Morning Buzz: Packers getting healthier

Welcome to your Morning Buzz, rounding up news and views regarding the Green Bay Packers from around the web and here at PackersNews.com.

After a one hour and 50 minute practice Sunday, the Packers are back on Ray Nitschke Field this morning at 11:45.

We’ll start with Ryan Wood’s look at the promising camp being put together by young outside linebacker Reggie Gilbert.

From Ryan:

Through one exhibition, Gilbert has emerged atop the group of young outside linebacker vying to be the Packers' third edge rusher this fall. On the same day McCarthy foreshadowed a shakeup on the depth chart following his team’s preseason opener against Tennessee, Gilbert got first-team reps ahead of Kyler Fackrell.

There’s a long way to go until the Packers host the Chicago Bears for their regular-season opener, but Gilbert can start thinking about more than just making the team. He’s in position to be a significant contributor this fall.

Just don’t tell him that.

“I thought I made the team last year,” Gilbert said, “and in prior years. You know what I mean? I try not to worry about what the final roster is going to be.”

Those worries aside, Gilbert showed Thursday night why he has earned a promotion. Early in the second quarter, he took over a defensive series. With the Titans inside the red zone, Gilbert had a pair of tackles. Then he forced a third-and-goal while pursuing Titans quarterback Blaine Gabbert outside the pocket.

His quarterback hit was one of four the Packers had all night.
