The Packers were back at it on Ray Nitschke Field this afternoon for a 2 hour, 16 minute workout in some beautifully mild weather. Nice breeze. Mid-to-upper 70s. Partly cloudy.

Lets hit the highlights

A little chippy: Coach Mike McCarthy was not a happy camper with some of the early moments in practice. More profanity being thrown around than usual. Things got really loud after a couple miscues by rookie RB Quinn Porter. First, he didnt take the field with the No. 2 kickoff team like he was supposed to. Porter then dropped a kickoff moments later, throwing off the kickoff coverage rep.

I dont design that, McCarthy said about his vocal frustrations. Practice, there is an accomplishment, a level of practice that you try to have every day. When we dont reach that, its my responsibility to get it out of them. This is a tough practice. Year in and year out this is always a padded practice 48 hours after a game. This is a tough practice on our football team, so it was important to get the quality work out of our team today. I think we accomplished that. Well look at the film, but we werent as sharp as we needed to be when we started practice today.

No change:
Daryn Colledge and Bryan Bulaga continue to split first-team reps at left guard. Bulaga is also taking the No. 2 snaps at left tackle. So, basically, nothing has changed there after the first exhibition game. McCarthy said he has no time frame on making a decision.

I dont have a deadline, but really just the progress that Bryan makes and how Daryn continues to go through camp will answer that question. I know everybody would like to have the starting line by the third game, but well just see how it goes.

Injury update: RB Ryan Grant sat out today after sustaining a concussion during the exhibition game. McCarthy said he hopes to have Grant back Tuesday. No. 3 back Kregg Lumpkin was also out after tweaking his hamstring Saturday. That left Brandon Jackson and Quinn Porter running the ball today. Actually, fullback John Kuhn got in the mix with the numbers issue. Remember, sixth-round draft pick James Starks hasnt practiced yet because of a hamstring. (And you can tell McCarthy is growing impatient)

McCarthy said hes comfortable with the depth at running back and has no issues with Jackson being the No. 1 back, if necessary.

(The Blog is not as confident)

WR Tom Crabtree is still out with a hand injury and McCarthy said head trainer Pepper Burruss called it a wrist sprain. But Crabtree was scheduled to see the doctors again after practice and possibly be fitted for a cast.

C/G Evan Dietrich-Smith was also new to the sidelines with a neck sprain.

Besides that, it was the usual cast: S Atari Bigby, S Will Blackmon, CB Al Harris, RB James Starks, LB Alex Joseph, LB Clay Matthews, LB Nick Barnett (who did participate in some walk-through periods), LB Cyril Obiozor and G/C Jason Spitz.

Closing out: LB Frank Zombo wrapped up practice with back-to-back sacks of Matt Flynn during the final period. The No. 2 offense had 3rd and goal from the 9-yard line with time running out when Zombo recorded the first sack. The offense hurried up for one last snap on 4th and goal from the 11-yard line and Zombo got to Flynn again. Great coverage on the last play and Zombo kept working to get there.

Good work: Mason Crosby was 6 for 7 on field goals. Made from 28, 30, 36, 40, 43, 45. Missed left from 33. Chris Bryan held on the first four (28, 30, 33 and 36). Tim Masthay held on the last three.

Short period: Just four punts today. Bryan went first with a 56-yarder and a 41-yarder. Masthay hit a 54-yarder and a 65-yarder for touchback.

Cause and effect: The Packers fumbled the ball four times against Cleveland on Saturday, losing two to the Browns. Every practice the team has a ball-security period, but its usually broken up between positions with the lineman working on something else. Monday, the entire team was pulled together for the session and there was an emphasis and urgency to the drill that was a little more intense than normal.

Up next: Tuesday is a scheduled workout with the team practicing at 8:45 a.m. and 6:30 p.m

Lumpkin tweaking a hammy is not good. He already has a long injury history. He will be in trouble if this keeps him out of practice for a long time.

Back-to-back sacks by Zombo is good. He also had at least one good play against the Browns. He may sneak onto the roster.

Lumpkin had the hamstring before the game started, but said he had to get something on tape so he played through it.

I'm gonna join you in going way out on that limb, and say that I also think that getting back to back sacks is good.

Oh boy. I'm not comfortable with Grant on the sidelines. I doubt MM is either, but he doesn't want to say that.

after seeing our LBers play its really good to hear zombo tearing it up. He looked decent also on the field vs the browns. I admit jones looked decent also but the rest I wasnt really impressed with.

Im not sure how many OLBers we will keep but wouldnt mind matthews, jones, pop and zombo - dont remember how obiazor (spelling) was last year.
Chillar really didnt do jack at OLBer.

Obiozor was the hot young player last year, but this year he's been nicked up and hasn't impressed anybody when he's played. Zombo seems to have taken his place.

Chillar did make one good play in the Browns game, stepping back from the line of scrimmage to deflect a pass. I think it was a game where the action just didn't go his way much, so I'm hoping he makes more plays in the next game.

Agreed, we need at least one of the undrafted free agents to step up, Zombo appears to have the lead at the moment.

Quick thing on the subject of abbreviating linebacker, I think LB does the job. I used to write OLBer all the time but there's really no need. And for the plural just write LBs and save yourself typing extra letters.

Kregg Lumpkin was also out after tweaking his hamstring Saturday.
