GREEN BAY – The Packers conducted their third non-padded practice of training camp Wednesday at Nitschke Field.

Here are five things we learned:

1. Cornerback Eric Stokes had a very busy day.

The fourth-year corner, who has lost the past season and a half to injuries, was in the middle of a ton of action with the first-team defense.

He broke up a deep ball for Christian Watson, intercepted a pass when a slant was thrown behind Dontayvion Wicks and deflected off him, was flagged for pass interference on another deep ball to Watson that was underthrown, and snagged a second INT with a strong break on the ball as Watson ran a comeback route.

Overall, Stokes called it a "good li'l day" but emphasized he'll be watching the film of the DPI much more closely than his picks. He admitted he needed to turn his head around on the deep ball but everything converged sooner than he thought. He also wasn't happy with a third down near the end of practice when he got beat on a short stop route by Romeo Doubs for a third-and-4 conversion by the offense.

"I did not like that," he said. "I did not like how I did not come out of the break."

The point being, as much as Stokes is enjoying his return to the field after so much time on the sideline – and an offseason spent focusing on injury prevention with his troublesome hamstrings – he's critiquing himself diligently as he battles second-year pro Carrington Valentine for the starting cornerback spot opposite Jaire Alexander.

2. The safeties are starting to stack days.

One day after both Evan Williams and Anthony Johnson Jr. got interceptions in practice, they each got another one. Williams' came on a deep ball down the middle for Wicks, and he played it like a centerfielder. Johnson's was from a deflected, overthrown pass.

The way the reps are being divvied up, Johnson – a second-year pro who played roughly 300 snaps on defense last season as a seventh-round draft pick – appears to be the fourth safety alongside Xavier McKinney and rookies Javon Bullard and Williams. But he's keeping himself right in the mix.

He likes the opportunities the new defense provides to switch between playing deep and in the box. He also appreciates how the coaches continue mixing the pairings in the back end so all the safeties grow accustomed to one another.

"I get to communicate with Bull, get to communicate with Evan, get to communicate with X … because no matter who's out there or what it comes to, everyone has to be on one accord," Johnson said. "The one thing you don't want to do is have two people go together all camp, and then something happens.

"In this defense, the safeties are like the quarterbacks running it. We all have to communicate fluently with each other."

3. Receiver Jayden Reed is back in action.

The second-year pass catcher missed the first two practices of camp with a toe injury but was back on Wednesday, albeit in a limited fashion and not taking any 11-on-11 snaps just yet.

If it's up to him, it won't be long for him to clear that hurdle either.

"In my mind, I'm ready to go," he said. "Just taking precautions and taking it slow."

4. The offensive line continues to adjust.

With Zach Tom still limited in his return from injury and not taking part in any 11-on-11 reps, the coaches inserted Kadeem Telfort in at right tackle with the No. 1 offensive line in place of veteran Andre Dillard.

Undrafted a year ago, Telfort is a massive (6-7, 322) prospect who spent his rookie season on the practice squad. The move up the depth chart provides him an opportunity to work with the first unit in an effort to land a spot on the 53-man roster, perhaps as a swing tackle. He has also taken snaps at left tackle with the second unit.

"It was a bit challenging, but it was also a learning experience," Telfort said of running with the ones. "It means a lot. I'm somewhat getting noticed now. Just taking advantage and taking it day by day."

Dillard, a former first-round pick working to get his career back on track, had a rough practice Tuesday as the starting right tackle trying to block Rashan Gary. He took most of his reps Wednesday as the No. 2 left tackle.

On the interior, Elgton Jenkins took a veteran rest day, which made the starting guards Sean Rhyan on the left side and rookie first-round pick Jordan Morgan on the right side. Thus far in camp, they appear to be competing for the starting right guard spot.

5. The kickers continue to compete daily.

James Turner kicked Monday, then Anders Carlson and Greg Joseph did so Tuesday. So Wednesday it was Turner's chance again, and statistically he performed similarly to before – 4-of-6 on field goals, missing his first and last attempts.
