Receiver Donald Driver (quadriceps) took his first practice reps of the week today during the jog-through portion of practice, a sign that he will indeed play Sunday against Minnesota.

Linebacker Clay Matthews (hamstring) and defensive end Ryan Pickett (ankle) continued to increase their practice involvement and appear on track to return after missing last weeks loss to Miami.

Those who didnt practice were: cornerback Charles Woodson, linebacker Brady Poppinga (knee), guard Marshall Newhouse (back) and defensive end Mike Neal (shoulder). It was unclear whether Woodson was out because of his toe injury or was still dealing with a personal matter that caused him to miss practice yesterday.

The three PUP players Atari Bigby, Al Harris and James Starks continued to get work in practice. A decision will be made most likely tomorrow on whether to activate any of them this week.

Well have the full injury report and comments from coach Mike McCarthy after practice ends around 12:30 p.m.

UPDATE (12:45 p.m.): Heres the official injury report:

Brandon Chillar, LB Shoulder Full Participation Probable

Chad Clifton, T Knee Did Not Participate Probable

Nick Collins, S Knee Full Participation Probable

Donald Driver, WR Quadricep Limited Participation Probable

A.J. Hawk, LB Groin Limited Participation Probable

Cullen Jenkins, DE Hand Full Participation Probable

Clay Matthews, LB Hamstring Full Participation Probable

Mike Neal, DE Shoulder Did Not Participate Out

Marshall Newhouse, G/T Back Did Not Participate Doubtful

Ryan Pickett, DE/NT Ankle Limited Participation Questionable

Brady Poppinga, LB Knee Did Not Participate Out

Mark Tauscher, T Shoulder Limited Participation Questionable

Charles Woodson, CB Toe Did Not Participate Probable

McCarthy: I fully expect Woodson to play. He missed because of a (positive) personnel matter.

on Matthews: Feel good, did more today than yesterday, barring any setback hell be ready to.

Really dont have enough information on Ryan (Pickett).

limit Matthews to sub package: Good question, well talk about those things. That was an option we were shooting for last week

Chillar sounded encouraged: He put together a good week, did some padded work after practice.

Harris, Bigby: I think Al and Atari, what was nice about their week, they looked more comfortable as the week went on. Whether they play or not, that will be determined.

I'm guessing here. But I imagine they'll be limiting his reps. So I'm guessing passing downs where he'll be blitzing (where we need him the most).

What do they mean by limiting Clay to sub packages?

"go.pack.go." wrote:



Clay is our starting OLB, so that means he is involved in every 3-4 package we have. For the sake of roughly separating the defenses, we have a base 3-4 (3 DL, 4 LBs), we have a Nickel sub-package (1 extra DB in place of 1 DL or 1 LB) and a Dime sub-package (2 DBs in place of our base 3-4 personnel).

Using defensive sub-packages means that there is a really good chance that the opposing offense will be running a pass-play. Hence, it becomes of greater importance to generate a pass-rush, which Clay excels at.

So, by limiting Clay to sub packages, the Packers will play him a lesser number of snaps than they normally would otherwise. Seeing as teams play their sub packages for most of the games these days, Clay is still likely to play in most of the game as long as he has no injuries. He just will not be used as much to try and stop the run.

Yeah I understand what a subpackage is. I guess what I meant to ask was why would we only use him there?

I guess that's so we don't risk further injury to his hammy?

I imagine so.

Remember how he pulled it last time? He kept cramping up near the end of the game. He plays with a ton of energy and with they way we're getting outgained 20/40 in time of possesion, you just can't keep that up.

beast (10h) : 6 days
wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb
wpr (9-Apr) : yay
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland
Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'
Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.
