we could still see them on sunday. I'm sure they'll take a couple days off, then test them again on saturday or sunday.

Green Bay -- Not much changed with a day off:
* DL B.J. Raji (left ankle), CB Will Blackmon (right quad) and RB Brandon Jackson (left ankle) all sat out the portion of practice open to the media.
* Of the three, Blackmon appeared to be the most active as he jumped and jogged around a bit.
* Beyond that, the media is prohibited from reporting on anything that has to do with scheme and/or game-planning.
Now, all three players could practice on Thursday, but if they aren't going after five days of rest after a Thursday game, it's not a great sign.That leads to which players will be taking their places.
The Packers are really short at nose tackle, a crucial position in the 3-4 defense, behind Ryan Pickett. You would think Johnny Jolly would get a few more reps inside since he's the only other true tackle on the roster -- albeit a 4-3 tackle. And Jarius Wynn would get more playing time, likely at end. That would allow Jolly to move inside. The Packers could just play a lot of nickel.
As far as kick returns, Jordy Nelson would likely get first shot at both, with perhaps Charles Woodson mixing in on some. Tramon Williams would be an option. Possibly Brett Swain.
And with Jackson out, DeShawn Wynn would get a bulk of the work on third downs and behind Ryan Grant. It would also increase the chances all three fullbacks would be active. John Kuhn would be the emergency/short yardage back.
BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.
