This isnt the week the Green Bay Packers want to be short on run stoppers.

Four days before they face the NFLs leading rusher, Minnesotas Adrian Peterson, the Packers were without defensive linemen Johnny Jolly and B.J. Raji. Both were added to the injury report on Friday after they werent able to do much in practice, leaving their status for Mondays game at the Metrodome in doubt.

Raji, who has missed two of the first three games because of the ankle he aprained in the preseason finale, had another problem with the ankle in practice on Thursday. He went through only a few of the early drills in practice but wasnt in pads and officially was listed as a limited participant.

The Packers will hold one more practice today before leaving for Minneapolis on Sunday.

B.J. Raji had a setback with his ankle, Packers coach Mike McCarthy said after Fridays practice. Im hopeful hell practice (today). Well see how he feels (today).

Jolly injured his abdomen in practice on Thursday, but McCarthy seemed far more optimistic about his availability than he was about Rajis.

It just kind of flared up on him yesterday, McCarthy said. But Im confident that Johnny will probably practice tomorrow. Were just being smart with both of those guys.

If neither is able to play on Monday, it will leave the Packers short-handed. They only have six defensive linemen on their roster and have had five active for each of the first three games. Counting end Cullen Jenkins, who also has a groin injury but was a full participant in Fridays practice, half of the Packers defensive linemen were on the injury report.

They have two defensive linemen on the practice squad, end Ronald Talley and tackle Anthony Toribio, so they could promote one or both of them, but theyd have to make room on their 53-man roster.



Jolly has become a big key to this defense. This wouldn't be a good week to lose him.

Jolly practiced today and McCarthy said he "should be fine."

MM also had this to say about Raji:

I thought he practiced well. I'm curious to see how he feels in the morning. I would anticipate that he'll go, unless we have a setback in the morning.

My guess is that there is about a 0% chance that both miss the game. Close to that either miss. Its MN and last game before the bye.
The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Meh, we've heard the "will be fine" thing about Raji every week and then he would...not play.

We'll need ONE of them, that's for sure.

They're both probable. I mean, the same point could be made about Woodson, Jennings and Jenkins. They where all limited Friday. They all practiced fully today.

The Vikings have lucked out in the injury department so far. Although Steve Hutchinson is listed as questionable. Would make Pickett's and Jenkins' job that much easier and the running game a little less effective. Hutchinson is simply a beast.

much more concerned about JJ...and it seems like nothing to worry about. but yes, we lose him it's a major blow. of course it goes without saying that it's been disappointing watching Raji miss all this playtime, 1st rounder an' all.

I agree with Twinkiegorilla.

They will both be ready to go Monday night. Raji said in his interview he is ready to go.
