new general manager and defensive coordinator and completely revamped offensive playbook, there will be more learning going on at 1265 Lombardi than at any time since head coach Mike McCarthy’s first season in 2006.

While you can’t take too much away from

OTAs, they will give a sneak peek into various position battles that will fully commence once training camp starts plus the first full look at the rookie class.

The start of OTAs marks just the first step in the marathon that is the NFL season, but the boys are back in town which means the start of the season is that much closer.

More on OTAs plus a cool rookie orientation idea in today’s cheese curds.
