Larger segment of dialog than his twitter accounts.. ;)

Read All...

GREEN BAY - Mike McCarthy sounded cautious about the situation.

B.J. Raji was much more definitive.

"I'll be playing Sunday," the Green Bay Packers' first-round pick said.

Raji, the stout defensive lineman from Boston College whom the Packers grabbed with the ninth overall pick in April's NFL draft, practiced Thursday morning for the first time since spraining his left ankle in Green Bay's final preseason game Sept. 3 at Tennessee.

He was listed as having limited participation on the team's injury report.

"It's all right. It's football," he said. "The great thing about it is it's not injured. So I just have to play through the soreness and through the pain."

Raji said he'd learned more about the Packers-Bears rivalry during the week. He's eager to get a first-hand lesson Sunday night.

"My theory, I don't like missing any games for whatever reason," said Raji, who - if he's able to play - will likely see time at left end behind Johnny Jolly and nose tackle behind Ryan Pickett. "Rivalry game, the first game of the year, of course you don't want to miss that."

"The oranges are dry; the apples are mealy; and the papayas... I don't know what's going on with the papayas!"

I don't think that Justin has real motivational problems. His body just doesn't hold up.

I'm happy with the way that Raji has been approaching his injuries and taken advantage of his playing time. One of the knocks on him was that he would take plays off and not motivated enough at all times. Love that he's proving people wrong so far.

I hope he doesn't push the envelope for no reason, if he isn't 100% there is no reason to rush back on the field. He doesn't want this injury to linger for the entire year.

Practice notes: Raji practices again
The big test for rookie defensive lineman B.J. Raji was going to be how he felt today after practicing for the first time on Thursday.

His ankle must have responded OK because he was back on the field this morning, going through at least the portion of practice that was open to reporters. It was the final workout before Sunday's season opener against the Chicago Bears.

Raji sprained his ankle in the preseason finale against Tennessee nine days ago.

Cornerback/kick returner Will Blackmon also appeared to be doing some of the drills. He has been out since the Aug. 22 preseason game against Buffalo due to a quad contusion. Running back Brandon Jackson did not appear to be practicing due the ankle injury he sustained against the Titans.

The practice started 15 minutes later than its originally scheduled 10:15 a.m. time because of some additional morning meetings. Therefore, coach Mike McCarthy's final news conference of the week likely won't begin until about 12:25 p.m. That's when the official injury report is expected to be released. Friday is the only day of the week in which teams must classify players as either doubtful, questionable or probable.

You practice on Friday, you play on Sunday.

Looks like Raji, Blackmon will be available, Jackson on the other hand looks like he will be on the inactive list.

We will see if that old saying holds true the first week.
