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.

beast (28m) : Thanks dfosterf, I'm still kicking myself for last week, as I forgot to change to pick Vikings and Lions... after putting in a holding spot.

Zero2Cool (1h) : First alternate: Elgton Jenkins Other alternates: Jordan Love, Kenny Clark, Keisean Nixon, Tucker Kraft, Josh Myers, Jaire Alexander

Zero2Cool (1h) : Pro Bowl still a thing? Guess Packers have three. Jacobs, Gary, McKinney.

dfosterf (2h) : It's a mine field with all the players sitting, etc

dfosterf (2h) : There was quite a bit of "chalk" matchups this year it seemed, but not this week coming up

Zero2Cool (2h) : Or we got better and by we I mean everyone except me

Zero2Cool (2h) : We have about six that by percent would have won nearly any season. I guess 2024 was predictable 🤷

Zero2Cool (2h) : You can check previous seasons. I quick did it and don't think anyone hit 70% before

dfosterf (2h) : Hats off to the Beast

dfosterf (2h) : I'm at 71.76% in pick 'em. 2nd place. Beast is at a flat 75% 9 games ahead. That 75% has got to be unprecedented this late in the season

beast (3h) : I don't care deeply, just want some good entertaining games

Zero2Cool (3h) : BTW, not serious.

Zero2Cool (3h) : You don't care about it either!!!!

Zero2Cool (3h) : NIL and Portal killed college, no one cares about it.

Mucky Tundra (8h) : outside of Texas-Arizona St, it's been a snoozefest

beast (12h) : I expect Georgia will change that tomorrow, but we'll have to wait and see. If they do, then only Big 10 and SEC are left.

beast (12h) : So much for Conference Championship meaning something as 100% (so far) of the conference Champions lost their first playoff game.

Zero2Cool (20h) : Jaire had surgery, season over.

Mucky Tundra (20h) : I guess I need a new sig Pic. Boo

Mucky Tundra (20h) : Eric Dickerson approves of this decision

beast (22h) : Eagles are resting RB Saquon Barkley, so there is no chance he breaks the record despite being just 101 yards from it

Zero2Cool (23h) : Patriots are waiving veteran pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue

beast (1-Jan) : Happy New Year's 🥳🎉

beast (31-Dec) : I want to them chant some songs for Daniel Whelan

beast (31-Dec) : Let's win one! Also, hopefully the Irish will stand with Daniel Whelan

Mucky Tundra (31-Dec) : After London and Brazil, I could go without an overseas game for a while

Zero2Cool (31-Dec) : Packers. Steelers. Ireland. 2025. Reports say.

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Matt Lafleur on if Jaire will play again this season. "Yeah I don't know... he's been dealing with swelling."

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : After the way they played for most of the game yesterday, I don't see how you can sit anyone for the whole game

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : I'd say play everyone. Going into playoffs at 7th seed on two game lose streak - yucky

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Do the Packers have any best players?

beast (30-Dec) : Play or Rest*

beast (30-Dec) : Should the Packers play or free their best players vs the Bears?

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Packers should be 3 - 2 in the Division. Bonkers being swept by both Lions and Vikings. yikes

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : All crazy stuff…and good point beast

beast (30-Dec) : Packers should be 0-5 in the division, can't say I saw that coming, even 1-4

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Sam Darnold 35 TD's ... another one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Baker Mayfield, 39 TD's ... can't say I saw that one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : No matter who is playing as 7th, I think we want them to win. Get rid of 2nd seed haha

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : That would be dhazer who was rooting for Minnesota

beast (30-Dec) : Well, Commanders are currently the 6th seed and Packers the 7th

beast (30-Dec) : Who was it in Chat, that wanted the Vikings to win (because Lions fans upset them) because Packers could not lose the 6th seed?

beast (30-Dec) : If Falcons win, Packers stay as the 6th seed and Falcons lead the NFCS, if they lose, Commanders 6th and Bucs take NFCS lead

beast (30-Dec) : Win or Loss, the NFCS is going down to week 18

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : if the Falcons win, how does that affect the overall NFC playoff picture? Does it mean that the NFC South comes down to week 18?

beast (30-Dec) : If Commanders win, the Packers drop to the 7th seed

beast (29-Dec) : Taylor still at it!

beast (29-Dec) : Colts get the ball and fumble turn over

packerfanoutwest (29-Dec) : Jets pull Aaron Rodgers for Tyrod Taylor

Mucky Tundra (29-Dec) : Colts-Giants now a tight one
