Packers Total Access: 📋 Packers Training Camp Day 13 UPDATES! Brandon Cisse STARTING! Javon Bullard Walking Boot?

Packers Total Access: 📋 Packers Training Camp Day 13 UPDATES! Brandon Cisse STARTING! Javon Bullard Walking Boot? Day 13 of Green Bay Packers training camp just delivered the most alarming and simultaneously encouraging injury news to come out of Ray Nitschke Field all week — and the Bullard walking boot story that broke this morning has Packers Nation holding its collective breath heading into Thursday's preseason opener against Mike McCarthy's Pittsburgh Steelers! According to ESPN's Rob Demovsky, Packers safety Javon Bullard — the team's starting nickel defender — sported a walking boot on his right foot during Monday's practice and did not participate after dropping out with an injury during Sunday's 11-on-11 period. The Packers have not shared details about Bullard's injury or how long they expect him to remain sidelined, but the walking boot on his right foot suggests he will need to spend at least some time on rehabilitation, potentially even multiple weeks. The silver lining came from Bullard himself — telling the press after practice with the boot off: "If we had a game tomorrow, I'd play" — the most encouraging five-word quote of the entire training camp. Meanwhile the secondary injury wave is compounding by the hour — Josh Jacobs, Matthew Golden, and Jayden Reed were all among the many missing practice on Monday — with the receiver room so depleted that Bo Melton was making impressive long catches as the de facto starter and the Packers' first preseason game against Pittsburgh on Thursday suddenly carrying far more urgency than any tuneup game should. The one undeniable bright light in all of it: on the starting level, Keisean Nixon, Brandon Cisse, and Benjamin St. Juste continue to split first-team reps — and the rookie from South Carolina is not just holding his own, he is making the case that CB2 is already his job to lose. ⁠Heavy Sports + 4⁠ In this complete Day 13 training camp highlights breakdown and Bullard injury reaction, we dive into: Javon Bullard Walking Boot — How Bad Is It Really? Bullard appeared to injure his foot while working with the first-team defense during the 11-on-11 period of Sunday's practice, coming off the field to speak with one of the team trainers and sitting out for the remainder of the session — with his preferred backup in the slot, Johnathan Baldwin, waived with an injury designation the same day to make room for two new receivers the Packers added to the roster. Bullard's replacement in the slot on Day 13 was safety Kitan Oladapo — the team's third slot option in 2025 behind Bullard and the cap-casualty Nate Hobbs — and Oladapo now has the most significant opportunity of his entire professional career to seize a meaningful defensive role heading into the regular season. ⁠Heavy Sports⁠⁠Heavy Sports⁠ Brandon Cisse Is STARTING — The CB2 Job Is His: Rookie cornerback Brandon Cisse appears poised for a Week 1 starting role after a strong camp — and Day 13 delivered the most definitive organizational signal yet, with the Packers opening up first-team reps more broadly as the preseason approaches and Cisse consistently earning those snaps on merit rather than circumstance. Matt LaFleur confirmed starters will play in Thursday's preseason opener against Pittsburgh — meaning Cisse is about to get his first live game action against NFL competition in the most watched tuneup game of the entire 2026 preseason. ⁠Forbes⁠ The Receiver Injury Wave Is Getting Alarming: With Jacobs, Golden, and Reed all missing Monday's practice alongside the ongoing absences of Bullard, Musgrave, Hargrave from team drills, and Valentine's hamstring — the Green Bay Packers injury report is the longest and most alarming of the entire Matt LaFleur era through 13 days of training camp. The encouraging context: Matt LaFleur confirmed starters will play Thursday, citing injury data and the need for a strong regular-season start — meaning the coaching staff has genuine confidence the key players will be ready despite the practice absences. ⁠Forbes⁠⁠Forbes⁠ The Defensive Line Is Coming Together Despite Hargrave: The starting defensive line on Day 13 without Hargrave was Devonte Wyatt — who just recently returned to team drills — Karl Brooks, and Warren Brinson — with SI's Bill Huber noting that possibly no player on the entire roster has taken a bigger camp jump than Brinson. Rookie Chris McClellan had a sack of No. 2 quarterback Tyrod Taylor, Dani Dennis-Sutton forced Jordan Love to throw a pass away, and Evan Williams recorded a sack of Love in team drills — delivering the most complete and encouraging defensive practice of the entire second week of camp despite Hargrave remaining out of team drills. ⁠Yahoo Sports⁠⁠Forbes⁠ What Day 13 Means For Thursday's Preseason Opener: The Packers open preseason at Pittsburgh on Thursday against Mike McCarthy's Steelers — and the injury wave hitting the receiver room, the Bullard foot situation, and the ongoing Hargrave team-drill absence are the three most urgent health questions Brian Gutekunst needs answered before kickoff. LaFleur confirmed starters will play — and Jordan Love's first live game reps of the 2026 season, alongside Brandon Cisse's NFL preseason debut and Trey Smack's first competitive kick in a real game environment, are the three most important individual storylines heading into the most anticipated first preseason game the Green Bay Packers have played since the Jordan Love era began. ⁠Forbes⁠ 📢 SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: Packers Total Access is your #1 source for Green Bay Packers football on YouTube.
