One day before the kickoff to their 2004 schedule, the Packers took part in a brief walkthrough practice on the grass of Lambeau Field Sunday in preparation for Monday night's game.

The Packers and Seahawks will be the last of the 32 NFL teams to play their first game, and the players are ready to see some new faces on the other side of the ball.

"To get out there against another team is going to feel good," said safety Marques Anderson. "We've had a good week of practice and we're looking forward to showing what we can do against another team.

"I'll be starting tomorrow night, so I'll be focused on making plays and getting better. I feel like camp has been going good. I've been getting better at all the positions I need to get better in, and I'm still working on it."

The Packers will make their preseason debut Monday night against the Seattle Seahawks on national television (ESPN) in the 2004 preseason opener at Lambeau Field. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. (CDT).

The next public practice will be Wednesday when the Packers return to Clarke Hinkle Field an afternoon practice, scheduled to run from 1:45-3:45 p.m. (pads).
