If you are following the Green Bay Packers, here is the scoop as they head into camp.

Players report July 31 to the team’s facilities in Green Bay. Camp opens Aug. 1. An intrasquad scrimmage will be held at Lambeau Field on Saturday night, Aug. 8. The team has seven two-a-days scheduled in the first 20 days of camp, which will close Sept. 1.

There will be a fresh start for the Packers since they fired nearly all of the defensive coaching staff and brought in Dom Capers to engineer a switch from a 4-3 alignment to a 3-4 scheme.

The Packers have the ingredients for a good offense, but will need their defense to come together quickly if they hope to contend in a division that has been bolstered by the arrival of Jay Cutler in Chicago, Matthew Stafford in Detroit and, perhaps, Brett Favre in Minnesota.
