GREEN BAY, Wis. — Green Bay Packers rookie kicker Trey Smack was unlucky that a planned in-stadium promotion came after his fifth kick of the night.Smack had just hooked a field goal attempt wide left from 51 yards when public address announcer Bill Jartz asked fans at Lambeau Field an ill-timed question.“You think YOU can kick a field goal?”A kid then chipped in a 20-yarder, but no, he’s not taking Smack’s job.Smack actually had perhaps his best day of training camp. Entering Family Night 8-for-13 on live field goals this summer, the 2026 sixth-round pick went 6-of-7 on Friday night. He was good from 33, 35, 38, 43, 45, and 47 yards, but missed his longest attempt.Head coach Matt LaFleur and general manager Brian Gutekunst have stressed patience with Smack as he navigates the inevitable roller coaster rookie kickers ride. Still, Friday night can be considered a peak after a rocky start to camp.“Definitely built a little bit of confidence up tonight,” Smack said. “But we can always kick better.”Tucker Kraft back in action at Packers training campJourdan Rodrigue and Rachael TindeHere are nine other observations from practice No. 8 of camp.1. Wide receiver Christian Watson and rookie second-round cornerback Brandon Cisse had a couple of competitive battles during one-on-ones. Watson beat Cisse on a slant before making a catch on the first rep, and Cisse broke up a slant for Watson on their second. After that one, Watson dapped up Cisse to show his respect.“I’m just really impressed with his confidence,” Watson said after the practice, later adding, “He doesn’t look like he’s panicking when he’s going up against the first group.”Cisse has been running with the first string as cornerback Carrington Valentine nurses a hamstring injury, which isn’t considered long-term, according to LaFleur.On their third rep, Cisse stuck with Watson in the end zone before the veteran wiggled free, but then couldn’t corral a Jordan Love pass that zipped between his hands. On the first play of the next team period, Watson made a nice catch from Love on the sideline with Cisse in tight coverage.“Try to go against the best of the best and hold your own, and that’s what I’m trying to do every day,” Cisse said. “I’ve still got a long way to go.”Christian Watson, completing a catch at training camp earlier this summer, has developed a strong rapport with Jordan Love.

Second-year wideout Matthew Golden made mincemeat of cornerback Keisean Nixon during their three one-on-one battles, once on an in-breaking route over the middle, once on a sluggo-type route deep for another catch on an underthrown ball by Love and once on an end zone fade when Golden deftly tapped both feet on green grass for six.“In practice, he pushes me and I push him,” Golden said. “For us, I feel like the competition we’ve got between each other is good, and I feel like overall, I’m getting better from practicing against him.”
