The Seattle Seahawks will take part in joint practices with the Green Bay Packers in August, according to a report from The Athletic\u2019s Matt Schneidman<\/a> on Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n

Why former GM is \u2018big fan\u2019 of Seahawks\u2019 QB approach<\/a><\/p>\n

Schneidman reported that the Seahawks-Packers joint practices will take place ahead of the their Aug. 23 preseason game against each other at Lambeau Field, which is the third and final preseason contest for both teams.<\/p>\n

This marks the second straight year the Seahawks will have participated in a joint practice under head coach Mike Macdonald, who took over in January 2024. Last year, they held a pair of joint practices with the Tennessee Titans<\/a> in Nashville ahead of the teams\u2019 preseason matchup. That was Seattle\u2019s first joint practice against another team since 1991, when the Seahawks hosted the Atlanta Falcons for a scrimmage in Portland<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Last year, Seahawks color commentator and former NFL linebacker Dave Wyman made the trip to Nashville for the joint practices. He came away very impressed and explained how the two practices may have been even more valuable than a preseason game.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll bet if you ask the coaches, they say that this is better, because you can control it,\u201d Wyman said last August<\/a> on Seattle Sports\u2019 Wyman and Bob. \u201cYou can go to the other coach and say, \u2018Hey, do you mind if we extend this period?\u2019 \u2026 Once a game starts, it takes off and goes its own direction. And these are an opportunity to work on specific things. It could not be a better, more useful tool for Mike Macdonald.\u201d<\/p>\n

Seahawks general manager John Schneider is a native of De Pere, Wis., and has strong ties to the Packers\u2019 organization, having spent four years as a scout for Green Bay in the 1990s and eight years in the Packers\u2019 front office in the 2000s.<\/p>\n

The Seahawks open their preseason slate with home games against Pete Carroll\u2019s Las Vegas Raiders on Aug. 7 and the Kansas City Chiefs on Aug. 15 before traveling to Wisconsin.<\/p>\n
