Finley, Nelson return to practice

Finley is listed as having a quad injury, although he also has been dealing with a swollen eye after getting poked in it during the Week 17 loss to the same Vikings team they’ll be hosting this weekend.

Nelson’s return to practice is a good sign for the Packers, although it doesn’t mean he’s definitely going to play. Coach Mike McCarthy said that Nelson looked good running, but that the team doctor “has some concerns” about his knee, according to Jason Wilde of ESPN Milwaukee.

Finley should be ok.

Woody's back too. So Jordy's a maybe and Worthy is out.

Great.. more opportunities for MM to instruct Rodgers to attempt to slaughter trivial team records in place of trying to win. [grin1]

Seriously though... a full compliment of receivers would be a welcomed sight for the Packers this season.. coupled with a improving running game in terms of effectiveness.. should really start to put pressure on defenses.

I just hope the team learns to effectively tackle AP this weekend.. then advance to a rematch with the Niners.

Of course I'm talking about the "most hated Packer" Jarret Bush!!!

Watch and see if Bush doesn't spell Woody at times and plays that 8th man in the box position.

Tramon, Sam and the rest of the boys can stay back in coverage, let Woody and Bush be the db Hammers!!!

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

Well now that the AP breaking the record thing is over, maybe we can actually get a few obvious holding calls draw flags on runs that are broken to the outside.

Woodson will help tremendously in run support.

It seems like it's been forever since the Pack has had all of the WR's on the field. I sure hope Nelson can play.

I see the cumulative effect of all the receivers we have on the field together making a huge difference in sustaining drives and scoring more points.

It's been great that this player or that player has stepped up any given week but I'll take Arod spreading the ball around to all these guys totally frustrating defenses any day.

beast (4h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (9h) : meh

Zero2Cool (13h) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (13h) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (13h) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (16h) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (16h) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (19h) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (19h) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
