GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- Linebacker Nick Barnett, tight end Jermichael Finley and the rest of the Green Bay Packers' injured players will be in the team's Super Bowl photo after all.

A team spokesman says the much-discussed photo has been scheduled for next Friday, a timeline that will allow injured players to take part.

"I'm excited to be part of team photo," Finley said Wednesday in a post on his Twitter account. "Now let's get that ring (in) Dallas!"

The photo originally was expected to happen at Super Bowl media day next Tuesday, causing Barnett and Finley to express disappointment through their Twitter accounts that they weren't going to be included.

Barnett called it "sad," and Finley said it was "not cool," although both players later softened their criticism and said they didn't want to create a distraction.

Injured players are not scheduled to join the team in the Dallas area until next Thursday and will be on the sideline during the Feb. 6 game against Pittsburgh at Cowboys Stadium.

The Packers list 16 players on injured reserve.

Packers defensive lineman Ryan Pickett said he was happy the injured players would get to be part of the photo.

"I definitely would agree with that," Pickett said.

That's good to hear, I don't understand the thinking of not putting them in the photo in the first place.

Glad to hear this. They are all one big family injured or not.

I bet Finley is healthy enough to play. I remember they were keeping him off IR for a while in case we could get him for playoffs.

Mucky Tundra (3-Jun) : @ByRyanWood How much did the injury affect him last fall? “A lot.”

Mucky Tundra (3-Jun) : @ByRyanWood Kenny Clark said he had foot surgery in January. Injured his foot in opener against Eagles and played through it all year.

Zero2Cool (3-Jun) : Golden is wearing guardian cap again. I bet he plays with it on too.

Mucky Tundra (3-Jun) : All the stuff I'm reading from Lions fans are pointing at his toe; he more or less has permanent turf toe in one of his big toes

dfosterf (3-Jun) : Kenny played through it, and a shame he gets little credit for that, imo

dfosterf (3-Jun) : Big men. I hope it's not the undoing of Kenny Clark

Zero2Cool (29-May) : What did you do??

Zero2Cool (29-May) : Whoa

beast (29-May) : OMG the website is now all white, even some white on white text

beast (29-May) : Henderson, who admits to taking cocaine during the Super Bowl against the Steelers, might dislike Bradshaw as he lost two Superbowls to him

wpr (28-May) : Hollywood Henderson said Bradshaw “is so dumb, he couldn't spell 'cat' if you spotted him the C and an A.”

Mucky Tundra (28-May) : Cooper stock=BUY BUY BUY

Mucky Tundra (28-May) : Also notes he’s playing with more confidence.

Mucky Tundra (28-May) : @AndyHermanNFL MLF says there was a time last year where Cooper was at 220 pounds. Now he’s at 240 and still flying around.

Mucky Tundra (28-May) : I got tired of them being circle jerks with them overlaughing at each others jokes.

Zero2Cool (28-May) : It used to be must watch TV for me. now it's "meh" maybe to hear injury update

Mucky Tundra (28-May) : I haven't watched the pregame shows in years and I don't feel like I've missed a thing

Zero2Cool (28-May) : Love says knee affected him all season, groin injury didn't help matters.

Zero2Cool (28-May) : I used to enjoy him on FOX Pregame. Now it's like a frat party of former Patriots.

Zero2Cool (28-May) : LaFleur on Watson: “Christian is doing outstanding. I would say he’s ahead of schedule.”

Martha Careful (28-May) : Bradshaw is a dumb ass cracker. I am so tired of his "aw shucks" diatribe. He should shrivel up and go away.

buckeyepackfan (28-May) : He wad all butt hurt because Aaron duped the media saying he was immunized.

buckeyepackfan (28-May) : Bradshaw needs to retire. He's been ripping on Rodgers ever since the covid crap. He was all hury

Zero2Cool (28-May) : Terry Bradshaw doesn't want Rodgers in Pittsburgh lol wow

Zero2Cool (27-May) : one day contract, which he also feels is pointless, but if Packers came to him, he would
