Packers Plan Late-August Joint Practice With Cardinals, Pitting LaFleur Brothers on Opposing Sides

The session is pending NFL approval as first-year Cardinals coach Mike LaFleur maps out his inaugural preseason.

Overview

  • ESPN’s Rob Demovsky reported Green Bay intends to host Arizona for joint work before their Week 3 preseason game, subject to league sign-off.
  • The Cardinals are expected to be in Green Bay the week of August 29 for the practices.
  • The sessions would count toward the maximum of four joint practices permitted for each team in the preseason.
  • Mike LaFleur begins his first NFL head-coaching season, creating a rare head-to-head with Packers coach Matt LaFleur.
  • Arizona’s preseason also includes the August 6 Hall of Fame Game against the Panthers, and unless they meet in the playoffs this could be the brothers’ only on-field meeting in 2026.
