Aaron Rodgers never liked the idea of joint practices, and his distaste for them was realized when the Green Bay Packers practiced with the Houston Texans over the weekend – the franchise's first such day of training camp in 14 years.

The Packers' franchise quarterback let his frustration be known in the wake of a heated session with the Texans, not only decrying first-year coach Matt LaFleu's decision to engage in a joint practice, but also highlighting the injury risk players face as a result of special teams drills.

“I wouldn't mind if they didn't do it for another 14 years, but I think if we…You know, look, that's out of my control. I think the key for all of us here is how important training camp is to not only our fans, but our local businesses. So, unless we're going to California, I'd kinda be bummed out if we had to go to another city,” Rodgers said, per Olivia Reiner of Packers News.

“You bring a team in – I understand the point of it. I don't think live special teams drills are very smart. I think the [Players' Association] is gonna look at that for sure. I don't think it's…kickoff especially is one of the most dangerous plays in football. That's why they've tweaked different things over the years. To do a close to a live kickoff drill I don't think is the best use for inter-squad practices like that.”

Green Bay and Houston came to blows on the practice field after Texans cornerback Lonnie Johnson Jr. laid out Jace Sternberger, causing the Packers' first-year tight end to lose his helmet. The practice was supposed to be non-tackling. Green Bay took exception to the rookie's hit en masse, continuing to express displeasure with Johnson after the practice was over.

Packers guard Billy Turner had a message for him before Tuesday's practice against the Texans, too, warning Johnson to “keep your head on a swivel,” per Yahoo's Jason Owens.
