Green Bay - The practice injury report was only half bad for the Packers Wednesday.

On the one hand, LB Clay Matthews (hamstring), RB James Starks (knee) and CB Casey Hayward (hamstring) were still out.

On the other hand, TE Jermichael Finley (concussion), FB John Kuhn (hamstring) and CB Jarrett Bush (hamstring) were back at work.

offensive lineman Greg Van Roten did not practice.

Having Bush back is actually kind of a negative.

Zero, you touched on this in another thread, Finley is back, hopefully he doesn't start shying away from going over the middle. He will be a force the rest of the year if he plays like he did the 1st 3 weeks.

Burnett finally being able to take the field, IMHO, is huge, he is the qb of the db's, especially this week, mental mistakes could prove more costly then physical errors.

Jarret Bush being back strengthens special teams play and gives depth to to the defensive backfield.

Hayward just remains a mystery, The Packers hid the severity of his injury well it seems.

All in all, the the situation is looking up for this weeks game.

Really hoping that Matthews being limited is just precaution and to give that hammy more of a rest. So glad Burnett and Finley will be back.

What the hell is going on with Hayward? Weren't they saying he'd be back after 4 weeks (a month)? I'm very curious as to why there is very limited news on this.

Look to see that happen again this year.

Hammy's are so unpredictable, probably would be the best way to handle this.
